Haaret Military

Overview

The military of Haaret is a dual-structured force composed of a professional standing military and a conscripted reserve levy. This system reflects Haaret’s balance between discipline and civic duty, ensuring both rapid readiness and broad national participation in defense.

All citizens deemed fit for service are required to complete two years of compulsory service, after which they enter the reserve rolls. The professional corps forms the backbone of command, training, and expeditionary capability, while the conscripts provide mass, reinforcement, and territorial defense.
