The '''Royal Antoran Armed Legions''' (Corric: ''Legiones Armas de Antora Réal'', abbreviated LAAR,) is the terrestrial branch of the [[Royal Antoran Defense Forces]]. The Legions weretrace foundedtheir inhistory 1258back inover 700 years to the Kingdom of Casilló,. asThey awere consolidationfounded ofas the professional men-at-arms cavalry of King Arturo I, which were instrumental in conquering the smaller petty-kingdoms that now made up the state. Over the centuries various Arranzic monarchs would expand upon the Legions until they formed the core of the standing army, ten-thousand strong.

The Legions saw action in the Corric annexation of Catrás in 1983 and again in the Corric Succession Crisis of 1987, though the amount of insurrectionist units was much lower than in other military branches. In 2022, the Legions were renamed to the Royal Antoran Armed Legions and began to undergo changes to reflect the membership of Antora in the [[Inter-Novaran Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance|Inter-Novaran Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance.]]
The Legions remained intact in the face of the Corric Succession Crisis of 1985. The long history of the service has kept certain traditions alive, including chivalric oaths of fealty to monarch and country. These oaths are considered outdated, but many Legionnaires report that they helped maintain unit cohesion and loyalty in the face of near-fracturing of the royal family. In 2022, the Legions were renamed to the Royal Antoran Armed Legions.
 
The mission statement of the Legions is to guard the borders of Antoran territory and the lands within from domestic or foreign threats, to protect the people from tyranny, and to exercise the will of the Crown upon the nations enemies. The Armed Legions have a total strength circa 20212022 of 115100,156 soldiers, support staff, and civilian contractors.
 
== Organization ==
The branch is headed by the Chief General of the Legions, an appointed position on the Royal Antoran Defense Forces General Staff, while operational control and command of the Legions is given to the Legion Marshal, the most senior commissioned officer in the service. The Armed Legions operate eleven Legions, division sized units with large autonomy. Three Legions are Venture Legions, and are stationed outside Antoran sovereign territory. The Legion Marshal chairs the Board of Generals, which is populated by the commanding officers of each of the Legions, and overseers administrative and operational objectives for the service. The current Chief General is Salvador Ballester, previously General of the 3rd Legion. The current Legion Marshal is Ana Isabel de Durans, the Countess Durans.
 
==='''Armed Legions Structure'''===
The Armed Legions are based around the concept of the Lanza, or Lance. Historically, the basic military unit of Antoran chivalry was a mounted and armored man-at-arms, a caballero, accompanied by a mounted and almost-as-well armored squire, one or two mounted archers and an armed servant. A group of three to six lances was called a Fila, or File. A similar number of Files was known as an Escuadrón, or Squadron. These terms have been adopted by the Armed Legions as the official classifications for unit structure. Squad-sized units are Lances, up to platoon-sized Files, company-sized Squadrons, battalion-sized Companies up through Regiments, a term used for both the typical unit of that term as well as brigades, and then to division-sized Legions. There are four types of Legion: Mobile, Armored, Siege, and Venture.
 
===='''Mobile Legions'''====
 
The Mobile Legions are the primary maneuver element of the Armed Legions, operating mechanized infantry integrated with various artillery fires and airborne elements. Their role in doctrine is to use their motorized and mechanized capabilities to react to hostile movements, providing a flexible option to deal with changes in enemy deployment, pin and reconnoiter hostile forces for other units, penetrate hostile territory to destroy infrastructure and rear-echelon units, and act as a reserve in other situations. They each consist of a Headquarters Company, Engineering Company, a Support Regiment, three Mobile Rifle Regiments, an Armored Company, an Artillery Regiment, an Aviation Company, and a Supply Regiment.

==== Venture Legions ====
The Venture Legions are combined arms formations, utilizing mechanized infantry with integrated artillery, airborne, and air defense elements as well as special units such as CRBN and counterterrorism. These three Legions were created from aggregate formations left over during the Defense Forces restructure to serve as expeditionary and defensive pact units. Contrasting other Legions, the Venture Legions include paramilitary personnel from the Order of the Red Eagle. Each of the Legions is stationed in the territory of the other members of INTRA. They train in conjunction with local military forces to better integrate and evolve advanced Treaty strategies.
