Press Release; July 6, 20??
Edolian Ministry of Information
"Under the new military reorganization program currently underway, the Legions of Edolia will be restructured into a division-and-army command structure. This will also come alongside the military's massive military spending increase, adding an extra two and a half trillion dollars on to the budget, bringing the $3.2 trillion dollar budget up to $5.6 trillion. Much of this money will be used to expand the air force and rebuild the navy, although at least a trillion will go into the expansion of the army's reserve program. Training Edolians whose jobs require low levels of skill to be effective and efficient soldiers will supplement the army's approximately 500,000 elite regular infantry with an additional force of troops -whose skill levels are still expected to be quite sufficient. The Legions will still make up the core of the new army, with an additional 300,000 elite Legionaries added to the army.
The I Army will be the first to be commissioned under the new program and will consist entirely of veterans of the recent Allanea-UnAPS conflict. It will be made up of approximately 100,000 elite soldiers who will form a "rapid-deployment" force, able to engage in conflict quickly and effectively. The controversial General Albert von Tusk is expected to head up the I Army. Although the details of the military reorganization have not yet been developed, it is believed that the new army will consist of approximately 800,000 elite Legionaries and some two million regular citizen-soldiers.
Johannes von Clesiburg, Marshal of the Scarlet Legions said of the reorganization:
'We have proven that Edolians are the finest soldiers in Haven, inflicting gruesome casualties on the Allaneans. Over 100 soldiers of the Accord soldiers were killed for each Edolian or other Allied soldier laid low, and in this fine tradition, we shall continue building our might Legions. They shall be ready to meet tomorrow's dangers.'"
