The Macabees

With the occupation of Guffingford [most of it] & northern Safehaven, the Second Empire has begun recruiment of local population into auxiliary divisions, promising citizenship, ample tracks of land to cultivate, a steady wage and adventure. With an increasing amount of said auxiliaries - maxing out at around half a million personnel - the Empire has also decided to steadily decrease the size of its armed forces, since the War of Golden Succession is now months behind in history and relations with Stevid and Independent Hitmen seem to be stabilizing. Although the Ejermacht disbanded the 'Foreign Legion' during the last months of the war it now seems its error, since these soldiers provide manpower that can be used anywhere - without fear of loss - while Macabee citizens can be demobilized [slowly; very slowly] back into the civilian world. As a consequence, the Fuermak High Command has decided to allow the creation of another 'Foreign Legion' known as the Díenstadi Régulies. As of now they are only organized into quasi-infantry divisions of anywhere between fifteen thousand to eighteen thousand men, depending if they're mechanized or not.
Terch (Division) - est. 16,500 men (mechanized infantry).
- 3x Harka (Brigade sized; est. 5,500 men a piece).
--> Each Harka has 5 Tabors (Regimental size unit - approx. 1,100 men per Tabor).
---> Each Tabor has nine to ten Bandags, or companies.
Companies are fairly simple and should be explained from the ground up:
2 ekipés = 1 sektón
Each ekipé has 4 soldiers, so it's a fire team, and a sektón is an eight man squad.
4 sektóns = 1 Pieletón (or platoon) = 32 men
As a consequence, each Bandag tends to have around 4 Pieletón's (I don't want to use Dienstadi declentions, so it's basically a transliteration).

It's likely that recruitment stations have been placed all over the world, where we know that we can get recruits, and so if you think your country has ex-soldiers or people looking for adventure please post! All units have a name they're known for, and normally it's historic to the origins of the soldiers in the unit and so please provide for that, as well.
