abstract
| - The Cygnaran military is one of the most technologically advanced in the world as well as the largest army in the Iron Kingdoms. In recent years it has been forced to be defensive; since the outbreak of war in 605 AR, simultaneous attacks on all its borders - from Cryx, Khador, the Protectorate and the Skorne, as well as a growing trollkin insurrection internally have drained Cygnar's war readiness. All soldiers within the Cygnaran Army is subject to the dictates of the Warmaster General (currently Olson Turpin), as well as King Leto himself. Other important figures are the Navarch Govan Trent, head of the Cygnaran Navy, the shadowy spymaster Scout General Bolden Rebald of the Cygnaran Reconnaissance Service (CRS) and Duke Mayhew Dergeral of Ceryl, who has informal influence over the Cygnaran 4th army. The Cygnaran is organized into four primary divisions, or "armies": 1st Army - the largest army, it defends the northern border of Cygnar. After the fall of the Thornwood, the army holds the line along the Dragon's Tongue River from Point Bourne to Corvis . 2nd Army - tasked with the defense of the coasts against Cryxian incursions. 3rd Army - the second largest army, it recently rebuffed the Protectorate's invasion of Caspia. It is also responsible for the defense of Fort Falk and Eastwall against Skorne invasion. 4th Army - the smallest army, it is based in the northwestern city of Ceryl and holds the Ordic border. Recently, the 4th Army has moved troops eastward to force a trollkin insurrection out of Crael Valley. Because the the 4th army protects the comparitively peaceful Ordic boarder the 4th has been used as a dumping ground for undesireable service men and women from other, more active armies. Recently a fifth branch has been added under the command of Lord General Colman Stryker. Formerly refered to as the Storm Division due to a focus on Storm Chamber technology, it remains to be seen whether that designation will change now that its commander has been promoted to Lord General.
