Re-Organizing the Böhnstadt Army

Princeps Erhard Berthold von Jazygen, in his great wisdom, has issued an edict to increase the number of new recruits to the Land Army of Schultze-Böhnstadt, in preparation for the encroachment by Medvetland to the Rebel Territories.

As the Principality has many allies to the East, constantly threatened by the Tekirdagac border vassals and the Northern foe, intervention on the side of the Rebels is looming...

The edict calls for renaming and reorganizing multiple regiments of foot and raising three more (along with their respecitve reserve battalions). The Varangian border garrison force is also to be integrated to this structure. 

This way the Army total is the following:

• Eleven rgts.of foot (eight musketeer, three fusilier) and two detached Grenadier battalions under IR1 and IR2
• One rgt. of foot Jäger
• One large rgt.of Grenzer
• Two rgts. of Dragoons, Küirassiers and Hussars each
• One rgt. of mounted Jäger
• Four rgts. of Artillery (each of ten field pieces) plus siege train
• Additional elements like lifeguard cavalry, pioneers etc.

Recruitment begins for the new units, while the older ones fill their ranks from the reserve, to replenish the losses suffered during the Störkburg Valley campaign.

There have also been some promotions, many former lieutenant-colonels rising to full colonelcy, while others gained the honorary Brigadier title, which is a middle rank in the SB army between lieutenant-general and colonel.
