For reference purposes, my castle has a permanent garrison of only 100 or so
Dragon Guards (the King's Royal Body Guards), relying on the formidable
foritifications and local citizenry for defense. To this end the adjacent
outerworks of the castle contains an armory capable of supplying 1000 uniformed
and well-armed "regular army" foot soldiers comprised of the local populace
(military training is mandatory for every adult). The Dragon Gaurds field and
additional 150 mounted men abroad in the countryside to administer the King's
justice and patrol the borders. They are often supported by foot soldiers from
regular army units on training excersizes and sometimes from cooperation
brigades to patrol frontier areas with units from allied nations . The Gunnary
School and the Royal Navy are the only units from the regular army to maintain
year-round readiness.
