1st Arjentrian Revolutionary Army

The 1st Arjentrian Revolutionary Army was the main fighting force of the Arjentrian revolutionaries during the Arjentrian Revolution. They were crucially involved in the Arjentrians' war of independence against the Conoilithian Imperial Army, and would later form the newfound Arjentrian Republic's first regular army. The 1st Arjentrian Revolutionary Army saw action on the West-Heinrikanen Front, where most of the Arjentrian Revolution's strongest fighting and conventional warfare took place. It existed alongside the 2nd Arjentrian Revolutionary Army and the 3rd Arjentrian Revolutionary Army, both of which were far smaller in size and fought mainly as partisans.

COMPOSITION
The 1st Arjentrian Revolutionary Army was made up of a loyal and professional core of trained soldiers, most of whom had mutinied against the Imperial Conoilithian Army, deserted, and joined the revolution; the rest was an assortment of hunters, farmers, workers, students and other ethnic Arjentrian civilians who had decided to sign up. Originally consisting of under 10,000 troops, the army increased in numbers in the years after the Kralkuren Mutiny, although their size was always limited due to their need to frequently split up and move around to avoid encirclement and annihilation. At its highest point, however, after its victory in 2915 at the Battle of Einanen, and the day before the Arjent was formally granted independence, the 1st Arjentrian Revolutionary Army came to reach a size 60,000 men strong, as more Imperial Army units defected and more supporters joined its ranks.

HISTORY
The 1st Arjentrian Revolutionary Army was founded during the Kralkuren Mutiny. In 2912, following a declaration from the Imperial Conoilithian government that would result in the dissolution of all Arjentrian military units in the Imperial Conoilithian Army, officers of ethnic Arjentrian troops stationed in Kralkuren province led their men in an uprising against the Conoilithian Empire, overwhelming the garrison and requisitioning the city armoury's stores, before escaping into the countryside.
