Armee
- Motto of the Finorskian Armee.
The Finorskian armee was founded in 2023 fallowing the ratification of the constitution. At first underfunded and under equipped, the Finorskian Armee had to make do with what it could get. This consisted mainly of the weapons used by the Finorskian rebels that fought against Valdriech. What they lacked in with equipment however they made up for in discipline and training. After the Valdriech war many of the rebels that did not want to involve themselves in politics were made the first generals of Finorskia. These generals passed on the skills of guerrilla warfare that they had learned from there time spent fighting the Valdriech forces. Eventually when the fledgling government found the funds to support the Armee, it quickly grew to include armored and artillery support. Today the Armee is the most funded of all the military branches and, numbers over four million men and women. Though it has grown much from its original guerrilla roots the training still requires that all Finorskian soldiers be trained in the art of guerrilla warfare. It is considered and honor to serve in the Armee and, those that join enjoy many benefits. Of all the wars that Finorskia has participated in the Armee was there, though they only saw combat in one.
It is the common belief among the Armee commanders that the best offense is a good defense. This strategy is used only when taking up a defensive position is necessary. When the Armee finds itself on the offensive however, they adopt a much more aggressive stance. This strategy is known as Blitzkrieg aus der Luft, or Lightning war from the sky. It was General Baskov who stated that "If an armed force could enter an engagement from the air, and then deploy quickly. They could easily overwhelm the enemy while taking half the casualties." This strategy is used quite often., with Armee forces entering the battlefield on the wings of Finorskias Vestugrad and Vestugrand VTOL transports. Both doctrines are widely used, though many commanders have come up with there own doctrines for there divisions, or have modified the doctrine.
