The Tarvitian Army is the terrestrial forces branch of the Kingdom of Tarvit that was widely active as the Neuki Army pre-Tarvit, the majority of the Tarvitian Army's duties were handed to the Tarvitian Cyber Service and Tarvitian Air Force upon the merging of the Tarvit Republic and the Kingdom of Neuk to form the Kingdom of Tarvit. The Tarvitian Army retained all Neuki units upon the amalgamation and has remained in it's post merge state since.

History

Neuki Era

Pre-Tarvit, the service was known as the Neuki Army as it was the terrestrial forces branch of the Kingdom of Neuk involved in the Mouse War and South Mcarthian Intervention. Formed by, then, Kaiser Keenan Carr I it was given the task of protecting the interests of the people of the Kingdom and it's monarch. It successfully upheld that duty throughout it's service to the Neuki Crown.

Tarvitian/Neuki Merger

Upon the merge of the inactive Tarvit Republic and the Kingdom of Neuk, the Tarvitian Army was formed by the amalgamation of the two nations forces. The hierarchy and structure was adopted from the Neuki Army and training areas around Tarvit Pond were adopted from the Tarvit Republic. The Presidential Guards unit of the Tarvitian Republican Self Defence Force was disbanded with no amalgamation with a new unit.

Tarvitian Era

The Tarvitian Army was loosely involved in the Afrax Values Intervention in late-March 2019 while supporting the Tarvitian Cyber Service in enforcing Tarvitian Values. As the intervention involved no physical altercation, the Tarvitian Army's 17 Regiment Royal Corps of Observation was utilised to provide intelligence to the Cyber Forces. The 8th Biological Warfare & Mele Regiment were put on standby in the case of any physical action by the opposing parties.

Unit Structure

Tarvitian forces are structured within two Battalions, one is an active fighting Battalion (1st Battalion Royal Vislas) and the other is dedicated to secretive saboteur/infiltration operations (2nd Battalion Abyssinian's Watch). The battalions were established on the 15th of May 2019 by L.M. Sir Keenan Carr in a bid to better structure Tarvits Army in light of the Afrax Value Intervention where the use of a covert use of force was encroaching onto the negotiating table.

Insurgencies

Upon Tarvit undergoing it's reactivation during August 2019, Rex. Lachlan, for the first time in the micronation's history, opened the Kingdom to the possibility of supporting small local "insurgencies". The Rex stated that, in light of the current state of affairs involving institutions surrounding and governing many of his peers led him to advocate for the support of small organised groups that support Tarvitian Values in the hopes to allow voices to be heard by those at the bottom.

Name of Insurgency	Subgroup	Purpose	Support
Bell Baxter Pupil Freedom Movement	Sixth Year Movement	The BBPFM was formed in response to actions of a new Head Teacher at Bell Baxter High School who undermined mental health issues and pupil freedoms in pursuit of "Upholding a strict behavioral policy". The BBPFM aims to keep actions taken against pupils to a reasonable and measured level, protecting the freedom of the pupils to feel safe and included in an educational institution.	The Kingdom of Tarvit supports the BBPFM Sixth Year Movement through educating and advising the senior pupils to lead the organisation.
Bell Baxter Pupil Freedom Movement	Fifth Year Movement		The support given to the Fifth Year Movement directly by the Kingdom is limited, Tarvit prefers for the insurgency to govern itself and mostly leaves the Sixth Year Movement to lead the organisation.
