Ahknan Military
Structure
The army itself is made up of around 1.57 million soldiers, structured meticulously in a tiered power system. The Ahknan army is structured as follows:
Fanrak
The fanrak has the most control over the military, with the rorak only stepping in during major decisions that affect the national populace (war declarations, trade embargos, etc.). The holder of this position represents the military in council meetings, and makes all major decisions that affect the military itself.
Rhabal
The Rhabal oversees a Rhakon, which is a half of the army that is generally used for offensive or defensive strikes in battle. One Rhakon will focus on using their troops for offense, and the other will focus on using their half for defense. Each half contains around 780,000 individual soldiers on average.
Jirabal
Two Jirabals work together on the control and command of each half the army. In all, there are four Jirabals, each commanding their own Jirka, a combined group of 390,000 soldiers. Each Jirabal needs the approval of the other three in order to take any important issue to the Rhabal or Fenrak. They often trade positions with other, switching their respective Rhabal commanders. This is done in effort to keep the entire army unified.
Hethebal
In all, there are eight Hethebals, each overseeing a group of 196,000 soldiers called a Hethka. This position contains no real authority to give orders, but instead serves a conduit to relay what the Jirabal commands and makes sure that the orders are carried out. The Hethebals themselves do not fight in combat, and are simply tasked to take note of any information and census from each battle.
Ohkebal
Each Hethebal gets reports from and relays information to four Ohkebals. The Ohkebal is the next station with any commanding power. They're the ones to assess the readiness of 50,000 soldiers for combat, and receive all updates concerning statistics of their divisions. Each group they oversee is called an Ohkena. If needed, they have power to order troops to transfer locations. There are in all, twenty-four Okhebals.
Dohkbal
Each Dohkbal is control of a Dohkan, a group of about 12,200 soldiers. A Dohkbal ensures that all flows according to order in the groups below them. Like the Hethebals, they have no real commanding power, and instead exist simply to make sure that no major problems are happening in the chain of order. Four Dohkbals will report to a single Okhebal, resulting in there being ninety-six Dohkbals.
Ajebal
Ajebals oversee around 3000 soldiers in groups called Ajbans, and make sure that health-related supplies (food, bandages, etc.) are delivered to the groups they are in charge of. Typically, they'll request more supplies or report surpluses to a Dohkal, and distribute them out fairly and equally. Four Ajebals will report to one Dohkal, creating 384 Ajebals within the army.
Ehkabal
An Ehkabal comes with more power; they can order troops into major battles, each commanding around 750 soldiers. A group of mobilized soldiers, an Ehkan, is usually only deployed on major battle fields, away from any nearby towns. There are 1536 Ehkabals, and so normally one Ehkan will not be sent into combat without another. There is usually one offense-focused group and one defense-focused group, at the very least.
Sakhabal
A Sakshan is a group of around 190 soldiers, and is formed for travel and living purposes. Each is overseen by a Sakshan, who is merely a mediator for each group. They make sure there's no in-fighting, and that aspects of travel and living situations run smoothly. They are essentially resident assistants for the military, and there are around 6000 of them, each overseeing a different set of soldiers.
Lakbal
Breaking things down even further, a Lanka is a group of around 50 soldiers that train and work together. The members of these groups are constantly switching and changing, and the heads of them are called Lakbals. The Lakbals ensure that training goes smoothly, and that some larger-scale field missions are carried out as planned. They have no commanding power, however, unless they are given it by an Ekhabal, although typically they are the ones to order training exercises. There are around 24,000 soldiers holding the position of Lakbal.
Kabanbal
For smaller-scale missions and formation of comradery, soldiers are split into groups of twelve called Khaibas. Khaibas serve mostly to help organize eating and sleeping arrangements, and the leader of each group, the Kabanbal, only serves as a reporter to a Lakbal or Sakhabal, to convey whether or not everything in order.
Karakbal
Alkhons are teams of four or five who train and fight closely together. It establishes a base of personal connection between soldiers, which is believed to encourage them to fight harder. They are simply small teams who are used in scouting, reconnaissance, or any other type of mission that doesn't involve fighting on it's own.
Public Agenda
The Ahknan army publically pledges to keep its citizens safe, and to uphold the coalition of the seven tribal nations. It is made up of warriors from every nation, allowing for continental collaboration and protection.
Assets
The army comes with specified troops and teams, along with an arsenal of blade and projectile weapons. It also owns about thirty forts along the border between Ahkna and Oas, as well as massive transportation wagons. It's sometimes used to enforce certain nationwide laws on local levels, as any soldier has the right to put a stop to anything threatening peace or societal safety (which is currently ill-defined by authorities, and so has sometimes led to an abuse of power by the soldiers).
