City-State of Greenville Army
The Greenville Army (Green-vill Armee) is one of two military forces of the City-State of Greenville. The Greenville Army was founded with the Greenville Navy in 1969 by Mayor Willcomb to defend Greenville during the Greenville War of Independence. The Greenville Army's first General was General Jonas Quake (appointed 1969). The first engagement of the Greenville Army was the Battle of Minnow Creek.

Organization
The Greenville Army is commanded by a Command General who lives at the War Department Head Quarters in Greenville. There are two Generals under the Command General, one General Commands the Active Army and the other commands the Reserve Army.

Greenville Army
The Greenville Army consists of two Divisions.



1st Division South
1st Division South is responsible for the defense of the southern half of Greenville in the event of an attack. When not under attack, the 1st Division can be deployed by the Mayor to go to combat. The 1st Division is lead by a Colonel who lives at Fort Minnow. Officers assigned to the 1st Division live at Fort Minnow while Troops assigned to 1st Division typically live off base, but if they choose to live off base they half to live in the southern portion of Greenville. Despite living off base, 1st Division Personnel have to report to Fort Minnow for work daily because they are active duty.

1st Division's shoulder patch features a "redneck" holding a rifle with the slogan "Ragin' Rednecks". This mascot and logo was chosen in 1969 because the majority of 1st Division recruits were refered to as "redneck" by other residents in the town. Something to note about 1st Division is that each Troop and officer must sew his own patch. This is done to cut costs and instill unit pride.

Under the 1st Division is two regiments, An infantry regiment (1st Infantry Regiment) and a logistics regiment (3rd Supply Regiment). 1st Regiment consists of 2 Infantry Companies and is lead by a Lieutenant Colonel. 3rd Regiment is lead by a Major and consists of a single platoon.



2nd Division North
2nd Division North is responsible for the defense of the northern half of Greenville in the event of an attack. The 2nd Division typically dosen't deploy but if it needs to a Reserve Division can be called to active duty for the duration of their deployment. Besides Defense, the 2nd Division is responsible for training new Troops. For the first 6 months of their contract, Troops are normally assigned to the 2nd Division and mixed among more experienced troops so they can learn from them. There are two primary reasons that 2nd Division trains new Troops, the first being that 2nd Division Personell live on base at Fort Minnow and the second being that 2nd Division typically will not deploy.

2nd Division has a unique shoulder patch. During the first 6 months of service,



Troops are not allowed to wear the shoulder patch featuring the Division mascot and motto because many of those troops will be reassigned after the first 6 months. Instead, Troops serveing their first six months wear the "Trainee Patch" and are refered to as Trainee in place of Troop unless they hold rank (most of them do not hold rank). Even with rank, Trainee Troops must wear the Trainee patch.

As far as the primary shoudler patch for 2nd Division is concerned, it features the Division ,motto (Smoken' Longrifles) and the 2nd Division mascot (a longrife) The motto and mascot were chosen because the first commander of the 2nd Divsion (Colonel Matthew Williams appointed 1969) carried his grandfather's longrifle into battle at the Battle of Minnow Creek, simualtainously earning him the nickname "Longrifle".

Under the 2nd Division is organized just like the 1st Division, except that the Regiments Assigned to 2nd Division are the 2nd Infantry Regiment and 4th Supply Regiment.
