The entire Lurdentanian Army was deployed, to defend Fort Roy and ultimately the Imperial Palace against invading foreign and domestic rebels. The civil war, whilst tedious and long, resulted in a Government Victory. No major casualties were obtained during the civil war, except for a rolled ankle which was caused during a Rebel rush on Fort Roy. The Siege of Fort Roy occured against a local communist Micronation, attempting to attack Fort Roy. The attack lasted a mere hour and was repelled by the 1st Western Myrth Regiment.

The Army also is against the use of lethal weapons which could cause serious injury.
