Lontshire Battalion

The Lontshire Battalion is the military retinue of the Baron of Lontshire, and serves as an active ground force for the Barony's interests and the Kingdom of Stormwind's interest as a whole.

Organization
The Battalion is organized into branches that fulfill a specific purpose within the overall military. The absolute head of the military is the reigning Baron of Lontshire (or his regent), but the powers are devolved to the Steward, who acts as the administrative head of the battalion. Below the Steward would be the Commander, which acts as the highest ranking field officer, and manages the day to day training and operations of the military.

From the Commander, two Knight-Captains and one Knight-Lieutenant are appointed to serve the three main branches of the military, which include: Ground, Specialist, and Reservist.
