The Royal Cottish Army (Cottish: Kongelige Cottiske Hær) are the branch of government tasked with the ground defense of the Realm of Cotland and its interests abroad. The Army was first formed in 1626, and has defended the Realm since that time. Over the centuries, the Military has been transformed from a ragtag formation of volunteers and antiquated longboats to one of the fiercest and modern armed forces in the world.

History
Training
The Cottish soldier undergoes 9 weeks of basic training, where the recruit undergoes a training regime designed to build up the strength, stamina and endurance, both physical and psychological; learning how to confidently operate the basic tools of the soldier, namely the rifle, the bayonet, the battleaxe and his or her own body; and learning loyalty and commitment to a greater cause, namely that of the Nation. Basic Training typically take place in one of the eleven Recruit Training Depots operated by the Army.
After graduating from Basic Training, the Recruit is shipped off to advanced training in the field he has been selected to serve, whether it be infantry, armor, artillery, logistics, medical, engineer, et cetera. After a further 4-8 weeks of advanced training, the recruit will graduate and be proficient in the field where he or she has trained. At this point, the soldier is transfered to a unit where he or she will serve out the remainder of their National Service period of 18 months.
The Royal Cottish Army, like the other branches in the Royal Cottish Military accepts recruits of both genders. The demands put forth on the soldier is universal, meaning that they are identical for both the men and the women who are chosen to serve in the Army.
