Description

The Army of Garlawa is a Lithuanian extremist paramilitary force loyal to the self-styled Count of Garlawa. Publicly, the organization presents itself as a patriotic resistance movement dedicated to ending corruption, foreign dependency, political weakness, and the public reliance on “false heroes” such as Captain Lithuania.

In truth, the Army of Garlawa is a disciplined militant network designed to destabilize Lithuania from within. It combines political propaganda, targeted violence, tactical raids, sabotage, social media manipulation, and symbolic public demonstrations to make the Count appear not as a terrorist leader, but as a necessary alternative to the existing government.

The organization numbers approximately 300 active personnel, supported by sympathizers, smugglers, financiers, propagandists, and hidden technical cells.

HISTORY

The Army of Garlawa first appeared publicly in 2018, during a period of national strain in Lithuania following decades of Soviet occupation, the Soltan Star Empire invasion of Earth in 2000, and later attacks connected to ex-Soviet terrorist networks such as the Red Guard/Soviet Guard.

The group’s earliest operations were street-level but coordinated: attacks on police stations, political offices, government vehicles, and civilian businesses connected to political opponents. The Army quickly shifted from crude violence to theatrical violence. Each attack was designed to send a message, produce propaganda footage, or bait Lithuanian authorities into public missteps.

Their most infamous early operation involved a coordinated attack on a Vilnius police station. When Captain Lithuania intervened, the Count remotely disabled his armor, allowing Army of Garlawa fighters to nearly kill him before Lithuanian Special Forces arrived. This event became foundational to the group’s myth: proof, according to the Count’s propaganda, that even Lithuania’s greatest hero was vulnerable.

Later, when Captain Lithuania and Allied Fighters contacts helped dismantle several Garlawa cells, the Count arranged a civilian-poisoning trap that made the hero appear responsible for innocent deaths. Although the truth was later disputed, the damage to public trust was significant. The Army of Garlawa gained new recruits from the politically disaffected, ex-communist factions, neo-socialist radicals, unemployed veterans, criminal technicians, and citizens drawn to the Count’s false promise of restored national strength.

Today, the Army of Garlawa operates as a hybrid force: part insurgency, part private army, part cult of political personality.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

The Army of Garlawa is small compared to a true military force, but unusually disciplined for a paramilitary organization.

Command Structure

Supreme Commander:

Count of Garlawa

Senior Field Command:

4 Army of Garlawa Captains

Operational Command:

Lieutenants, cell leaders, technical officers, propaganda coordinators

Combat Force:

Approximately 300 troopers divided into cells, squads, security details, mobile strike teams, and urban disruption units

Estimated Force Layout

4 Captains
12–20 Lieutenants
40–60 squad leaders / senior troopers
220–250 regular troopers
Additional sympathizers, informants, logistics personnel, cyber-supporters, and off-book contractors

The Army is built to survive decapitation. If one cell is destroyed, the others continue operating. Captains know enough to lead major operations, but very few members know the Count’s full strategy.

BASES AND SAFEHOUSES

The Army of Garlawa does not operate from one permanent military base. Its infrastructure is layered and concealed.

Primary Command Site: Underground Castle War Room

The Count maintains a well-kept underground command chamber, possibly beneath an old estate, castle ruin, or historic property tied to sympathetic financiers. This site blends old stone architecture with modern electronics, secure communications, tactical displays, power systems, and encrypted map networks.

Features likely include:

Marble tactical planning table with electronic map system
Secure communications suite
Short-range drone control station
Armory vaults
Medical recovery room
Data archive and propaganda editing station
Emergency tunnel access
Garlawa banners and ceremonial command symbols

This location is as much theater as command center. It reinforces the Count’s image as a noble ruler operating from a hidden seat of power.

Secondary Sites

The Army also uses:

Abandoned Soviet-era bunkers
Rural farm compounds
Industrial warehouses
Safe apartments in Vilnius and Kaunas
Underground parking structures
Hidden server rooms
Mobile command vans
Temporary training camps in forested or rural terrain

Their bases are usually compartmentalized. Troopers may know only one depot, one safehouse, and one rally point.

VEHICLES

The Army of Garlawa uses practical, modern vehicles rather than large armored columns. Their vehicles are usually civilian or commercial platforms modified for tactical use.

Common Vehicles

Dark utility vans with hidden armor panels
Off-road SUVs
Modified pickup trucks
Motorcycles for couriers and scouts
Box trucks for weapons movement
Civilian sedans used for surveillance
Mobile communications vans
Small drones and quadcopters

Specialty Vehicles

Command Van: Equipped with encrypted radios, drone feeds, and tactical map systems
Riot Suppression Truck: Modified with reinforced grill, smoke launchers, and crowd-control gear
Armored Extraction SUV: Used to move Captains or key personnel under threat
Signal Masking Vehicle: Carries jammers, spoofers, and electronic interference systems

The Army avoids obvious heavy armor unless staging propaganda or a major assault.

UNIQUE WEAPONS AND TECHNOLOGY

The Army of Garlawa does not possess technology equal to the Count’s armor, but select units use advanced support gear derived from his systems.

Signature Technologies

Garlawa Tactical Network

- Encrypted short-range communication system linking captains, lieutenants, drone operators, and command cells.

Armor Disruption Modules
- Rare devices inspired by the Count’s anti-armor shutdown capabilities. These are weaker than the Count’s own system and usually require proximity, line of sight, or preloaded technical data.

Herald Drones
- Small quadcopters used for surveillance, propaganda recording, target tracking, and crowd monitoring. Some carry flash charges, smoke markers, or signal repeaters.

Ward-Pattern Armor Plates
- Ceremonial-looking armor inserts marked with energy-conductive patterns. These offer limited protection and reinforce the Count’s tech-or-magic mystique.

Signal Scramblers
- Portable jamming units used to disrupt police radios, drones, cameras, and hero communications.

Propaganda Capture Kits
Helmet cameras, drone cameras, body cameras, and rapid-upload devices used to edit and broadcast attacks within minutes.

DOCTRINE

The Army of Garlawa operates under five principles:

Control the image before the battlefield.
Force heroes into no-win scenarios.
Strike symbols, not just targets.
Withdraw before full military response arrives.
Turn every loss into recruitment material.

They are not built to conquer Lithuania through open war. They are built to make the public question whether the existing state can protect itself.

PERSONNEL

CAPTAIN

The Army of Garlawa Captains are the Count’s senior field commanders. There are only four, and each is expected to command major operations, control multiple cells, and represent the Count’s authority in the field.

Captains wear ornate red, green, and gold command armor inspired by the Count’s own regal style, though less elaborate than his personal suit. Their armor blends old-world Lithuanian noble imagery with modern tactical command systems. They appear more like militant knight-commanders than ordinary officers.

Captains are not merely soldiers. They are political enforcers, battlefield commanders, public symbols, and loyalty judges. A Captain may lead a raid one night, coordinate propaganda the next morning, and conduct internal discipline by sunset.

Typical Captain Profile

Senior militant commander
Highly loyal to the Count
Politically indoctrinated
Comfortable speaking to recruits and civilians
Trained in tactics, command, propaganda, and urban warfare
Often given ceremonial visibility during rallies or staged public actions
May command 50–90 personnel depending on the operation

LIEUTENANT

Army of Garlawa Lieutenants are the operational backbone of the organization. They are less ceremonial than Captains but far more capable than ordinary troopers. They lead squads, manage safehouses, oversee weapons caches, command strike teams, and act as the link between the Captains and the rank-and-file troops.

Lieutenants usually wear lighter versions of the Captain’s uniform: tactical armor with more visible field utility, muted green/tan camouflage, red and gold officer accents, and a distinctive Garlawa badge. Some wear partial capes, officer scarves, or reinforced shoulder guards to show rank.

They are practical, disciplined, and dangerous. Many are former soldiers, police officers, intelligence assets, smugglers, or politically radicalized professionals.

Typical Lieutenant Profile

Squad or cell commander
Manages 8–20 personnel
Handles mission planning at the tactical level
Controls weapons distribution and communications discipline
Often supervises propaganda recording and retreat timing
May specialize in drones, demolitions, intelligence, or electronic disruption

TROOPERS

Army of Garlawa Troopers are the primary combat personnel of the organization. They are modern paramilitary fighters equipped with tactical camouflage, rifles, body armor, communications gear, and faction insignia. Their uniforms are intentionally designed to look professional and visually appealing, creating a “cool elite army” image that supports recruitment.

Troopers are not all equal. Some are hardened veterans. Others are radicalized youths, ex-criminals, failed soldiers, unemployed security contractors, or politically angry recruits seeking status and belonging.

They are trained to operate in small cells, avoid prolonged engagements, capture propaganda footage, and withdraw before superior government forces arrive.
