Alexshin Order Revolutionary Army

The Alexshin Order Revolutionary Armed Forces (AORA; commonly referred to as Alexshin Order Revolutionary Army), is the military wing of the Alexshin Order. The group is meant to utilize guerrilla warfare against poorly protected military targets, including transport convoys and minor outposts. Weapons of the AORA include the Kalashnikov series of assault rifles, captured military-issue weapons, civilian weapons, outdated equipment stolen from museums, and some improvised armament. In short, the organization prefers weapons which are easily (and cheaply) acquired, usually of Soviet origin. However, the AORA has not been involved in any firefights and merely exist to protect the purposes of the AROP.

Purpose
The AORA's purpose is to "Utilize any force necessary - including assassinations, bombings, espionage, guerrilla warfare, kidnappings, and sabotage - to defend the members and Leader of the AROP and eliminate threats to the life or freedom of any AROP/AORA member." In short, this means that the AORA is responsible to kill anyone who tries to kill or imprison members of the AROP.

Membership oath
Upon joining the AORA, all individuals must swear an oath of loyalty:

''I swear by all that is Holy, that I will protect my faith and what is dear to me, even if it means giving up my life for its defense. I swear sincerely that I will never allow myself to be hurt or defeated by any government, authority, or humanity, that I shall always resist those who stand against me, and destroy those who threaten to relieve me of my freedom, my well-being, or my life. I swear that I shall not show fear when I stand before the death I have chosen and prepared myself for, that I shall not surrender the battle that has been forced upon me, and that I will never allow myself to be defeated by the forces of Evil. As long as my arm can be risen and my hand grip a sword, I will keep striking down those who stand against me or my faith. ''

''I swear also that I shall protect my family and my home by whatever means are necessary, against anyone who threatens to harm my family or take my home from me. As long as I still stand I shall keep fighting against whoever has deliberately attacked me and the fellow defenders of justice. Should a thousand men stand in my way they will all meet death, thus I fight with honor and truth. If a thousand men attack me I shall not fear death, but fight with all my force and strength. I will die happy, should I take ten evil men with me. As long as any human resist me, my family, my friends or my faith, I will not hesitate to strike his throat or stab his heart. There is no unhappiness for he who believe in truth. There is no death for the one who fights for justice. There is no end to the struggle against evil.''

''I swear also that I shall love my family with eternal faithfulness and love, that I shall care and defend them as long as I breathe. I shall forever love the one I have married and never betray or hurt her, and I shall give all my time and love to my sons and daughters. I swear to teach the true faith to those who share my blood, that my spouse shall belong to our holy faith, that my family will for ten thousand years stand for the defense of justice. I swear for all of us that we will not give up the defense of truth, and that we together shall fight as an army in battle against Evil. I swear also that I shall never have doubt nor hesitate to give my life in defense of my family and home.''

By all that is holy, in Heaven and on Earth, I swear this oath to fight evil for all eternity.

Legal status
According to current sources, more than 75% of the AORA's soldiers are under 18 of age, and half of the soldiers are women. All are volunteers, usually recruited by friends and family who are already part of the Alexshin Order or any of its other sub-wings. Members of the AORA receive hard training that is described as "more than enough to defend ourselves". This includes martial arts, shooting, survival, first aid and law - both the laws of war and the laws of the organization. All soldiers are aware that it is strictly prohibited to use violence against civilians, and that they must treat prisoners of war with respect. Death penalty is the punishment for many crimes within the AORA, but no executions have taken place so far. The main purpose of the AORA is to protect and not destroy, according to an unidentified spokesman. The AORA has, according to civilian laws, commited many crimes including stealing and threatening. Despite this, there is no legal reason to mark the AORA as a terrorist group, as they have proved to be just as respectful towards the laws of war as any national army.

AORA laws
The AORA has written their own laws to be able to control their members more effectively on the battlefield. The most notable of these are:
 * All members of AORA are authorized to kill military, militia, police, and other state authority that opposes the organization.
 * All members of AORA are to be protected from any authority that attempts to kill, wound, threaten or imprison members of the organization.
 * All members of AORA must contribute 50% of their personal funds to the organization.
 * AORA will not accept surrender under any circumstances.
 * AORA will obey any orders given to them by the AROP.
 * Deserters will be imprisoned in an AORA facility.
 * Male and female members must be treated equally.
 * Male and female POWs must be treated equally.
 * New members can only be accepted by the Supreme Commander of AORA or his/her representatives.
 * No attacks against civilians will be accepted, unless there is evidence that the civilians had armed themselves.
 * Should a member be imprisoned, the AORA is responsible to use whatever force necessary to liberate him/her.
 * Should the Supreme Commander find it necessary, AORA members are permitted to use suicide attacks and chemical weapons in combat against the enemy.

Military actions
So far no military actions have taken place. AORA is currently standing by to prevent any attempts to eliminate the AROP. The group is heavily armed and spread out to a number of key positions around the world. The group is estimated to have between 500 and 1,300 members.
