History
The Nineteenth Army had been operating on a footing close to an actual war footing for some years prior to the Periphery Uprising due to the Concordat's tendency to be a hotbed for trouble within the Periphery. Consistently facing an ongoing low-level insurrection and an antagonistic civil population[2], the Nineteenth were better prepared than many for the explosion of violence that heralded the beginning of the Uprising; the Nineteenth chose to withdraw from some conflict zones while contesting others, and the presence of General Aleksandr Kerensky in the Nineteenth's midst kept morale high, even though the Nineteenth had taken substantial losses by mid 2767. Of the twenty-one Divisions and thirty Independent Regiments that formed the Nineteenth on paper, by the time of the 2767 ceasefire ten Divisions and eleven Regiments had been destroyed or disbanded, leaving the Nineteenth operating at just fifty-four percent of its original combat strength.[3]
