Many of Captain-General Marik's military reforms which his Regulan Hussars have not favored, have been slowed down or not been implemented.[7] Kirc had cited that cultural precedent that Hussar would not change some of its ways. However, due to Kirc going along with the Military Reformation Act, the Regulan Hussars have suffered from low priority for supplies.[8]
