Special Forces

Some formations are all professional and some contain a mixture of professional and other troops and can therefore be included on both lists. The College of Magic is not part of the army list and many of its regiments are insignificant in size though not in effect. The Anirestyu Corps are administrators and officers only: the workers are not part of the military. Regiments of the Hunter Corps are usually less than half the size of other regiments.
