Host of the Hegemony's Frontier

The "Host of the Hegemony's Frontier" is a term applied to the activities of the Order of the Army stationed near the frontier settlements from the beginning of national existence during the Heavenly Revolution to present day

The principal functions performed by the Host are:

• guarding the frontier settlements in forts from hostile indigenous peoples;

• aiding the settlement of the West by developing and protecting the communication between the older settlements and the frontier, by exploring the West, constructing roads and defending the overland trails, water routes, telegraph, and railroad lines;

• policing the frontier until the civil governments can maintain order.
