+===== The Military =====
+The Battalion school of war in the bayous of Pine Island trains
+hundreds of future officers every year, and works in connection
+with various district forts throughout the city, as well as naval bases
+on an island near the mouth of Flint Harbor. Flint still remembers
+a few naval skirmishes that threatened shipping eight years ago,
+and so the military maintains a constant watch for possible threats.
+Normally, though, they will not respond unless a district mayor or
+the city governor himself calls on them.\\
+While few individual soldiers have magical training, the military
+has acquired over the years a wide variety of enchanted weapons
+and defenses. Perhaps foremost among these, every soldier sta-
+tioned in The Nettles district fort is given an amulet to ward them
+against supernatural influence, should they be called upon to face
+a reawakening of the eldritch horrors that reigned over Cauldron
+Hill during the time of the witches.\\
+The local commander of Flint land forces is Colonel Greg Mas-
+terson, while the naval defenses are overseen by Rear Admiral
+Morris Dawkins.
