History
The BDMC was established on 28 September, 2008. The ruling monarch of Blancos Dos, KingRich, and his trusted advisers met early that day to outline goals and directions for the creation of the standing military force that would become the BDMC. Existing regional forces were reorganized into their current Combat Elements.
