Ordenanças

por_ordenancas

The Ordenanças reform of King Sebastian organizes every Portuguese township into companies of armed citizens led by elected Capitães-mores, drilled monthly and obliged to muster for any royal proclamation of arms. The Filipine reforms standardize equipment, fortify the muster rolls, and require every male between sixteen and sixty to enroll in his parish company. A universal militia system keeps a permanent reserve of trained manpower that can be mobilized for colonial campaigns or domestic defense without the cost of a standing army.
