Each component of the club represents an element of the Honorverse mentioned in the Honor Harrington series. The most senior component is the RMN, followed closely by the RMMC and then the RMA]. Originally, the GSN was meant to be for chapters that did not meet in person, but the advent of better and better communications systems has meant that there is very little difference between many of the components’ chapter operations, with most chapters being a mix of personnel that meet face to face as well as online. Furthermore, new components have been added since the founding of the club such as the [[Civilian Corps]], the [[Sphinx Forestry Commission|Sphinx Forestry Service]] (SFS), the [[Imperial Andermani Navy]] (IAN) and even the [[Republic of Haven Navy]] (RHN). Each component strives to maintain a discrete identity and way of doing things that attracts members to that theme. In this, the RMA is no different. | Each component of the club represents an element of the Honorverse mentioned in the Honor Harrington series.

The RMA is a component of TRMN, whose members are people from diverse backgrounds who just prefer the junior service of the Star Kingdom of Manticore (SKM) for their Honorverse fan activities. The RMA is organized along traditional military lines, in the same manner as TRMN, however RMA chapters are organized around the ground force in terms of tactical units. Unlike our navy brethren where the ship is considered to be more-or-less an autonomous organization in much the same way as they are in the Honorverse itself, RMA chapters are not units unto themselves and generally work much more closely with their higher commands. In the RMA, the [[Army_Directive_05-1203A|High Command]], which is made up of the [[Marshal of the Army]] (MotA), the Deputy Marshal of the Army, Adjutant General, Commanding Officer of the Signal Corps, Commanding Officer of the Intelligence Corps, Commanding Officer of the Logistics Corps, and [[Sergeant-Major of the Army]] (SGTMAJA) act as an executive body that both executes directives from the MotA and the RC, and also acts as coordinators and liaisons between the RMA and TRMN Bureaus. | The RMA is a component of TRMN, whose members are people from diverse backgrounds who just prefer the junior service of the Star Kingdom of Manticore (SKM) for their Honorverse fan activities.

The day to day operations of TRMN are conducted by and through TRMN’s Space Lords, which are also known as [[Bureau]]s. The Second Space Lord, also known as BuPlan or the [[Bureau of Planning]], coordinates materials and assistance for chapter convention participation, ensuring that every chapter represents TRMN to a certain standard. The Third Space Lord, also known as BuShips or the [[Bureau of Ships]], is responsible for approving new chapters. The Fourth Space Lord, or BuComm (the [[Bureau of Communications]]), is responsible for coordinating for and/or approving artwork used throughout the club, development of manuals, database development, the [http://news.trmn.org RMN Newsletter] and [http://www.trmn.org TRMN Web Sites]. The Fifth Space Lord, also known as BuPers (the [[Bureau of Personnel]]), is charged with maintaining the membership database as well as processing and renewing memberships. The Sixth Space Lord (BuTrain/[[Bureau of Training]]) is the regulating and coordinating agency charged with the education and training of the membership and is the force behind the many academies within TRMN. Finally, the Seventh Space Lord (BuSup/[[Bureau of Supply]]) is the quartermaster and supply section which works to provide sources for uniform items and [https://store.trmn.org TRMN-related paraphernalia] to assist the membership in role playing within the Honorverse. | The day to day operations of TRMN are conducted by and through TRMN’s Space Lords, which are also known as [[Bureau]]s.

''It should be noted that, despite the equipment and training, the Royal Manticoran Army has never in its history been called upon to fulfill its primary mission. Any force that holds undisputed control of the high orbitals can force a surrender or defeat even a superior enemy ground force without risking its own units with few exceptions. For those exceptions, the Star Kingdom has built an Army capable of sustained planetary combat, but the capability has not been needed to date. Instead, the Army has been tasked with peacekeeping and garrison duties on over a dozen captured Havenite worlds. Often the first Manticoran any of their population met in person was a member of the Army, and its training as peacekeeping and local police forces has served them well in that role.''<br> | ''It should be noted that, despite the equipment and training, the Royal Manticoran Army has never in its history been called upon to fulfill its primary mission.
