Despite having fought a major war together, the alliance between the confederation was shaky at best. Combat performance of the Kiludan and Auland army were astounding, a little too astounding for the remaining Confederate countries. With an intention of good faith as well as a decent amount of optimism, the six countries came together to form a more solidified body that overlooked all the governments while still allowing them to maintain their autonomy. And so, with the signing of the Armistice Charter, the new organization would be christened the Armistice League, its aim was to facilitate co-operation in international law, international security, and economic development. The six claims that came from the Lion's Maw treaty would also be included into the organization.
Having established the organization, The Armistice League felt it necessary to somehow enforce laws and rules to the governing bodies. Unfortunately, this became a subject of much debate for obvious reasons. The League was in a precarious position: Kiluda and Auland wished to maintain peace and order, they required some sort of method to expedite League operations for the sake of peace; the other Confederate states wished to maintain their autonomy. They argued that having a standing police force is one step too close to an army, which would lend itself to the risk of certain abuses. With the subject left at a standstill, the issues was delayed indefinitely.
This changed when the current war broke out. Ironically, the remaining countries, feeling threatened by the possibility that the conflict would spill over into their lands, decided to move forward with proposition of the "Peace Task Force". The force would be entirely made up of an all volunteer army. These volunteers would be "donated" to the League's cause. The force would be commanded by their respective countries officers (volunteer of course), but primary orders would be provided by advisers from the League. Given the nature of the force's scope and assumed uneasiness of maintaining peace in a country near a battlefield, all countries must allow authorization before any operation can be undertaken. In addition, the expense of these operations were to be covered by the respective country, in addition to the standing funds generated from donations.
