	At the time of {{J}}, the impression is given that the Regiments are moribund, perhaps consisting at most of a handful of experienced NCO's about whom a new Regiment may be assembled and trained quickly in time of need. It is also known that there is an officers' training school in the Sto states that educates young ensigns and lieutenants for military service, in the manner of West Point, St Cyr or Sandhurst. So a new Regiment may be raised and trained reasonably quickly - there being no apparent shortage of sergeants and junior officers. However, from context in {{MR}}, Vetinari appears to accept the value of having some sort of permanent Army about the place, as in the short gap between the two books, it does not seem likely that Lord Rust's regiments were disbanded after the Leshp emergency only to be called up again for service in Borogravia (where, very carefully, Vetinari puts [[Samuel Vimes\|another city noble]] in overall charge of the expedition.) This, in fact, may be Vetinari's insurance policy against another military coup d'etat: to allow the old nobles to raise permanent Regiments (thus draining their financial resources and leaving them less to do other things with). Posting them elsewhere with their energies occupied on active service which is actually beneficial to the City and pursuing Vetinari's foreign policy goals - but in a way that does not cost Vetinari or the City a penny - would seem to be in keeping with his character.
