Overview
Red Eagle Army was a clan founded by RekliSnipes sometime around the foundation of the original LittleBigPlanet Union. The organization was known for allegedly being one of the largest clans in the LBP community and for having a reputation of victory in many conflicts.
History
Early History
Red Eagle Army [REA] was founded by KING_CADZ in 2008. The first recruit of the clan, RekliSnipes, became the second in command for the REA. King and Rekli quickly established the organization with a militaristic doctrine that had little sight for peaceful solutions. Having several talented creators at the time, it prided itself on incredibly advanced robotics and mechanized vehicles at the time, The exact details of its conflicts during the pre-Shadow Epoch period are unknown. The LittleBigPlanet Union under President Godman2k7's leadership at the time reached out to the Red Eagle Army in the hopes that they would join the Union's alliance. KING_CADZ refused because he felt that the Union would attempt to control the REA's activities.
In 2010, KING_CADZ stepped down as leader and placed RekliSnipes in charge while Cadz worked behind the scenes. RekliSnipes led REA for the remainder of its existence.
Shadow Epoch
Sometime after the Union Schism, Red Eagle Army member AMKA-IRONHIDE defected from the group and formed an organization known as the Anti-Red Eagle Army [AREA]. AREA quickly became known and had various talented creators within its sphere of influence. It is believed that REA and AREA fought for some time during the Shadow Epoch. Red Eagle Army did not look upon AREA as a very large threat. AREA also looked to establish itself by fighting with other groups such as the Commando Recon Operations. AREA eventually collapsed for unknown reasons.
Red Eagle Army eventually collapsed over time due to spreading itself thin on other platforms and games, and interest soon was lost from the clan, dividing it. An exact date for when this process was completed is unknown.
Demographics

Government

Foreign Relations and Military

Culture and Style
Technology
Red Eagle Army managed to nearly perfect bipedal locomotion in LBP1 which was no small feat. This technological advantage outpaced even the Red Skull Republic's bipedal technology at the time, however it is not known for certain if they cooperated or were allies at any point. It is not known if the REA had the same player tracking technology as the RSR, which was another huge development at the time.
Style
REA utilized a black and red color scheme to complement its jingoistic and militaristic style.
Infrastructure
Recruitment
Red Eagle Army recruited members en masse via various recruiting methods. Their most notable recruiting method was to have as many members create recruitment levels as possible, regardless of quality. However, members were rewarded for higher quality levels. Motivated recruits brought in new recruits, and thus the group's growth snowballed. Large conflicts also brought further attention to the REA, and their large influence allowed them to not only out-voice foes, but they benefited from the public attention brought to them from such conflicts with more recruitment.
