It is specific to those forces. However, any Lunar force should be commanded by Yanafali officers.
The regiments of a Lunar force can and should come from a variety of traditions; they are unified through the leadership powers of Yanafal Tarnils. The Lunar Army contains professional long-serving troops in its Heartland Corps, and these can have well-established regimental cults and traditions -- see the Granite Phalanx cult writeup in Tales #12 for an example. Provincial Militias and the like are more likely to be a hotch-potch of Lay Members, Seven Mothers zealots, and what-have-you. And allied troops (like the Char-Un) most likely worship their ethnic war-gods and culture-heroes, not formal "regimental cults" as such.
For much more on this, see Tales #17 for the Yanafal Tarnils cult writeup and a couple more Lunar regiments.
Humakti are rare in Lunar forces because Yanafal Tarnils largely takes his place. Humakti and Yanafali seldom mix, though they often mix it up. If you see what I mean.
