I'm curious if this is one of those faults of Warband that Floris has no control over, a bug or an exploit.
I joined a Nord army and made it to Huscarl in about 1 real-time hour. I quit and noticed I lost all my equipment. Since it was far better than what I had, here's what I did:
I then performed the same routine with Vaegir (Marksman) and Swadia (Knight) to rank up and get gear for my companions that are archers and cavalry.

I joined a Nord army and made it to Huscarl in about 1 real-time hour. I quit and noticed I lost all my equipment. Since it was far better than what I had, here's what I did:
- Join the army
- Rank up to Huscarl
- Ask for temporary leave
- At this point I sat still on the world map so my former commander would be easy to find
- Open the party window and select any companion
- Place all my Huscarl gear in their inventory
- Rejoin the army
- Tell my commander I want to resign

- Open the previous companion's inventory and take all my Huscarl gear
- Repeat as desired
I then performed the same routine with Vaegir (Marksman) and Swadia (Knight) to rank up and get gear for my companions that are archers and cavalry.
So not only did I get to keep the gear without taking the penalty from deserting but I got:
- Good gear for my low-level companions
- Weekly pay from my commander
- Lots of XP, weapon proficiencies, etc.
- About 50k in denar from selling post-battle loot
