The '''Aquitaynian Army''' represents the land forces of the [[Aquitaynian Armed Services|Armed Forces of Aquitayne]], formed from various militia groups by [[Parliament of Aquitayne|Parliament]] in 1741, during the [[Aquitaynian War of Independence]]. The formation of these forces solidified Aquitaynian resolve to endure through the conflict and remains one of the oldest fighting forces in [[Astyria]].

Currently, the Aquitaynian Army is currently engaged in operations on [[Insula Fera]], notably the [[2013 Invasion of Pangus]] and the [[Greater Conflict on Insula Fera]]. The Army is also assisting the nation of [[Aswick]] in combat operations during the [[Aswickan Civil War]].

The Aquitaynian Army encapsulates the spectrum of soldiers that engage in combat operations on the ground. Uniquely, the Aquitaynian Marine Forces, often a separate branch around the world, falls under the jurisdiction of the Army. The Army is also the lead branch when it comes to Aquitaynian Special Forces.

==Mission==
The Aquitaynian Army serve as the only federally recognized contingent of the professional defense for Aquitaynian territories and property. The current constitution constitutes the Army's mission as:

*Preserving the peace and security of Aquitaynian territory and its people as far as deemed necessary by His Majesty.
*Supporting the national policies of His Majesty.
*Enforcing the national interests of Aquitayne and its allies.
*Engaging in the active defense of Aquitayne and its allies.
