The '''Imperial Army of Temuair''' (Aisling: ''Exército Imperial de Temuair'') is the terrestrial branch of the [[Armed Forces of the Temuair Empire]] and is largest of the three uniformed services, having been established officially in 1820 following the [[Temuair#Reformation|Reformation]] and the subsequent disbanding of the Royal Aisling Armed Forces. Many of the officers and personal transitioned to the new Imperial Army. 
The '''Aisling Army''' (Aisling: ''Arm Toirt'') is the terrestrial branch of the [[Aisling Defense Force]] and is largest of the three uniformed services. Service in the Imperial Army, as with the other uniformed services, is strictly voluntary, as {{wpl|conscription}} is illegal under the Articles of Governance. Completion of a term of service in the Aisling Army qualifies an Aisling for {{wpl|citizenship}}, conferring upon them the privilege of {{wpl|suffrage}} and the right to campaign for and hold public office.  
 
The Imperial Army is by far the oldest of the three uniformed branches of the [[Armed Forces of the Temuair Empire]], having been in existence since the reign of [[List of Aisling Monarchs|King Marcelin V]] which began in 1489. The primary mission of the Imperial Army is to "conduct ground-based warfare in defense of the Empire, its citizens, and subject, both at home and overseas." This includes the protection of peninsular Temuair, the [[Esparelle Islands|Esparelle]] and [[Pinelo Islands]] on the nations western coast, and the nations overseas territory including [[Leónidade]], [[Terrica]], [[Afastado]], [[Esperamos Illa]] and [[Illa de Descanso]].

==History==
==History==
When [[List of Aisling Monarchs|King Marcelin V]], at the time the King of Rivilla, married Queen Rios I of Beriso, this made him the titular head of all of Temuair save the southern parts of the nation that are modernly made up of Rucesion, Ebora and Ira. In 1490, Marcelin V demanded that Queen Santizo IV of Rucesion submit to his authority and unite all of Temuair. She refused.
In those times, it was required and expected that every {{wpl|Barony (county division)|barony}} within the realm be able to field and equip at least one  {{wpl|tercio}} upon the king's request. Marcelin V called upon the baronies of his realm, including Mileth, Morados, Vinduis, and Orzola, as well as those of his wife's holdings, which included all of the baronies east of Pravat, to create an army he dubbed the Imperial Army to crush what he viewed as the Rucesion resistance. Soumi was already a vassal of Marcelin V's holdings, having been conquered in 1475 by his father and administered by his nephew, Prince Tenorio. Though an alliance of intermarriage, Marcelin V was also able to ensure the King of Pravat would not assist Santizo IV in defeating him.
In total, Marcelin V raised approximately 75,000 troops, a total of 25 tercios to defeat the Rucesions. During the war, the Imperial Army transformed its organization and tactics, evolving from a primarily {{wpl|Pike (weapon)|pike}} and {{wpl|Halberd|halberd}} wielding force into the first pike and shot formation of {{wpl|Arquebus|arquebusiers}} and pikemen, known as the columella. Following the defeat of the Rucesion force and the conquest of Rucesion, Marcelin V became king of all Temuair by either conquest or marriage. In the past, the tercios would have been disbanded and returned to their baronies. Marcelin V, instead, insisted that each solider in the formation declare loyalty to the King of Temuair first, and the Baron second, and then sent them home to respective baronies to act as a standing military force. Marcelin V wanted to preserve the combat skills developed during the campaign against Rucesion, and ensure that veterans were retained with the units, thereby passing their skills onto new recruits. This created the first standing army of Temuair. Many of the modern brigades in the Imperial Army can trace their lineage back to these 25 original tercios. 
During the 16th century, following a series of minor conflicts with [[Notreceau]], this formation of the tercio evolved. The new formation and battle tactics were developed because of Spain's inability to field sufficient cavalry forces to face the heavy French cavalry. The tercios were the first to efficiently mix pikes and firearms. Tercio companies dominated battlefields in the sixteenth century and the first half of the 17th century and are seen by historians as a major development of early modern combined arms warfare. The name Tercio was retained through the 16th century, but as the Tercio formation evolved on the battlefield to meet the challenges of more modern firearms and field artillery, they organization changed as well. By the end of the 17th century, Tercios had adopted so much of a linear style organisation and tactics as to have little resemblance to the classic tercios of the previous century. In 1701, [[List of Aisling Monarchs|King Padin VII]] ordered that the Aisling tercios be transformed into brigades. 
The first modern military school in Temuair was established in 1708, the [[Ceannlaidir Martial Academy]] in Ira. It is a four-year academy which modernly hosts a total of forty-five academic majors, the most popular of which are foreign languages, management information systems, history, economics, and mechanical engineering. Uniquely to other schools, all cadets are required to reside on campus and dine together on weekdays for breakfast and lunch. It is believed this will allow the students to building comradery and transfer that same quality into the units they are ultimately assigned to.
Through most of the 18th century, the Imperial Army suffered from lack of funds and ill-training, mostly owing to a belief that the gulf between Temuair and [[Tarsas]] and the [[Vi Castis Mountains]] between Temuair and [[Notreceau]], a land war on Aisling soil was unlikely. Individual units often fought well, but did so with outdated equipment and tactics. Elite units of infantry, sometimes foreign hired mercenaries, as well as artillery and engineer units, existed and were generally used to forestall any serious attempt by Notreceau to cross the Vi Castis or used in the territories overseas to keep control over local populations. Perhaps most dangerously, the fighting spirit that Marcelin V had wanted to instill into the Army had slackened, as many officers were appointed to positions based on royal patronage as opposed to martial ability.
During the [[Peninsular War]], the [[Notreceau|Notreceauen]] ''Grande Armée'' managed to force a crossing over the Vi Castis Mountains and soundly defeated the Imperial Army at the Battle of Mheadhain. Despite this auspicious start, the ''Grande Armée'' did not follow up on its victory as quickly as it could have to consolidate power on the Aisling side of the Vi Castis' and suffered a series of minor, but humiliating defeats, at the hands of the Imperial Army. More importantly, however, were the actions peasants and other civilians who engaged the [[Notreceau|Notreceauen]] forces in a protracted insurgency.

'''Rifle Squad''': The {{wpl|squad}} is the smallest form of organized formations in the Imperial Army, as {{Wpl|Fireteam|fire and maneuver teams}} are formed on an ad hoc basis. A typical rifle squad is commanded by a ''Cabo'', though a ''Sarxento'' may also command a squad. The general composition of a rifle squad is 8 men, one of whom are armed with the {{wpl|CETME Ameli|AL-83}} {{Wpl|Squad automatic weapon|light support weapon}} or an [[AU-71|AU-71L]] {{wpl|general-purpose machine gun}} in the light configuration. A single solider is equipped with an {{wpl|M79 Osa|lanzacohetes-90}} shoulder-launched rocket weapon, and a [[P-11]] handgun, and has a dedicated assistant gunner who carries 5 to 6 rockets in addition to his rifle. One solider is equipped with a [[IRA-90|IRA-90TE]] {{Wpl|designated marksman rifle}}, with the remaining 4 riflemen armed with the [[IRA-90|IRA-90M]] [[6.45x48 mm (Pardes)|6.45x48 mm]] assault rifles, as well as {{wpl|Instalaza rifle grenade|GDR-60}} rifle grenades. Generally, several of these riflemen will be in possession of a {{wpl|C90-CR (M3)|IPAT-90}} 90 mm or [[IPAT-100]] 100 mm disposable rocket launcher.
The Aisling Defense Corps separates infantry formations into three categories; light, medium and heavy.  
 
'''Weapons Squad''': A weapons squad is a grouping of soldiers into a formation that specializes with a particular weapon. There are three kinds of weapons squads.
*'''Heavy Weapons Squad''': A squad armed with a {{wpl|Grenade Launcher#Automatic|automatic grenade launcher}} or a {{wpl|machine gun}} squad consisting of 8 men usually led by a ''Cabo''. The machine gun squad consists of 2 four man machine gun teams armed with an [[AU-71|AU-71P]] gerneral purpos machine gun, whereas a grenade machine gun team is equipped with an {{wpl|SB LAG 40|LGA-40}} automatic grenade launchers. Each weapon has a crew of four, consisting of the gunner, commander/loader, and two ammo bearers/riflemen.
 
*'''Anti-tank squad''': The anti-tank squad consists of 6 men usually led by a ''Cabo''. They are equipped with heavier {{wpl|Anti-tank missile|guided anti-tank missiles}}, such as the {{Wpl|Mathogo|Areiva Mathogo}} or the newer {{Wpl|MSS-1.2|Pico}}. Assistant gunners are equipped with assault rifles, while missile crews tend to be equipped with pistols, or in some cases, either a {{wpl|submachine gun}}, such as the [[M-13]] or rifle carbine, such as the [[IRA-90|IRA-90C]].
 
'''Section''':  A section is a a paring of a rifle squids with a weapons squads. Generally, one of each type of squad will be pared, creating a platoon of three rifle squads, machine gun, ATGM, and air defense weapons squad.  


'''Platoon''': A section is led by a ''Tenente'' or ''Señor Tenent'' and his assistant, usually a ''Sarxento Mestre''. A Platoon is three rifle squads paired with three weapons squads, usually one of each type.  
A light infantry include units intended for special application or operation missions, such as {{wpl|Special operations|special forces}} and {{wpl|Mountain warfare|mountain warfare}} units. They may have no motorized transport or may utilize light utility vehicles or trucks.  


'''Company''': A company is led by a ''Capitan'' and his assistant, usually a ''Sarxento Xef''. In addition, a single battery equipped with M-82 mm mortar or AM-82 automatic mortar. A company also has an attached a mortar squad usually equipped with an M-82/80 82 mm mortar, a second ATGM team, and air defense squad of 8 men led by a ''Capo'', an air defense squad is equipped with {{Wpl|Man-portable air-defense systems|man portable surface to air missile launchers}}.
Medium and heavy infantry formations are both considered {{wpl|mechanized infantry}} formations with medium infantry formations generally utilizing wheeled or tracked {{Wpl|armoured personnel carrier}}s whereas heavy infantry formations are transported in wheeled or tracked {{wpl|infantry fighting vehicle}}s.  


'''Battalion''': A battalion is commanded by a ''Teniente Coronel'' or sometimes by a ''Comandante''. It can also be commanded by a full ''Coronel''. It is the first formation to see extensive subordinate attached to it, as well as the first to have staff positions, generally occupied by a ''Comandante'' and its size can vary depending on its mission. Staff positions include
A basic infantry squad, regardless of its classification, consists of seven infantrymen and is generally led by a [[Aisling Army#Enlisted and non-commissioned|Sáirsint]]. The squad is broken into two three-person fireteams, with the first team being led by the squads second in command, usually a [[Aisling Army#Enlisted and non-commissioned|Ceannaire]].  The first team, under the command of the Ceannaire and often refereed to as ''Alfa'', consists of a grenadier, usually equipped with a {{Wpl|Brügger & Thomet GL06|TGD-2}} standalone {{wpl|grenade launcher}}, although with the adoption of the [[Common Service Weapon|RD-05]], the grenadier may instead be equipped with standard rifle and underbarrel grenade launcher. Also included in the ''Alfa'' team is a soldier equipped with a {{wpl|light machine gun}}, such as the [[GMD-3|GMD-03É]]. The second team, refereed to as ''Béite'' team, includes a second light machine gun operator, a rifleman and a {{wpl|designated marksman}}. All members of the infantry squad are issued a {{Wpl|Sidearm (weapon)|sidearm}}, with the issued pistol being the {{wpl|Steyr M|PD-03}} pistol in {{wpl|9×19mm Parabellum|9x19 mm}}. Aisling soldiers have the option to carry privately purchased sidearms as well, but are responsible for supplying non-standard ammunitions types. In addition, all members of the squad are equipped with {{Wpl|Sight (device)|firearms optics}}, generally a standard {{Wpl|Red dot sight|red dot sight}}, with the squads marksman and second in command being issued a magnifying optic. In addition, there are two <some kind of light AT weapon> available to the squad which are considered supplemental to the heavier antitank weapons in the support section.

Other support units, including additional weapons teams, reconnaissance companies, and/or logistical units may also be attached as needed.  
===Composition===
{{main|Compsition of the Aisling Army}}
The Aisling Army is comprised of 6 infantry brigades, all of which are considered to be {{wpl|mechanized infantry}} and classified as "medieum" or "heavy" infantry depending on the vehicle in which they are deployed and the brigade in which they serve. The units of Army Forces Command are supported by formations of the Army Support command, which provide logistical, reconnaissance, signals and aviation support to deployed forces, as well as additional fire support in the form of artillery regiments.  


'''Brigade''': A brigade is commanded by a ''Capitán Xeneral'', and his NCO assistant, generally a ''Sarxento Mestre Xefe''. It is comprised of three battalions plus support units and staff. This is the most common deployable ground formation within the Imperial Army, and is designed to be self-sustaining in combat. Brigades are assigned to military district commands when not grouped into divisions, which is effective a corps level command.
As to the 2020 Aisling Defense Force Realignment Act, all light infantry formations have either been eliminated or reclassified as {{wpl|Special operations|special operations capable}} forces, placing them under the direction of the [[Aisling Special Forces Command|Army Special Forces Command]]


'''Division''': A formation of three brigades, The largest standing formation within the Imperial Army. A division is commanded by a ''Capitán Xeneral'', and is also an NCO in charge, generally a ''Mando Sarxento''.

The Aisling Army (Aisling: Arm Toirt) is the terrestrial branch of the Aisling Defense Force and is largest of the three uniformed services. Service in the Imperial Army, as with the other uniformed services, is strictly voluntary, as conscription is illegal under the Articles of Governance. Completion of a term of service in the Aisling Army qualifies an Aisling for citizenship, conferring upon them the privilege of suffrage and the right to campaign for and hold public office.

The Aisling Defense Corps separates infantry formations into three categories; light, medium and heavy.

A light infantry include units intended for special application or operation missions, such as special forces and mountain warfare units. They may have no motorized transport or may utilize light utility vehicles or trucks.

Medium and heavy infantry formations are both considered mechanized infantry formations with medium infantry formations generally utilizing wheeled or tracked armoured personnel carriers whereas heavy infantry formations are transported in wheeled or tracked infantry fighting vehicles.

A basic infantry squad, regardless of its classification, consists of seven infantrymen and is generally led by a Sáirsint. The squad is broken into two three-person fireteams, with the first team being led by the squads second in command, usually a Ceannaire.  The first team, under the command of the Ceannaire and often refereed to as Alfa, consists of a grenadier, usually equipped with a TGD-2 standalone grenade launcher, although with the adoption of the RD-05, the grenadier may instead be equipped with standard rifle and underbarrel grenade launcher. Also included in the Alfa team is a soldier equipped with a light machine gun, such as the GMD-03É. The second team, refereed to as Béite team, includes a second light machine gun operator, a rifleman and a designated marksman. All members of the infantry squad are issued a sidearm, with the issued pistol being the PD-03 pistol in 9x19 mm. Aisling soldiers have the option to carry privately purchased sidearms as well, but are responsible for supplying non-standard ammunitions types. In addition, all members of the squad are equipped with firearms optics, generally a standard red dot sight, with the squads marksman and second in command being issued a magnifying optic. In addition, there are two <some kind of light AT weapon> available to the squad which are considered supplemental to the heavier antitank weapons in the support section.

Composition

Main article: Compsition of the Aisling Army

The Aisling Army is comprised of 6 infantry brigades, all of which are considered to be mechanized infantry and classified as "medieum" or "heavy" infantry depending on the vehicle in which they are deployed and the brigade in which they serve. The units of Army Forces Command are supported by formations of the Army Support command, which provide logistical, reconnaissance, signals and aviation support to deployed forces, as well as additional fire support in the form of artillery regiments.

As to the 2020 Aisling Defense Force Realignment Act, all light infantry formations have either been eliminated or reclassified as special operations capable forces, placing them under the direction of the Army Special Forces Command
