The Ankat People's Army (APA; {{wpl|Sinhalese|Terasi}}: අන්කාට්හි ජනතාවගේ හමුදාව tr; ankāṭhi janatāvagē hamudāva AJH), is the largest branch of the [[Ankat Armed Forces]] and has the primary responsibility of conducting land-based military operations. | |||
During the Ankati Revolution the APA went by the name of the Socialist Army (Terasi: සමාජවාදී හමුදාව; tr Samājavādī Hamudāva). The Socialist Army was one of the major combatants in the civil war, initially working with others before becoming powerful enough to be the largest faction alongside the Torists. At the end of the war the Armed Forces as a whole was formed, with the land component of the Socialist Army becoming the Ankat People's Army. | |||
The Ankat People's Army reported an active troop strength of around 320,000 in 2018 although due to conscription and a heavy reserve force, this number is expected to be much higher. Due to the unreported combat the military has undergone with insurgents to the north, the army has acquired extensive combat experience with conducting non-stop counter-insurgency operations with royalist or religious fanatical factions since the end of the revolution in 1974. | |||
The army has headed by the Chief of General Staff who is selected by the Commander-in-Chief, the President, at the recommendation of the cabinet. | |||

The Ankat People's Army (APA; Terasi: අන්කාට්හි ජනතාවගේ හමුදාව tr; ankāṭhi janatāvagē hamudāva AJH), is the largest branch of the Ankat Armed Forces and has the primary responsibility of conducting land-based military operations.
During the Ankati Revolution the APA went by the name of the Socialist Army (Terasi: සමාජවාදී හමුදාව; tr Samājavādī Hamudāva). The Socialist Army was one of the major combatants in the civil war, initially working with others before becoming powerful enough to be the largest faction alongside the Torists. At the end of the war the Armed Forces as a whole was formed, with the land component of the Socialist Army becoming the Ankat People's Army.
The Ankat People's Army reported an active troop strength of around 320,000 in 2018 although due to conscription and a heavy reserve force, this number is expected to be much higher. Due to the unreported combat the military has undergone with insurgents to the north, the army has acquired extensive combat experience with conducting non-stop counter-insurgency operations with royalist or religious fanatical factions since the end of the revolution in 1974.
The army has headed by the Chief of General Staff who is selected by the Commander-in-Chief, the President, at the recommendation of the cabinet.
