The '''Thundering Elephant Corps''' was an expeditionary military unit sent by various governorates of [[Itayana]] to [[Charnea]] during the [[Ninvite War]]. Assembled and organized in 1986 from the forces of regional governors, it saw action in several major battles of the war. The Banner fought in several major battles of the Ninvite War, developing methods and raising cadres for future iterations of the Itayana military. Its political impact, however, is poorly understood up to this day.

The Corps was formed from the forces of governorates of the right bank of [[Karana River|Karana]] (6th, 8th, 10th, 12th) and the [[Makgato Plateau]] (29th, 30th, 31st, 32nd, 33rd, 34th, 35th and 36th). Initially, each governorate sent a battalion and either a pioneer command or an artillery battery. Following the esclation of hostilities, governors mobilized additional units, mostly to train replacements for killed or wounded soldiers. Medical services command was expanded and the centralized signal command was established for enhanched coordination of the units.
Organization of the Corps reflected changes in the overall thought as well. In 1986, the Corps followed the traditional structure of Itayana Banners, slightly modified with the experience gained in the [[Agala War]]. However, it was found to be unwieldy in motorized offensive operations and redundant in defense, so the structure was adapted by the late 1986 into a less common square structure with independent reconnaissance brigade and four triangular brigades, also called "Banners". This later strUcture persisted until the end of hostilities and dissolution of the unit; following the war, the word "Banner" was used only to denote brigades.
