Structure

Main article: Vilerian Army Structure
The Imperial Army of Vileria possesses a very complex organisation. In terms of Article 301 al.2b of the Code of Defence, the Army is comprised of:

• The Imperial Army Chief of Staff (Chef de l'État-Major Impérial des Armées (CEMIA)).
• The Imperial Army Staff (État-Major Impérial des Armées (EMIA)), which gives general direction and management of all the components;
• The Imperial Army Inspectorate (Office de l'Inspection de l'Armée Impériale (OIAI));
• The Imperial Army Human Resources Department (Département des Ressources Humaines de l'Armée Impériale (DRHAI));
• The Territorial Organisation (see Territorial Organization)
• The personnel training and military higher training organisms.

The Imperial Army was reorganized in 2010. The new organisation consists of 3 Combined Corps and given 2 Combat Brigades to supervise each. The 7th Airmobile Brigade was reformed to direct the three combat helicopter regiments. There are also several Division-level (Niveau Divisionnaire/Livello Divisionale) specialized commands including Intelligence, Information and communication systems, Maintenance, Logistics, Special Forces, Army Light Aviation, National Territory, Training.

Military Regions

Main article: Vilerian Military Districts
Originally, the first military districts were known as the Military Administrations (MAs) during the Old Regime, back in 1761 there were 5 MAs, incompacing current Kingdom of Scelsaux, Florence and Kingdom of Viresia. Those were: North, Central, South-Central, East and West. Then further in 1850 into 13 as most of current day Kingdom of Etyria was conquered.
By 1912, after the Vilerian Revolution and the First Vilerian Civil War, the new military had yet to be reorganized and they transformed the 13 districts into 37, then got reduced to 31 in 1920 and furthermore to 25 in 1927, just before the Second Vilerian Civil War.
During the Military Government of the Second Republic, it changed 3 times in less than a year, passing from 26 to 28 and then finally to 30. After the fall of the State of Vileria, the Second Republic was officially proclamed and the army was basically destroyed. It took 3 years to establish new districts, at first they were only 3: North, Central and South, then evolved into 5: South, Central, Gulf, Tmetama and North. It stayed like this until 1951 with the new Federation where they added a new district called East Vileria, from invaded lands 5 years prior.
On the 17th of October 2010, after the Reform Army XXI-X, the Vilerian Government decided to reorganize the Military Districts, passing from 23 to only 8, one for each Kingdom and one for Senjer (Except modification in 2011 to move the Duchy of Valais from Central-Western to North-Western Military District for simplification).
