The '''Chamal people''', also known as the '''Kel Shaddijat''', are [[Charnea|Charneans]] of full or partial [[Mutul|Mutulese]] heritage. They are considered a regional subset of the ''Metis'' who encompass all mixed-race peoples of Mutulese origin. Chamals are a small demographic within Charnea, numbering 297,000 and making up no more than 1.1% of the Charnean population. However, they have played an outsized role in Charnean cultural affairs and have an unusually high degree of political representation in the national government.

The '''Charnean Army''' ({{wp|Tamashek}}: ⵉⵖⵔⵓⴷⴰⵏ ⵞⴰⵔⵏⴰⵏ ⴰⵊⵁⴰⵏⴰⵏ, ''Iɤrudan Charnan Ajhanan'', '''ICA''') is the combined military force of the [[Charnea|Charnean]] state comprising both {{wp|Land warfare|ground-based}} and {{wp|Aerial warfare|aerial}} armed forces. Chief of State [[Khyar Aziouel]] serves as the formal commander-in-chief of the ICA, while its day to day operations are overseen by Chief of the General Staff [[Rezkou Goma]]. The current structure of the ICA is the result of a series of sweeping military reforms that took place following the death of its former supreme commander [[Martuf Lamine]] in May of 2023 and the ensuing political turmoil which took place within the Army and the broader state defense apparatus. Reforms included a reorganization of the ICA {{wp|general staff}} and high command from the ground up, a significant reduction of the officer corps and a consolidation of forces into more centralized command and logistics structures. The reformed ICA has a three-pronged structure for its combat arms, made up of the Central Army which comprises the maneuver warfare elements of the Army, the Ranger Corps which encompasses its special forces and asymmetric warfare capabilities, and the Air Corps which acts as the air wing of the ICA. Recent reforms within the civilian government saw a push to disband many of the civilian law enforcement organs which had operated in most parts of Charnea for decades, replacing them with a fourth branch of the Army to be known as the ''Allon Arraxmat Ajhan'' or [[Public Safety Force (Charnea)|Public Safety Force]] which is to double as a reservist force for the rest of the military to draw upon in times of crisis. The recently reconstituted General Staff, the newly established AAA, and many other organs of the ICA are expected to suffer in the short and mid-term thanks to inexperienced officers and the disorganization which follows blanket military and police reforms. Nevertheless, national leaders remain confident that the ICA's strength, which they believe lies with its experienced non-commissioned officers, has been kept intact despite the reorganization.
 
==Defense doctrine==
As a desert nation entirely engulfed within the expanse of the [[Ninva]], Charnea's production and population statistics face ever-present downward pressures due to the inter-related bottlenecks of water scarcity and insufficient production of foodstuffs which impose an upper limit on the size of the population and industrial base the Charnean economy can support. Although a savvy development scheme has proven capable of extending Charnea's limits, the persistent economic constraints the nation faces have made it unfeasible for it to raise the massive military force that would be necessary to actively patrol and defend the 12,000 kilometers of external frontiers against Charnea's many neighbors. However, the landscape of Charnea forces the population and the national industry to concentrate in six relatively compact regions scattered across the country, interlinked by the [[Xallalbatan|Great Backbone]] railway. Defending these six urban-industrial zones separated by hundreds of kilometers of desert is a challenging proposition but one that is more manageable than defending the entire ''de jure'' territory of Charnea. The Charnean national defense state has been built around a strategy of {{wp|Defence in depth|deep defense}}, prioritizing the capacity to delay the enemy, inflict casualties and threaten enemy logistics over holding ground or carrying out {{wp|Breakthrough (military)|breakthrough}} operations.
 
The modern Charnean Army, however, is first and foremost a counter-insurgency force. Drawing from the lessons of the [[Agala War|Agala]] and [[Ninvite War|Ninvite Wars]], the defense state has recognized that the threat to Charnean national integrity does not necessarily take the form of the conventional military force of a rival nation but rather the capacity of neighboring states to influence the minority groups which inhabit the Charnean periphery.

The Chamal people, also known as the Kel Shaddijat, are Charneans of full or partial Mutulese heritage. They are considered a regional subset of the Metis who encompass all mixed-race peoples of Mutulese origin. Chamals are a small demographic within Charnea, numbering 297,000 and making up no more than 1.1% of the Charnean population. However, they have played an outsized role in Charnean cultural affairs and have an unusually high degree of political representation in the national government.
