The Mascyllary Army (Hesurian: Maskillisches Reichsheer, lit. 'imperial army', Hesurian pronunciation: [ˈʁaɪçsˌveːɐ̯]) is the army and branch for land warfare of the Reichswehr of Mascylla. The commander of the Army and chief of the Supreme Command of the Army is Generaloberst Ulrich Nielsen as Colonel of the Regiment of the Army, and is supervised by Generalfeldmarschall and current Chief of the General Defence Staff Wilhelm Brünar, Minister of Defence of the Realm Rüdiger Meißert and Prime Minister Thomas Falkner. As of 2020, the branch had a strength of 62,270 active soldiers and 19,600 reserve personnel, 40 aircraft, operated fifteen army bases, and maintained presence at three other military installations. Its size makes it the second-largest army within the Telmerian Union. The Mascyllary Army was founded in 1796 as part of the military of the Mascyllary Kingdom following its foundation; it has been since then the contination of the country's land military.
The Army's mission is to support the objectives of the Reichswehr and the Ministry of Defence at large: "to protect the integrity and safety of Mascylla and to promote, sustain, and support peace and security internationally." In comparison to its other branches, the Army has reportedly been rather neglected in terms of actual combat readiness and the technological sophistication of its equipment, though modernization waves as recent as 2021 have largely mitigated this issue. Though it is specifically for land-based affairs, the other branches of military also maintain land power suited for their maritime, lettoral and land environments respectively. The Army also maintains a small flotilla of aircraft for reconaissance and rescue operations.
Structure and organisation
The Mascyllary Army is de facto administered by the Mascyllary Ministry of Defence and thus its executive minister, but retains a ceremonial position under the sitting Monarch as the country's commander-in-chief of all of its armed forces which is in turn exercised by the Prime Minister as head of government. The most senior army officer is the Field Marshal of the Army (Generalfeldmarschall des Heeres, FMH) who, though ceremonial in essence and not part of the chain of command in peacetime, reports directly to the Minister of Defence, the Monarch and Prime Minister. The Colonel of the Regiment of the Army (Oberst des Heeresregiments, OHR) is the main administrative and command position within the Army, and is a member of and supported by the Supreme Command of the Army (Oberkommando des Heeres).
The Army is one of the three branches of the Reichswehr and one of the six organizational fields of the armed forces. Due to its significance within the military, it has historically continuously been the most well-equipped and largest branch. Political actions have been undertaken to strengthen its organization and equipment portfolio in light of aging hardware and operational neglect.

Locations
The Army is stationed in barracks throughout the entire country. Merely the states of Ihlarn, Pereuth, Flussmund, Königsreh and Langquaid do not host any major military facility or troop locality. The military facilities themselves, such as barracks, depots and training grounds, are however not directly commandeered by the army staff, but rather the Ministry of Defence of the Realm or the Joint Support Services of the Reichswehr. Major army installations outside Mascylla are jointly administered with the respective country's infrastructure commands of their militaries.
