The Romaian Army (Greek: Ρωμαϊκός Στράτος) is the land-based component of the Romaian Armed Forces. The army's history dates back to the Army of Kingdom of Romaia. Its best-known combat vehicles are the Ares infantry fighting vehicle and the Heracles 2 tank. The headquarters of the Army General Staff are located in Constantinoupoli. The army is an all-volunteer force of active-duty personnel.
History
The Romaian Army dates from the proclamation of the Kingdom of Romaia in 1805.
Eulabian Wars
The Great war
Recent history
In 2008 the Structure reform has begun, all the divisions were abolished and the regiments formed into brigades that are subordinated directly to Army Corps. By 2016, the Brigade Modernization project was completed and its headquarters, the Brigade Modernization Command, was renamed the Joint Modernization Command, or JMC. The Modern army deployment doctrine is concentrated around Brigade Combat teams and combined operations.
After the reform the brigades are subdivided into 3 main types: armoured brigades on Heracles 2 main battle tanks and ARES tracked IFVs, high-mobility mechanised brigades on ATOM wheeled IFVs and light infantry brigades on Panthira and Rhino-S MRAPs.
