The Gristo-Serkonan Army (Nordic: Landforsvarsstyrker lit. 'Land Defence Forces') (Kanienʼkéha: Atëhna’dega:dëhonekwènhtara'yo:so:t lit. 'Those who bear the red banner') is a command component responsible for the operational readiness of the conventional ground forces of the Royal Gristo-Serkonan Armed Forces. As of 2020, the army is comprised of 87,342 regular soldiers and 16,900 reserve soldiers. The army is supported by 2,450 civilian employees from the civil service. It maintains regular force bases across the United Kingdom and is responsible for the Territorial Army, the largest component of the National Defence Volunteer Reserve. The commander of the Gristo-Serkonan Army and Chief of the Army Staff is Field Marshal Cristian Duarte.
The name "Gristo-Serkonan Army" came into official use during the formation of the unified armed forces of Gristol-Serkonos in 1867. During the reorganization of the Armed Forces in 1993, the army was designated as the Land Mobile Command until 2019 when it reverted to the pre-1993 title of the Gristo-Serkonan Army.
Organization
The army is divided into three divisions based on geography; 2nd Army Division is located in Gristol, the 3rd Army Division is located in Serkonos, and the 4th Army Division is located in Ohsweken. The 1st Army Division serves as a quick response division with the capabilities to command a division-level deployment of Gristo-Serkonan or allied forces on operations. Brigades are organized into either Armoured, Mechanized Infantry, Airborne, Mountain Infantry or Division Support Groups consisting of eight or nine battalions.
Below is the organization of the army in the Division level and its sub-units.
