The Free Gassasinian Army was a nominally-independent army representing the Gassasinian Federal Republic in exile under the control of the Alliance during the Great War. Made up primarily of Gassasinian migrants who had left the country looking for a better life, and political exiles who had been forced to leave their home country due to their support of left-wing anti-colonial movements, the Free Gassasinian Army was motivated primarily by a strong sense of disgust towards the subjugation of their homeland and other Thrismari nations by the imperial powers of Thrismari, and had volunteered to fight under the armies of the Alliance against the various imperialist powers which made up the Iron Pact.
The most notable and largest units of the Free Gassasinian Army were the 138th "Sand Foxes" Light Cavalry Brigade and the , which were subordinated under Kentalian Army command. Both regiments took part in the Požanovan Fronts and Kentalian battles with Krenyan forces during the Great War.
Owing to their largely leftist origins, the Free Gassasinian Army used socialist symbolism to represent their armies. The march of the Free Gassasinian Army, the Worker's Marseillaise would eventually come to be known as the party anthem of the Gassasinian Labour Party.
