The Zamastanian Army is the principal land warfare force of Zamastan, a part of Zamastanian Armed Forces. As of 2020, the Zamastanian Army comprises just over 1,260,000 trained personnel and just over 357,000 are trained reserve (part-time) personnel.

Personnel

The Zamastanian Army has been a volunteer force since national service ended during the 1960s. Since the creation of the part-time, reserve Territorial Force in 1908 (renamed the Army Reserve in 2014) the full-time Zamastanian Army has been known as the Regular Army. In January 2018 there were just over 1,260,000 trained Regulars, of which 321,000 are part of the National Guard, and 371,000 of them are Army Reservists.

Equipment

Small arms

The army employs various individual weapons to provide light firepower at short ranges. The most common weapon type used by the army is the Z4A7 carbine rifle. The primary sidearm in the Army is the 9 mm Z9 pistol. Soldiers are also equipped with various hand grenades, such as the Z67 fragmentation grenade and Z18 smoke grenade.

Vehicles

The Zamastanian Army doctrine puts a premium on mechanized warfare. It fields the highest vehicle-to-soldier ratio in the world as of 2020. The army's most common vehicle is the Zamastanian High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (ZHMMWV), commonly called the Zhumvee, which is capable of serving as a cargo/troop carrier, weapons platform and ambulance, among many other roles. The Talon-2 tank is the army's main battle tank. Other vehicles include the Zetryker Armoured Personel Vehicle and multiple types of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles.

The Army's principal artillery weapons are the Z109A6 self-propelled howitzer and the Z270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS), both mounted on tracked platforms and assigned to heavy mechanized units.

While the Zamastanian Army Aviation Branch operates a few fixed-wing aircraft, it mainly operates several types of rotary-wing aircraft. These include the TAH-60 Kingfisher attack helicopter, the TAH-60A Vulture tactical transport helicopter and the TAH-471 Egret transport helicopter.
