Born from the fires of revolution, the Union Army is the oldest, largest, and most diversified branch within the Union Defense Forces. In many ways the Union Army is a microcosm of the rest of the military, with their own rocket troops, air defense troops, aircraft, and paratroopers. Originally a loose grouping of patriotic rebels resisting tyranny, the army has grown exponentially in terms of size and power since it's foundation in 1919. The mission of the Army is the defense of Florence's people and territory on the land and air. To fulfill this mission the army maintains extensive garrisons, deploys a wide range of weapons and vehicles, and makes a great use of specialized troops.

Structure

The Union Army can be broken down into four autonomous administrative components—the Army Ground Forces (AGF), Army Rear Forces (ARF), Union Army Air Forces (UAAF), and the Air-Descent Forces (ADF). The Army Ground Forces is responsible for the procurement, training, mobilization, and provision of land combat units. Provides the Union Army with "well led, disciplined, trained, and motivated" forces to the strategic directions in order to maintain for the defense of the Florencian Union at home and abroad. The rear forces of the army furnish logistical, technical, and what other special troops do not fit under the other three autonomous components. The Army Rear Forces are a vital link between the nation's economy and the army, as well as an essential service for supplying the needed material, construction, specialists, support and other duties needed for the Union Army to operate efficiently.
