The Commonwealth Army is the terrestrial arm of the Arthurista's military.
Arthurista has a relatively small standing army at 118,000 personnel. However, service in the Arthuristan Territorial Reserves Command remains compulsory for all Arthuristan citizens. In times of war, large numbers of reservists may be called-up to serve in two army corps which, in peacetime, are maintained at cadre strength.
In addition to its main order of battle, the Commonwealth Army's training command has two special 'Opposing Force' units - the 33rd Guards Motor Rifle Regiment and the 5th Airlanding Regiment, which simulate the 'archetypical' heavy combined arms and airborne formation from the largest hostile powers.
