The Anikatian Ground Force are the land forces of the Anikatian National Defence Forces, formed from parts of the collapsing Anikatian People's Army in 2001. The formation of these forces posed economic challenges after the collapse of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Anikatia, and required reforms to professionalise the force during the transition.

History

Establishment of the Anikatian Army and fate of the Belfrasian Army with the decline of the Belfrasian empire, the administration of the Colonial Armed Forces was passed to the newly created Anikatian Army on August 14, 1951.

Anikatian People's Army

After change in government the new people's army was established. This led to a great boost in spending and development of the army.

Modern Anikatian Ground Force

The dissolution of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Anikatia led to a severe decline in the Anikatian Army. Defense expenditures were severely reduced. Much of the equipment and vehicles were scrapped or put into reserve storage at bases, and many new procurement program were essentially stopped or scrapped. Since 2010 President Niklas Bykov has made it a priority to modernise and updated the armed forces.
