The Imperial Army of TECT or Imperial Army (IA), is the branch of the TECT Armed Forces that is responsible for land based military operations and is one of the oldest military forces in The Empire of Common Territories. The Imperial Army has a long and proud history in serving the Empire throughout history since its conception in 1,500BCE; it first served as the Grand Army of both Maximus Forelis and Antony Forelis and would later become the nation's army. Today with 9,000,000 in service, the IA is as elite as it is large of a military branch; today's Imperial Army focuses on hard work ethics, responsibility, elitism, training, and knowledge.
The Imperial Army is tasked with fighting the Empire's enemies and defending its territory on land as well as being a workhorse for the military. The IA provides the majority of the military's ground forces for military operations; it also provides aid to other branches and construction of most military facilities for other branches in the military. The Imperial Army is home to many branches that are organized at a Divisional level, including 'Armored', 'Engineers', 'Infantry', 'Artillery', and various others. Today; the Imperial Army is still a formidable military force with a large and state-of-the-art service force and is a very valuable member of the TECT Armed Forces.
Organization
The Imperial Army, like other military branches, utilize the Division structure; this unit is comprised usually of ten to fifteen thousand men. Only during special circumstances - like during war - can military units be organized under larger or even smaller structures (Corps. and Regiments for example. A Major General is usually the commanding officer of any Division while Colonels make up secondary commanders, Regimental commanders, and sometimes vice-commanders. As of 2015, the TECT Imperial Army has a diverse array of Divisions in its forces - the vast majority of them, however, are Armored, Mechanized, and Airborne. Infantry used to be the mainstay of IA forces until the importance of armored and mechanized forces became clear during the 20th century; as of now there are few Infantry Divisions, all of which focus primarily on difficult terrain/mountain warfare.
Each Division focuses on a certain mission set or equipment center point. Armored, for example, focuses on anti-armor with a general mix of anti-everything else using more armored vehicles - these includes tanks, heavy and regular armored personnel carriers, self-propelled artillery, and infantry fighting vehicles more commonly over APCs. During the 18th century, the Cavalry Division was the mainstay that would be later replaced with armored forces - these troops primarily used horses and dragoons in combat. Mechanized Divisions focus on infantry troops with armored support, such as APCs or IFVs; depending on the Division, some use lighter vehicles, heavy vehicles, and some utilize tanks even. The Mechanized Division replaces standard Infantry Divisions since Mechanized troops are similar but feature armored vehicles that support them. Airborne Divisions are a more recent organization that utilizes helicopters, infantry, and lighter vehicles as part of its mission. Airborne soldiers are supported, transported, and work alongside helicopters and other aircraft for combat; they are light, highly mobile, and can be multi-mission too.
While Divisions have their set types, smaller units that make up battalions and regiments can have set missions of their own. For example, anti-air battalions or engineer battalions serve special missions while infantry regiments serve a various amount. Companies are also a possible force size for smaller units.
