History

Army

The Imperial Drah Army is the land arm of the Imperial Armed Forces and comprises a majority of the Armed Forces and is responsibility for land-based military operations. The Imperial Army has been involved in several major conflicts, the most recent being the Tambossan Civil War. The Imperial Army has an active duty force of some 350,000 active-duty soldiers, and over 500,000 reservists.

The structure of the army has historically had two headquarters: operational, compromised of combat units, and administrative, containing various support functions. The operational component of the army is compromised of 14 armored brigades, 17 mechanized brigades, 9 infantry brigades, and 4 commando brigades, and 5 aviation regiments.

The Imperial Army is the only military force that accepts conscripts, with all other branches being entirely composed of volunteers. As a result, the Imperial Army has a reputation of personnel being of lower quality than the other two branches, with many soldiers serving out their 18 month required service in the administrative component of the army.

The four fleets each containing the following forces: 1 aircraft carrier, 1 cruiser, 6 destroyers, 6 frigates, 2 amphibious transport docks, and 5 support ships. The Submarine Service contains all 22 of Drahen's diesel-electric attack submarines. The navy usually has 2 fleets on patrol, 1 on refit, and 1 training for patrol. However, during periods of conflict the navy can field 3 fleets for an extended period of time, and all four fleets on an emergency basis.

As it's name suggests, the Force provides Coastal and inland protection for the nation. 1st-4th Squadrons are compromised of 6 corvettes per squadron, 5th-9th Squadrons are compromised of 9 offshore patrol ships per squadron, and 10-14th Squadrons are strictly brown-water forces.
