Arsytian Land Forces

The Arsytian Workers' Army Land Forces (Arsytian: Arsyten Työväen Armeija Maavoimat), or simply the Arsytian Land Forces, is the branch of the Arsytian Workers' Army. The Land Forces are the largest branch of the Workers' Army, numbering approximately 1.6 million men, and is considered the most important branch in both role and the official order of precedence. The Land Forces are tasked with defending Arsytia from all foreign aggression, as well as its TTO allies under the principle of collective security.

In addition to its active strength of 965,904 uniformed personnel, the Land Forces also includes 3,541,384 "Readiness Reservists" in the Territorial Army (Alueellinen Armeija), who may be rapidly mobilized during a crisis, for a total strength of 4,507,288. They are divided between 105 Motorized Jaeger Divisions, 47 Tank Divisions, and 28 Artillery Divisions, for a total of 180 active and reserve Land Forces divisions, in addition to independent brigades and supporting units. They are organized into 22 Combined Arms Armies, 6 Tank Armies, 11 Army Corps, 3 Tank Corps, and 10 Artillery Corps.

Motorized Jaegers
Motorized Jaegers (Moottorijääkärit) are the mechanized infantry of the Arsytian Land Forces, and provide the bulk of its combat power. They are the oldest branch of the Land Forces, which are, in turn, the oldest branch of the Workers' Army, and many Motorized Jaeger units trace their lineage back to either worker militias or Imperial Army units that joined the revolutionaries. The Motorized Jaegers, like the Rifle units that preceded them, are regarded as the framework upon which all other arms of the Land Forces are built upon and support. Generally, Motorized Jaeger units ride to battle in either KPA-series wheeled APCs, or in RPSV IFVs. For reasons of operational and strategic mobility, as well as cost-saving, Motorized Jaeger divisions historically had 1 out of their 3 infantry brigades equipped with RPSVs. However, since the early 2000s, Arsytia utilizes either all-KPA or all-RPSV divisions, albeit in a similar ratio.

Tank Troops
Although late adopters of tanks compared to their Hatarian contemporaries, the Arsytians quickly fully embraced their use, and tanks are central to their concept of Deep Operations. The importance placed on tanks in the Land Forces is reflected in their presence at all levels, as well as their large concentration of Tank Divisions and Tank Armies. Tank Divisions form the core of Arsytian Operational Maneuver Groups, which, as their name suggests, are designed to conduct operational maneuver in the critical exploitation stage of an offensive or counteroffensive, both widening the gap created in enemy lines and striking far into their operational depth.

Although in peacetime they are within the purview of their local military district, which is responsible for their manpower, training, and equipment, in wartime, the Tank Armies are under the direct command of the Supreme Command Reserve, which will concentrate them at critical points as the operational situation develops.

Air Defense Troops
In spite of the size and capability of the Arsytian Air Forces, the harsh lessons learned in their war against the Fengese led to an appreciation of the virtues of ground-based air defenses. As a rule, most Arsytian tactical air defense systems are highly mobile and able to keep pace with rapidly-moving mechanized units.

Brigade
The brigade is considered the smallest unit capable of significant independent maneuver in the Workers' Army. It replaced the outdated single-arm regiments during the round of reforms after the Great Serrataran War. Arsytian Motorized Rifle and Tank Brigades are combined arms units, albeit weighed towards one arm or another: a Motorized Jaeger Brigade has 3 Motorized Jaeger battalions and 1 tank battalion, while the Tank Brigade has the reverse—3 tank battalions and 1 Motorized Jaeger battalion.

Although smaller than most other brigades or regiments fielded by other nations, Arsytian brigades possess equal or even superior firepower. A standard Arsytian Motorized Jaeger Brigade consists of the following:
 * Brigade HQ
 * Reconnaissance Company
 * Signals Company
 * 3 Motorized Jaeger Battalions
 * 1 Tank Battalion
 * 155mm Howitzer Battalion
 * Rocket Artillery Battery
 * SAM Battery
 * SPAAG Battery
 * Engineer Company
 * Chemical Warfare Company
 * Maintenance Company
 * Transport Company
 * Sniper Company

For extended-length independent operations, breakthrough operations, or other extenuating circumstances, the brigade may be reinforced with additional assets, especially artillery, air defense, engineering, signals, and logistical battalions. These units may come from divisional or army-level assets, or they may be transferred or compiled from elements of other brigades. In such cases, the brigade is referred to as a Brigade Battlegroup (Прикаатин Таистелурыхмэ, Prikaatin Taisteluryhmä). They are usually named after their commander, such as Battlegroup Kantola, famous for its deep raid during the Maarulali War, or after the brigade it is formed around, such as Battlegroup Kalliolahti, named after the 147th Motorized Jaeger "Kalliolahti" Brigade.

Following the Armeija 2000 reforms of the 1990s, Arsytia has frequently formed Battalion Tactical Groups (Паталёонан Тактинен Рыхмэ, Pataljoonan Taktinen Ryhmä), task-organized combined-arms formations based around a Motorized Jaeger Battalion reinforced with artillery, air-defense, engineering, and logistical units drawn from the brigade or division echelons. Battalion Tactical Groups are noted for their usefulness in low-level, nonlinear warfare and in situations where terrain or political factors limit the employment of larger units. Although they proved effective against light forces in the Maarulali War and during Arsytian "hybrid" operations in Karnelo, Arsytian analysts have noted their brittleness due to a lack of infantry compared to a preponderance of supporting assets, making them unsuitable for high-intensity conflict—reflected in the deployment of conventional battalions, with brigades and divisions retaining their assets, during the Milima War.

Division
Although Arsytian brigades are capable of independent maneuver, in both theory and practice their actions are coordinated by their parent division. Accordingly, the division is still considered the primary "unit of maneuver" for the Land Forces.

Army
Arsytia's largest peacetime formations are its field armies. There are currently 45 field armies in the Land Forces, split between 37 Combined Arms Armies containing 112 Motorized Jaeger Divisions and 33 Tank Divisions, and 8 Tank Armies containing 24 Tank Divisions and 8 Motorized Jaeger Divisions. Of these, 10 Combined Arms Armies and 5 Tank Armies are active, with the remaining 30 in reserve as part of the Territorial Army.
