Karthian Ground Forces

The Karthian Ground Forces (: Ⲁⲗϧⲩⲁⲁⲧ Ⲁⲗⲃⲁⲣⲓⲏⲁⲧ Ⲕⲁⲣⲧϩⲓⲁⲛ) or the Karthian Army, is the land warfare branch of the Karthian Armed Forces. It is one of the largest military forces on the continent, having an estimated total manpower of roughly 2 million personnel.

The Karthian Army in its modern form were created in the early 20th century as the Imperial Qiladan Army after reforms to the armies of Qiladan, which were previously federalized as one military body. Following the Karthian Revolution, the ground forces were overhauled by Saabiq Hasen and Kamil al-Said through the modernization of equipment and military doctrine. Its most significant engagement following the revolution was the Agiraf War, in which Karthya was given heavy military aid from countries like Arsytia and Grenedene to fight the Ponterosans. This military lease subsisted after the war was over, and Karthya was rapidly expanding as one of the largest armored forces in the world by 1990. A Sneedhavn Times article suggested that, between 1961 and 2000, Arsytia had provided nearly XX billion in training and equipment to the Karthian Army, with an additional XX billion coming from Vesnay. While the Army has a giant surplus of military assets, the vast majority were bought from Arsytia during the 80's and 90's, most of which is now considered outdated. It is rumored that the Karthian Army has engaged in funding the Big Bull Liberation Army.
