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 1,622,549 uniformed personnel, the Land Forces also includes 3,541,384 Readiness Reservists in the Territorial Army, consisting of all conscripts who have completed their service within the last five years, for a total strength of 5,163,933. They are divided between 120 Motorized Jaeger Divisions, 57 Tank Divisions, and 34 Artillery Divisions, for a total of 211 active and reserve Land Forces divisions, in addition to independent brigades and supporting units.

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.

Mountaineers
Most of Arsytia's borders with its neighbors are heavily mountainous, with the notable exception of the Central Serican Plain. Accordingly, Arsytia has long maintained specialized mountain infantry units, which have often skirmished their with Phoenician counterparts in the Transerican Mountains. Since the 1998 uprisings in the Maarulali People's Republic, the Arsytians have formed several new mountaineer brigades and currently operate a total of 8

Arctic Troops
Although its most important theater of war is Southern Arsytia, along its border with Phoenicia, Arsytia has major oil fields and mines in its arctic regions. Due to Astrakia's opposition to Arsytia in the Cold War, and the apparent vulnerability of their strategically-important north, Arsytia formed two specialized Arctic Divisions. However, since the revolution in Astrakia, and its new, friendly stance towards Arsytia, the Arctic Divisions have been downgraded into four separate Arctic Brigades and an Arctic Training Center.

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.

Air Defense Troops
In spite of the size and capability of the Arsytian Air Forces, the harsh lessons learned in their war against the Phoenicians 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. Following the Armeija 2000 reforms of the 1990s, Arsytia has adopted a "combined arms battalion", in effect an Motorized Jaeger Battalion or Tank Battalion reinforced with significant supporting units to better allow independent action by low-level commanders. However, these have retained their standard Motorized Jaeger or Tank Battalion titles.

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: A Tank Brigade is organized along similar lines, but has 3 Tank Battalions (of 3 companies each) and 1 Motorized Jaeger Battalion. Other types of brigades, such as artillery brigades, follow the same "square" organization of 4 battalions plus supporting units as the Motorized Jaeger and Tank Brigades.
 * Brigade HQ
 * Reconnaissance Company
 * Signals Company
 * 3 Motorized Jaeger Battalions
 * 1 Tank Battalion (4 companies)
 * 155mm Howitzer Battalion
 * Rocket Artillery Battery
 * SAM Battery
 * SPAAG Battery
 * Engineer Company
 * Chemical Warfare Company
 * Maintenance Company
 * Transport Company

Division
Although Arsytian brigades are capable of independent maneuver, in both theory and practice their actions are coordinated by their parent division.
