Line 108:
The Cryrian Army today is the largest branch of the CDF by personnel. Of all the branches it relies the most heavily on conscripts, and its units are typically divided into three groups. Category A units are all-professional, high readiness forces. Category B units are 30-70% professional soldiers, with the remainder made up of actively serving conscripts. These units are expected to be able to deploy within 30 days of mobilization. Category C units have 5-30% of their strength available in professional soldiers, and are expected to have their remaining strength filled out by reservists in the event of war or emergency. These units are expected to need 90 to 180 days in order to reach combat readiness. At present, only the Royal Guard and the Foreign Legion are considered to be Category A units.
Much of the Army's combat power is organized into one of three brigades: Armored, Mechanized Infantry, or Light Infantry. This structure is meant to emphasize modularity, and two to five brigades can be combined with an Engineering Brigade, a Field Artillery Brigade, and a Logistics Brigade to form a division. The Army also maintains integrated drone and helicopter fleets, and though the Air Force is responsible for most ground-based air defense systems, the Army also operates its own short-range surface-to-air missiles. With a total of 200,000 personnel, the Army is by far the largest branch of the CDF.
