}}The '''Royal Corric Armed Legions''' (Corric: ''Legiones Armas de Corric Réal,'' abbreviated LACR, or simply ''Legiones'') is the terrestrial force of the [[Royal Corric Defense Forces]]. The Legions were founded in 1258 in the Kingdom of Casilló, as a consolidation of the professional men-at-arms cavalry of King Arturo I, which were instrumental in conquering the smaller petty-kingdoms that now made up the state. Over the centuries various Arranzic monarchs would expand upon the Legions until they formed the core of the standing army, ten-thousand strong. When the Kingdom of Réal was conquered and absorbed, the new Kingdom of Corrí doubled the size of the Legions. King Felipé III renamed the army the Royal Corric Armed Legions. Training, modern equipment, and a love of their homeland has always ensured the Legions have been a formidable defense for the Corric people, though their size has diminished in the past two centuries.

The Armed Legions have a total strength circa 2021 of 115,156 soldiers, support staff, and civilian contractors.
