Tension between Sokala and Iphelklori has resulted in military service in Sokala being required by law through mandatory conscription. Every Sokalan that turns 18 is required to serve for two years. The Sokalan army has 2,500 tanks in operation, including the Morstaybishlian-built [[Colonarius mk1]] and [[Colonarius mk2]] main battle tanks, which form the backbone of the Sokalan army's mechanized armor and infantry forces. A sizable arsenal of many artillery systems, including 1,700 self-propelled howitzers and 680 helicopters and UAVs of numerous types, are assembled to provide additional fire, reconnaissance, and logistics support.
