Overview:The Mahdavian Emirate Army is the largest branch in the Mahdavian Emirate Armed Forces and is a essential part of national security. With 16,000,000 combat personnel that could be deployed in times of crisis or war, the Army is essential to the survival to the Imperial Emirate. The Army is split into eight Imperial Armies which are stationed to respond to different parts of the country in time of war or around the world. All eight of the armies are fully mechanized with armor and combat air support capabilities which make them a conventional force to be reckoned with on the battlefield of the 21st century.
With the Army being a mechanized centric force, support units are combined with combat units for ultimate effectiveness. Such units were the Army Air Calvary(AAC) which essentialy filled the role of CAS(Close Air Support) and were dependent on helicopters of different variants to fit a variety of roles to serve the infantry man in battle. Another support unit was the Army Artillery Battalions(AAB) these units are battalion sized units of artillery which are attached to the Imperial Armies to fill in the long range firepower needed to crush the enemy at hand. Most if not all of the artillery used are mobile self propelled artillery for easy use in different terrain and for the survivability against counter-battery fire.
The Combat Logistics Support(CLS) are logistics units that are attached to Imperial Army formations and keep up supplies and materials of war to keep the men in the fight for as long as possible.
