The Imperial Army (sometimes referred to as the Sarovian Imperial Army or Imperial Sarovian Army, to distinguish between other foreign armies) is the land warfare arm of the New Sarovian Empire, as the senior branch of the Imperial Armed Forces. As of May 2021, the Imperial Army has over 200 full time soldiers and 100 part time soldiers.
The modern Imperial Sarovian Army can be dated back to 2016 when Constantine III established it after the May 21st Revolution, but a Sarovian army can be traced back a year prior. Members of the Imperial Army swear allegiance to their monarch as their commander-in-chief, and the force is overseen by the Ministry of Defense and the Chief of Staff, according to the National Defense Act of 2020.
The Imperial Army was primarily composed of three arms - infantry, cavalry and Guards, but cavalry has since shrunk to a diminished role. In the Army, consists of a series of departments that help in administration: the Department of Engineering, the Department of Supply and Logistics, the Department of Standards, the Department of Personnel and the Department of Signals.
The Imperial Army has seen action in major wars for five years and on every continent, including the Saro-Malum War, the first and second Great War, the Great Northern War, the Saro-Imperian Wars and more. Sarovian victories in major wars such as those allowed it to become the hegemon of Graal and abroad.
