The Royal Land Force (Kazulian: Kongelig Landethær) is the land component of the Kazulian Defence Force and comprises of 180,000 active Regular Force personnel, 270,000 territorial forces personnel and around 5,000 civilian personnel. The Land Forces have seen combat since action in majors conflicts, including the South Ocean War, and the Hulstro-Kazulian War. Kazulia's decisive accomplishes in these conflicts allowed it to influence world events and establish itself as one of the world's leading economic and military powers. Since the renaissance experienced by the defence force, the Land Forces have been deployed to serious conflict zones under the banner of the World Congress Peacekeeping Organisation and independent interventions launched by the Kongeforsvar.

History

Formed in October 2900, with the amalgamation of the four separate colonial military forces, the history of the Royal Kazulian Army can be divided into two periods:

Pre-Civil War:- when limits were set on the size of the regular Army, the vast majority of peacetime soldiers were in reserve units of the Kazulian National Army (also known as the KNA), and expeditionary forces (the King's Foreign Legion) were formed to serve overseas.

Post Civil War:- when a standing peacetime regular infantry force was formed and the Kazulian National Army (known as the Royal Home Guard 15 years after the civil war ended) began to decline in importance

Modern Land Forces

For more than two centuries, the Land Forces has resorted to mandatory conscription. Since the formation of part-time reserves, the Land Forces has maintained part-time reserve numbers of up to 300,000. This is a direct result of the government's decision to register persons who has undergone their respective term of military service, as part-time reserves who must be ready to mobilise on moment's notice. The size and structure of the Land Forces has evolved throughout the years. According to a statistic formed by the Ministry of Defence, since 3898, the Land Forces has increased by 45%.

Since the Defence 4200 "Strategic Review of the Defence Force" , the Land Forces has aimed to structure its doctrine in accordance with global events. A case study by the Trond Henrichsen Institute for International Affairs accentuated that the Kongeforsvar, through the evolving doctrines of the Land Forces is one of the most combat effective and professional armed forces in the world. The main focus of the doctrine has been centred on forming yet experienced armed forces, citing that size no longer counts as an influential factor in a nation's success in combat. From assisting in peacekeeping exercises to assisting in training other nation's armed forces, the Land Forces has maintained a heightened level of effectiveness and readiness.

As the nation has employed mandatory conscription, former reservists and conscripts can be recalled for duty as needed. It has been the umbrella objective of the Personnel and Recruitment Office to ensure that the nation maintains a heightened state of readiness as it strives to attain full military mobilisation in less than 12 hours. Thus, the Land Forces has maintained an array of offices across the nation and has adopted an information system which could be used to inform citizens that they are needed for military service in the event that a conflict is to come to the nation's grounds (a possibility which the Kongeforsvar does not intend on allowing).
