Chiseian Royal Army

The Chiseian Royal Army or SRA (治世の王立陸軍 Chisei no Ōryū Rokugun) is the principal land warfare branch of the Chiseian Armed Forces. It is chiefly administered by the Ministry of War, and the Department of the Army. The Royal Army is made up of two major components; the Regular Army consisting of active duty personnel, and the Royal Army Reserve consisting of part-time reserve troops.

Additionally, the Royal Army maintains several permanent overseas postings.

Active units
The Chiseian Royal Army consists of 3 active divisions, 13 active independent brigades and four EVA expeditionary units. In addition, there are two reserve divisions and four independent reserve brigades, as well as 23 militia reserve regiments.

Enlisted
All enlisted ranks in the Imperial Army are conscripts; conscripts start as 'soldiers', and after completing their first year of service are automatically promoted to senior soldier status, granting them some additional pay. Conscripts selected as specialists automatically receive senior soldier status after the completion of their specialist training or after their first year, whichever comes first.

Non-Commissioned Officers
Non-commisioned Officers are either promoted on merit (either as a result of promising performance in basic conscript training, or due to positive accomplishments during service) or voluntarily enlist and are automatically put into NCO training. This training is conducted by the Imperial Officer Schooling Corps, and lasts 3-4 months, resulting in the graduates being promoted to the rank of Sergeant (the lowest NCO rank, Corporal, is awarded strictly through promotion and does not require additional training). For conscripts, promotion to NCO extends service by a minimum of 2 years.

Commissioned Officers
The Officer Corps of the Royal army is primarily conscripted, with most university graduates being drafted into the Armed Forces and put through officer training. Volunteers and former conscripts who have worked their way up make up the majority of the officers above the rank of Captain.

The highest rank, the Royal Grand Marshal, is ceremonial and held only by the current reigning Grand King of Chisei.
