After independence from the mainland, the nascent Republic formed an incomplete division-scale force of semiprofessional troops, drawing from Royalist exiles, the garrison and militia forces, and occasional immigrants from abroad. This force, the Army of Orange, was the primary fighting force of the country during the Ohtisi and Orange Wars, and was primarily an infantry force, though some bicycle infantry, cavalry and field artillery were present in limited numbers. This force was largely reliant on foreign purchases of arms and munitions, and was eventually defeated by Netansettn regulars after a series of modernizations. | After independence from the mainland, the nascent Republic formed an incomplete division-scale force of semiprofessional troops, drawing from Royalist exiles, the garrison and militia forces, and occasional immigrants from abroad.
