Main article: Army of Burgundie
The current structure of the Army of Burgundie was codified in the Army of Burgundie Force Restructuring Act of 2003. It is divided into the Regular Army (Metropole Forces and the Foreign Legion) and the Legion of Volunteers and Levies. Some constituent countries further maintain a state defense forces (Faramount and Nostrestran), as a type of reserve that can be federalized through the Title 10 process. The Faramount Royal Defense Force is "organized", meaning that it is an armed force, the Nostrestran Militia System is "unorganized", meaning that all able-bodied citizens (of all genders) may be eligible to be called into military service.
The Army of Burgundie is also divided into several functional Corps. These Corps are headed by a school to maintain consistency of training and standards across the Regular Army, the Legion of Volunteers and Levies, and the state defense forces. While the total list of branches is exhaustive the most famous Corps are:
- Army Corps of Aviation (Burg: Corps Strates d'Aviacion)
- Army Corps of Engineering (Burg: Corps Strates d'Hyposthenie)
- Army Corps of Medicine (Burg: Corps Strates de Medicament)
- Army Corps of Military Police (Burg: Corps Strates des le Marechaussie)
- Army Corps of Special Operations (Burg: Corps Strates d'Operacions Especial)
- Army Corps of Cavalry (Burg: Corps Strates de Cavalerie)
- Army Corps of Artillery (Burg: Corps Strates d'Artillerie)
- Army Corps of Infantry (Burg: Corps Strates d'Infaterie)
- Army Corps of Logistics (Burg: Corps Strates de Tren)
- Army Corps of Military Intelligence (Burg: Corps Strates d'Intelligence Militaire)

Heavy Infantry
Armored
The armored brigade is the principal maneuvering brigade, and primarily bases its strength on its tanks. It has two primary objectives:
- lead the way for the infantry in the front line, and help clear the area of enemy troops;
- breakthrough in areas where enemy troops are heavily entrenched or fortified;
- rapidly exploit holes in the enemy's lines to disrupt their rear echelon; and
- block the enemy's armored forces and destroy it.

A cavalry string (Burg: fils), so named because in horse breading a string refers to a collection of horses belonging to one man, in this case the Colonel (Burg:Propieteuer), commander of the unit. A string is typically made up of around 550 soldiers, and includes a headquarters company, 4 squadrons (3 active and one in reserve), a self-propelled artillery battery, a supply company, and a combat engineer company.
The armor support mobile artillery battery consists of a command element, 3 artillery platoons, and a reconnaissance and forward observation platoon.
