Stenza's army is its oldest service branch, having existed as an unified force since 1811 when the Corummese Colonial government decided to raise a force made up of local conscripts with Corummese officers and NCO's. This force was effective enough in putting down any resistance during the colonial era, but eventually revolted against the Corummese government to start the Stenzan war of independence. The Stenzan Army was reformed upon gaining independence in 1921, and has existed in its current force since.

The Stenzan Army of today is a modern light mechanized force suited to Stenza's defense. The bulk of its forces are formed into (light) mechanized divisions, which are mobile enough to thrive in Stenza's somewhat difficult terrain. Three air mobile divisions, two airborne divisions and a single armored division finish up Stenza's offensive capabilities on land. One interesting thing to note about Stenza's light mechanized divisions is their secondary role as Gendarmerie divisions, with the bulk of these divisions being absorbed from the old Stenzan Internal Forces, a paramilitary agency under the previous government. Divisions and units that are marked as Gendarmerie divisions can perform constitutional law enforcement duties all over Stenza.

Stenza's Army is a full time voluntary force with a major reserve component. Most army divisions are only staffed to a third of their normal wartime strength, with the other two thirds being drawn from reservists. Reservists are obliged to train for two weekends a month and two large exercises per year, with the government offering free education to every member of Stenza's military reserve.

The Stenzan Air Force operates from both its own bases and reserve bases that exist at civilian airports. It is not uncommon for civilian airfields that only serve small regional aircraft to have large runways and the facilities needed to host large military aircraft.
