Oráistír was originally dependent on a volunteer militia formed from the settler population of the colony, with later units composed of Oya auxiliaries. As the colony developed, the Oya in particular were integrated fully with the militia force, while Ohtisi irregulars served some roles such as policing in their own regions. After the establishment of a formal garrison in 1856, the colonial militia was turned into an emergency force primarily occupied with controlling the populations of animals predating on livestock and guarding road and later rail construction in the region. | |||
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 Iriquonan regulars after a series of modernizations. | |||
