The [[Army of Burgundie#Metropole Forces|Metropole Forces]] are not a standing army and as such, is best suited to {{wpl|fourth generation warfare}}, which is the basic doctrine of force. It relies entirely on small unit tactics and small, fast armored vehicles.

While not on combat missions it serves as the garrison force, along with the [[National Gendarmerie of Burgundie]] across the [[Burgoignesc thalattocracy]]. It is also the primary warfighting force of the Army of Burgundie and focuses its capabilities on {{wpl|expeditionary warfare}} and long term combat operations sustainment.
