The Ground Forces are the oldest military branch established in Vallejarian territory, originating as a professional force in the early 16th century under the governor of the newly conquered territory by Pelaxian forces. Initially, small militias comprised of local men-at-arms, needy peasants, mercenaries, and Pelaxians seeking a living in the New World formed the foundation. Their initial mission was to maintain Pelaxian control over the region without maintaining a professional army on the territory. | The Ground Forces are the oldest military branch established in Vallejarian territory, originating as a professional force in the early 16th century under the governor of the newly conquered territory by Pelaxian forces.

These local militias gradually organized, grew, and formalized, forming different militia divisions with various objectives scattered throughout the territory. The main militias during the colonial era were the Monteclaro Militia (main militia for maintaining control over important areas), the Lightning Militia (rapid-response militia for urgent and significant threats), and the High Fort Militia (heavy militias guarding borders against land attacks, especially from "barbarians"). | These local militias gradually organized, grew, and formalized, forming different militia divisions with various objectives scattered throughout the territory.

After more than a century of maintaining control over the area, the militias were unified into a single military entity known as "The Host of Vallejar" (named after the place of its creation). This Host was part of the Royal Hosts of Pelaxia, considered the best of their time, and their dominance on the battlefield was overwhelming. This Host, formed in the town of Vallejar, had the same function as its predecessors: ensuring Pelaxian control of the territory against any threat. | After more than a century of maintaining control over the area, the militias were unified into a single military entity known as [[The Host of Vallejar|"The Host of Vallejar"]] (named after the place of its creation).
