Since the [[Military Initiative 1964]], Calinthian ground tactics consist of large mechanized and armoured assaults with supporting artillery using the Calinthian strategy of '[[Defense Maneuver]]'. In Defense Maneuver, Calinthian forces dig entrenched forward positions in such a way that they can easily fall back while under the cover of other nearby friendly positions. When Calinthian armed forces go on the offensive, they do so slowly and methodically, building entrenchments, forward operating bases, and solidifying logistical lines. In addition, a strong reliance on tanks, mobile infantry, as well as mass artillery mean that no unit has a high likelihood of being unsupported at any given time. However, in exchange for survivability and time, Calinthian armed forces relinquish land, and fortified positions. This means most Calinthian ground forces choose to retreat to better positions rather than stay and fight to the death. Most Calinthian equipment represents this strategy and preference of long range engagements.
