The Kiravian Army, officially the Federal Army, operates the Federacy's capability for {{wp|Land warfare|terrestrial warfare}}. The Federal Army was organised after the final unification of the [[Great Kirav|Kiravian island continent]] by the Continental War, which left the homeland well-protected by vast ocean distances. As such, the Federal Army's role been mainly expeditionary and colonial for most of its history, the chief exceptions being the [[Kiravian Civil War]] and the consequent defencive retrenchment of the [[Kiravian Remnant]].


<!--
Since Kiravian reunification, the Army has reverted to its traditional mission profile, chiefly concerned with the security of Kiravian overseas territories and interventions in the regional neighbourhoods thereof, with most of its resources devoted to [[Crona]].
The largest of the Kiravian armed forces in terms of personnel and expenditure, the Federal Army operates the Federacy's capabilities for ground, air, and amphibious warfare, as well as most of the Federacy's strategic arsenal, including nuclear and conventional missiles, cyber-warfare, and electronic warfare. As vast ocean distances have protected the [[Great Kirav|Kiravian island continent]] from most serious threats of invasion for most of history, the Army's role has mainly been expeditionary since the end of the [[Continental War]], with state and territorial forces shouldering much of the burden of suppressing domestic insurrections and securing the homeland. The Army ...large scale expeditionary operations during the Great Oceanic Wars and the Tropical Sea War. Under Kirosocialism, the Army was recast in a more strictly defencive role, undertaking a considerable buildup in manpower and weaponry in order to deter foreign aggression against the Federacy's major land masses. In the post-Kirosocialist era, the Army has seen a few major overseas deployments, including the Echo Islands Wars and the Puritan Cross Intervention, but has increasingly seen its overseas activity limited to brief special forces, aerial, and amphibious operations in support of Kiravian foreign policy and the [[KATI]] alliance.  


In contemporary times, the Regular Army operates mainly as a colonial and expeditionary force. Since the {{H:title|2010s AD|21190s}}, the vast majority of its overseas deployments have been to [[Crona]], where it has been responsible for the defence and expansion of Kiravian colonies and the application of military pressure upon native Cronite states. Although readiness for and deterrence against a conventional ground invasion of Great Kirav is the Army's paramount responsibility, it has come to rely heavily upon and coördinate closely with the various State Defence Forces and the Army Reserve in this area. Meanwhile, increased attention and funding have been given to special operations and rapid-response (the Army Ranger Corps and Army Marine Corps), army aviation, and technological development in C4ISR, cyber-warfare, electronic warfare, and space in order to adapt to the threat environment of the 213th century and anticipate future challenges to Kiravian security. -->
