The Arsalanian People's Army or the People's Army (Urdu:عوامی فوج)are the principal land warfare of the People's Republic of Arsalania. They are the only branch of the Arsalanian Armed Forces and are tasked with protecting Arsalanian territory and citizens while carrying out any tasks as required of them in the line of duty.

The People's Army was formed in May 2019 with the foundation of the People's Republic, however they would not attain an organized structure until May 2020 after the Arsalanian Government began to interact with outsiders and began to rapidly develop the basic institutions of the State, the Armed Forces were one of such State organs. The People's Army have been the sole law enforcement and military arm of the Arsalanian government for the entirety of Arsalania's independent history.

History

Although initially the Arsalanian People's Army did not have an organized structure and lacked designations and the sort, later on, especially after 2020 the People's Army would see service. While traditionally it would be assumed that a military force would see military action, much of the People's Army's history has seen them step into law enforcement matters thus they can be considered as the de-facto law enforcement organization of Arsalania (as no equivalent institution exists)

The Arsalanian People's Army have had a rich history of asymmetrical tactics and due to the unpredictable nature of the area surrounding Arsalania, they have been first and foremost in defence of the People's Republic. However they have yet to see combat and are weak as a fighting force.

Command

The People's Army are under the command of the Arsalanian Armed Forces High Command (ARFHC) based in Arsal City. The Supreme Leader of Arsalania is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces.

Virtual Wargames

In October 2021, at the Supreme Leader's initiative the People's Army took part in Virtual Strategy exercises led by Supreme Leader. These were bilateral exercises in which personnel from the Commonwealth of Missouria also attended.

After the success of the first 'Virtual Wargames' the Arsalanian government has expressed it's desire to host a grander and more 'proper' second event with more nations invited.
