===Army===
The Ostron Army is the principal land warfare force of Ostrony. In 1906, it was recorded as having had some 125,000 standing personnel. The Ostron Army is historically the more favored branch of the armed forces, as it needed to combat the immediate threats & insurrections within the Rift Valley, which caused Ostrony to never develop a strong maritime presence outside of its own waters. Ostron army doctrine is based upon creating cadres from standing personnel, who function as a basis upon which a potentially much larger force could be built upon during war time.
====Infantry====
The majority of the Ostron army is comprised of infantrymen, who engage in military combat on foot. While actual infantry warfare is conducted on foot, many infantry divisions utilize horses to provide quick & mass transport across Ostrony. The Ostron infantry are led by a hierarchical structure of both commissioned & non-commissioned officers, known as the Board of Infantry. Positions start with meagre lieutenants, & stretch all the way to the sergeant-generals, whom are appointed by the Minister of Warfare. The Board of Infantry is unique in that it does not have an overarching Master-General; disputes are settled directly by the Minister of Warfare.
====Artillery====
While artillery regiments are essentially glued to an assigned infantry division, the artillery is actually run under a separate branch of the army, known as the Board of Artillery. The Board of Artillery is lead by the Master-General of the Artillery, and consists of both the standing ground forces but also of specialized schools & camps for officers of artillery components.
====Logistics====
Logistics are managed by the Board of Ordinance, which works in tandem with the other boards to ensure a flow of supplies to Ostron military engagements. The Board of Ordinance is lead by the Master General of the Ordinance, who manages the army's engineers, fortifications, military supplies, transport, field hospitals, among other miscellaneous functions.
