Luminarian Ground Forces

The Luminarian Ground Forces is the land warfare service branch of the Luminarian Military, responsible for conducting expeditionary and amphibious operations, defense of both planetary and spaceborne assets and to support naval campaigns.
The Luminarian Ground Forces is closely intertwined with the Luminarian Navy. Operating planet based installations as well as spaceborne installations including naval warships. Additionally, many Divisions are also embedded within Naval BattleGroups, operating primarily from carriers.
The Luminarian Ground Forces traces its origins to the many different frontier defense forces. With the commencement of the Luminarian Schism, a unified army structure was setup, unifying the many different defense forces under a single command structure. 
The Luminarian Ground Forces is somewhat unique amongst the many armies involved in the Great War as it is a purely mechanized force. Infantry units in the Ground Forces only utilize battlesuits at a minimum, backed up with heavily armored and mobile vehicles and mechs.
The Luminarian Ground Forces is headed by the General of the Army, who reports to the Defense Council.
