The Gendoran Armed Forces is split into two theaters: Defense Force & Expeditionary Force. The Defense Forces is the only theater to have dedicated ground forces, while the Expeditionary Force consists of marines from its Navy for its ground units. The Defense Ground Force are heavily armed to defend key positions around the island archipelago, but also very mobile to move between islands. Operating as a militia, they're not strictly adherent to uniform standardizations, only in the equipment they've been assigned.
While Garrison squads are numbered at 10 soldiers for added firepower, Mechanized infantry are at 8 per squad to fit into their amphibious, wheeled, armored personnel characters, for increased mobility, and lighter-caliber weaponry for increased ammunition capacity.
