Army of Dexistan

The Army of the People's Democratic Republic of Dexistan is the ground force and one of the three branches of the Dexistanian military. It was founded even before Dexistan was declared a nation during the coup executed by President Moonfire on January 25th, 2020. It has seen many battles and is well-respected on the Realm as a capable and efficient fighting force, usually alongside its close allies of the GTR and Japan.

Army Strength and Size
The Dexistanian Army has a standing peacetime army of around 30,000 but can expand to 100,000 in times of war due to both heightened patriotism among citizens as well as the conscription that is instituted in times of war. Its troops are well-trained and well-armed. The standard Dexstanian soldier is trained in pistols, revolvers, bolt action rifles, semi automatic rifles, basic explosives, and basic hand-to-hand combat. The standard issue for GI troopers is a variant of the Zastava M21 for their primary weapon, a version of the Makarov as a side arm, and a 12 inch Bowie-style knife as the melee weapon.
