The Saratovan Army (Sarvakh: Саратовская армия ) is the principal land warfare force of the Saratovan Armed Forces. As of 2023, the Saratovan Army comprises of approximately 665,000 active personnel. The modern Saratovan Army traces back to 1267 with the formation of the Azatovan Army of the Grand Duchy of Azatov. The Army was crucial in The War of Princes, an event which led to the the complete unification of Saratov, with many rebelling houses losing their power, centralising it in the hands of the Tzar. Following the re-establishment of the Tzardom, the Azatovan Army became the Saratovan Army.
The primary responsibilities of the Saratovan Army are the protection of Saratov's borders, combat on land, and the preservation of national stability. The Tzar of Saratov is the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Saratovan Armed Forces. The Commander-in-Chief of the Saratovan Army is the chief commanding authority of the Saratovan Army. He is appointed by the Tzar of Saratov or by the Saratovan Ministry of Defence and the main command of the Army is based in Cehansk. Saratov’s ability to field such a large army stems from conscription, as all Saratovan citizens have to perform 2 years of compulsory service.
