The Yuktobania Ground Forces, YGF, is the second largest armed forces in the world. The only competer is the Osean Self-Defense Forces. The YGF is frequantly being compared to its eastern counter-part. In the past the ground forces has not seen any combat since the brief conflict with the Republics of Kaluga & Romny. This conflict was known as, "The Blood War". But this is not the end to the conflicts that involved Yuktobanian troops.
History and Orginization
The Yuktobania Armed Forces is the largest section within the Yuktobania military structure. Within the armed forces, there are several Divisions that are unquie, but equally important to the success of the Yuktobanian military. The first notable division are the Elite Troop Division, it's comparable to that osean airbone divsion. The second notable division is the Field Intelligance Gathering Division, this is one of the unique division that is seperated from the other armed divisions within the Armed Forces. In 2010, The Yuktobania Armed Forces first engaged OSDF forces was during Operation Foot Print. The armed forces near Vlona Beach defended there positions with their lives. But they did not have enough air support to keep the Oseans from capturing and form a beach-head on Vlona Beach. The Oseans kept invading deeper into Yuktobanian territory until they neared the inland desert. During Operation Desert Arrow & Lightning, the OSDF forces entered the region and began their sieges on two Yuktobanian Forward Air Fields, an the local oil fields, and the Yuktobanian Forward Headquarters. All of the Osean forces met with heavy ground resistance by Yuktobanian troops. All resistance and targets obstructing the forward move moment of Osean forces have been destroyed and continue to push to the Yuktobanian Last Defensive position. During Operation Doodlebug, the Oseans ground forces near Cruick Fortress, Yuktobania's Last defensive Line in the rural area outside Cinigrad. The remaining Yuktobanian Ground Forces defended their "glorious" fortress with their lives, but in the end it was not enough. Yuktobanian troops retreated all the way back to their capital city and started to setup defensive positions in preparations for an extended urban battle. Unfortunately, the Oseans overran Cruick Fortress and started their attack near the suburban area of Cinigrad.
The Yuktobania Amphibious Assault Forces is the next subdivision of the Yuktobania Ground Forces. This division is responsible for the successful landings in enemy territory to establish a beach-head in order to invade the remaining enemy territory. In 2010, The Yuktobania Amphibious Forces began a full assault on the beaches of Sand Island. The landing ships were escorted by destroyers and frigates to protect the on-coming landing forces. But the OMDF received advanced warning of the on-coming amphibious assault force.
