GA Field Armies
In GA organization, a formation consisting of multiple regiments is an "Army"; an "Army Group" is all of the forces (including air and sea forces) in a particular area. (ie Army Group Hyrule would include all military forces in Hyrule.)
Particularly in peacetime, a GA Sub-General will wear many hats, and may have command of an army in addition to other duties. (Rimmel Coward, for example, before retirement, was commander of Seventh Army and Inspector General of Tank Troops.)
A typical army is "3/2/1", three Regular regiments, two Grenadier regiments, and a tank force. The main exceptions to this rule are Second Army, Fifth Army, and Seventh Army; the Second and Seventh are primarily tanks. Fifth Army has a larger-than-normal tank contingent, though not nearly as many as Second and Seventh.
First Army ("the White Daggers") - During the Great War, this army was the personal command of Celiose himself.
Second Army ("Heavy Metal") - Second Army, commanded by Torstensson Lenart, is primarily a tank army, and was the forward striking fist of the Grand Army from the siege of Trianable onward. Often assigned the most valuable offensive objective of a campaign.
Third Army - Part of AEF in the Transbaron campaign. Downsized with budget cuts.
Fourth Army - Part of AEF in the Transbaron campaign, commanded by Erdeny Cole, whose growth had been hyper-accelerated. Later downsized with budget cuts.
Fifth Army - Deployed to asist the BEF in Tororia during the Transbaron campaign, commanded by [{Celes Cole]]. Used in several military operations afterwards.
Sixth Army ("the Suicide Kings") - Commanded by Sub-General Model Steinmetz, the Sixth Army and its commander have a reputation for holding the line at all costs. In the Great War and beyond, they were defensive specialists, used as a sort of fireman to plug holes in the line. The symbol is the card King drawn so as to appear stabbing itself, derived from the unit's facing of impossible odds. The most famous GA unit of the Hivan War, as their heroic stand at Zenan Bridge caused the creation of Model Square.
Seventh Army ("Hell on Wheels") - Commanded by Sub-General Rimmel Coward, the Seventh Army, like the Second, is a concentration of tanks and mobile striking power. Has the distinction of being the unit to capture Baron, ushering in the end of the Great War. Also served with distinction with Medina and elsewhere.
Eighth Army - Formed near the end of the Great War, and primarily used in the KMT and Hivan wars. Disbanded due to budget cuts.
Ninth Army - Originally conceived as a "mechanized" army with extra tanks like the Fifth. Disbanded due to budget cuts.
Tenth Army - Commanded by Sub-General Liah Kyja. One of the last armies created (at the time, the GA still had over fifty regiments of various types as free-floating reserve). Mainly, achieved distinction in the Defiler War.

They Stand, by the poet Virgil Rattlecube
- Admire the Grand Army. For us, they stand.
- They stand between the darkness and the light
- They stand on the bridge and let none pass
- They stand and war with the Gods themselves
- They stand in Hell itself against the infernal host
- They stand in front of us all so that we may live
- They stand where thunder rumbles and the Earth cracks
- They stand between life and death
- For they are the Grand Army,
- And Victory is Life
- For us all
