History
In the late 1800s the Imperial Kodeshi armed forces were made up of infantry, cavalry, infantrymen and artillery all made up of Kodeshi Imperial troops and Kodeshian Imperial Militia. In the late 1800s the Kodeshi Imperial army began the process of integrating Kodeshian Imperial Guard units and Kodeshian Imperial Legion units. They also began integrating Kodeshi Imperial Guards units into the Kodeshi Imperial Militia. These units were later joined by Kodeshi Imperial Cavalry units. However, during the early 1900s the Kodeshi Imperial Army suffered from low numbers and was made up of militia units from across Kodeshia. To combat this the Kodeshian Imperial Army decided to begin a rapid expansion of their forces and establish a real Imperial Army to operate in Kodeshia. This was achieved by the establishment of a real Imperial army. However this meant that there was no longer a Kodeshian Imperial Guard as all Kodeshian Imperial Guards units were now part of the Imperial Army.

A few years later in the early 1900s the Imperial Army began creating their own air force of Kodeshian Imperial Air Force units. Kodeshi Imperial Air Force squadrons began operating in Kodeshia to protect the Imperial Kodeshian army and its positions. In the early 1900s the Kodeshian Imperial Army had a few units that operated as infantry and cavalry while the remainder of its units were made up of Kodeshian Imperial Militia units. These units were formed as Kodeshian Imperial infantry units that would work alongside regular infantry units of the Kodeshian Imperial Army. During this time the Kodeshian Imperial Army was plagued with low numbers and low combat readiness. This made the Kodeshian Imperial Army vulnerable to attacks from the Kodeshian Imperial Militia.
