People's Defense Corps Ground Force

The People's Defense Corps Ground Force (PDCGF; Tari: Korsuli Tadvadi i e-Ula Dzali Mitsa, sometimes abbreviated as KTUDM), formed in 2016, is the land force of e-Tarin. The PDCGF is the largest of the four branches of the People's Defense Corps, also constituted by the People's Defense Corps Air Force (PDCAF), People's Defense Corps Logistics Service (PDCLS), and People's Defense Corps Medical Service (PDCMS). The PDCGF is commanded by the chairman of the Ground Force General Staff (GFGS), which in turn is under the command of People's Defense Corps Command Committee (PDCCC).

Mission
The main missions of the PDCGF are the defense of the People's Administration's independence and integrity, the safeguarding of national territory, the decisive contribution to the achievement of the country's policy objectives, and the liberation of the oppressed peoples of the world.

Organization
The People's Defense Corps Ground Force (PDCGF) operates under the command authority of the People's Defense Corps Command Committee through the PDC's four district commands (DC). The district commands serve as joint operation commands to enable extensive cooperation and provide control over all PDC forces within their DC, including PDCGF. Within each DC, the PDCGF's service component is made up of a "brigade" composed of two to three battlegroups (the 2nd DC has three battlegroups within its brigade), an aviation regiment, an engineer regiment, an artillery regiment, a support regiment, and a headquarters regiment. Additionally, the commander of the 1st, 2nd, and 4th DCs are all officers from the PDCGF. The 3rd DC is commanded by an Air Force officer.

PDCGF units are designated according to which DC they belong to. The 1st battlegroup of the 2nd DC would be known as "1-2 BG", the 2nd's DC's aviation regiment is the "2nd Aviation Regiment", etc. Battlegroups and regiments, however, may also adopt patron heroes, symbols, and/or mascots as voted upon at their foundation. For instance, 2-1 BG is known as "2-1 Battlegroup 'Rose'" after its adoption of the rose as its battlegroup symbol and nickname. The 3rd Aviation Regiment is known as the "3rd Aviation Regiment 'Commander Orlan'" after Mastrati Orlan, the famous hero-commander of the 311th CDU in the civil war.

Structure
In 2019, a military reform was undertaken which re-organized the PDCGF into the newly created DCs. As of 2023, the structure is as follows:
