United Provincial People's Army

The armed forces of the United Provinces of Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia were known as the United Provincial People's Army. This army consisted of the United People's Ground Forces (UPGF), United People's Navy (UPN), United People's Air Defense Force (UPADF), and the Civil Defense. The Ministry of State Security (MGB) and Provincial Police Force were both under the jurisdiction of the United Provincial People's Army until 1945. The UPRZ maintained a strong military force with 800,000 active personnel and nearly two million in reserves. The UPGF and MGB were generally favoured among the branches by UPRZ bureaucrats opening them up to higher funding an a larger amount of manpower. was heavily enforced by the UPRZ.

Task and command structure
Under constitution and laws of the UPRZ, the United Provincial People's Army was part of the armed forces together with the Territorial Defense as joint armed forces of all people and minority and all working people and citizens of the UPRZ.

The main task of the UPPA was to "Work in coordination with the Territorial Defense as part of armed forces to protect independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and social organization of the United Provinces of Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia."

The Commissar of the UPRZ was supreme commander of the armed forces and in command of the UPPA, some task from presidency could be given through the secretary of defense. The secretary of defense was the officer with the highest military rank that could command armed forces of the UPRZ including the UPPA and Territorial Defense. While the Commissar of the UPRZ was under the constitution the supreme commander of armed forces that included the UPPA and TD and could also pass some of his duties as supreme commander to the secretary of defense. They had the power to give highest military ranks such as general or admiral and to promote or relive the highest military officers. The Chief of Staff of UPPA, in case that Secretary of defense was prevented or absent to do his function, was formally his deputy and could take command of the armed forces. In 1987 under the decree of the Commissar of the UPRZ, General Staff of the UPRZ was renamed into the General Staff of the Armed forces of UPRZ thus giving effectively command of the UPPA to one military body in order to effectively command with armed forces in case of war according to law of "All-peoples defense" from 1982. However in 1994 this was abolished by Dirkiv Tochinki and supreme power restored to the Commissar of the UPRZ.

Organization of the United People's Ground Forces
Much like the Teuton Volksheer the UPGF was organized into 9 military districts, each district is responsible for an area of defense. There also were separate brigades, regiments, and battalions from heavy rocket artillery, motorized infantry, special forces to more logistical support like radiological and nuclear response, medical, transportation and train units. After 1955, some UPGF rifle divisions were converted to mechanised divisions. From 1959, all rifle and mechanised divisions became "motorised rifle divisions" (MRDs). These divisions usually had approximately 12,000 soldiers organized into three motor rifle regiments, a tank regiment, an artillery regiment, an air defense regiment, surface-to-surface missile and antitank battalions, and supporting chemical, engineer, signal, reconnaissance, and rear services companies. A typical tank division had some 10,000 soldiers organized into three tank regiments and one motorized rifle regiment, all other sub-units being same as the MRD.
