United Provincial People's Army

Before the civil war the UPRZ had around 700,000 active personnel and the ability to call up around a million reserves. This massive military was very expensive to upkeep and assisted in the UPRZ's downfall. The UPRZ's military was known as the Rovski-Zaporizhian Proletariat Army until 1935 when it became the United Provincial People's Army.

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.
