The Sanpantul Ground Self-Defense Force, also known as SGSDF (Sanpogo: 陸自 Rikuji) in the local language, is the land warfare branch of Sanpantul. It was founded on 1 Liebruary 1674, about a year before the nation officially became a member of the MCS. It is one of the three main branches and the second largest branch.
The SGSDF was restructured after the Sanpo-Çakar War, and many of its commanders were purged from the war. In addition, the army played a major role in the suppression of the Xiangi rebellions in the past. It is still responsible for monitoring the Dromosker movement in Naie. It used to be 150,000 strong, but over time the capacity was reduced to 65,000 due to the excess personnel required. The SGSDF is provided with competent personnel through the Royal Forces Academy. The Village Guards and the Royal Cherkes Brigade and the Special Force Team are sub-paramilitary groups.
