A Field Army is the Royal Manticoran Army equivalent of a fleet, consisting of all chapters located in a Military District. The Royal Manticoran Marine Corps equivalent, consisting of all RMMC units located within a Naval District, is the Expeditionary Force.

Each district has a fort headquarters, with the same name as the coterminous fleet (e.g. 2nd Field Army HQ is Fort Gryphon, and 2nd Fleet is known as "Gryphon Fleet.")

The term may also be used as a "Level 4" multi-chapter formation echelon, consisting of a minimum of 16 chapters in a district.[1]

Military Districts

The RMA's operational units are assigned to a numbered army based on their locations. The areas of operation for these numbered armies are coterminous with the areas of the Naval Districts of the RMN.[2] The armies and their headquarters forts are:
