Tanks have always played an integral role in the army, often operating independently and forming combat groups at regimental level and above. With its economic might the Lyran Alliance can produce combat vehicles in large quantities. All units fall in one of three categories: Sturmregimenter, Kampfregimenter, or Aufklärungsregimenter.

The common trooper is the largest portion of the regular army. The LCAF provides the soldier with some of the best equipment, because they hold the life of the trooper in high regard which needs sufficient protection.<ref name=TRO3085p202-203>''Technical Readout: 3085'', pp. 202–203: "Special Infantry"</ref> Through the seasoned cooperation with the AFFS and the change in warfare to conventional forces, LCAF Generals invest extensive resources into the development project. The standard personal armor kit of the LCAF is more expensive than other IS kits, but provides better protection, and the electronic equipment is of the highest level.<ref>''A Time of War'', p. 293</ref> Better trained and equipped soldiers can stand against any threat. A famed unit is the [[Heavy Infantry|Heavy Urban Response Platoon, 608th Lyran MTR, Third Lyran Guards]]. This unit can bring down a light 'Mech in one salvo with their heavy weapons.<ref name=TRO3085p202-203/> The high command divides soldiers into 6 categories: Foot, Jump, Motorized, Mechanized, Special Forces, and Battle Armor.

The results were the [[Fenrir]] (with 7 variants) and the [[Rottweiler]]. During the Jihad new tactics were developed.
