First Order army

"You presume to command my army?"

- General Armitage Hux, to Kylo Ren

The Army was the ground-based service branch of the First Order military. Formed from the previous Imperial Army of the Galactic Empire, it would be responsible for maintaining order throughout First Order space and the gradual conquest and colonization of the Unknown Regions.

History
Following the defeat of the Galactic Empire at the Battle of Jakku and its surrender with the signing of the Galactic Concordance, the First Order and its military eventually formed in the Unknown Regions where it plotted its eventual return to power. The First Order's Army was descended from the Imperial Army, which served as the ground forces of the "Old Empire." The Army was responsible for enforcing order throughout First Order space and the colonization of the Unknown Regions.

During the cold war, the stormtroopers of the First Order's army saw action against the Resistance on various locations and operations including Ovanis, Spalex, the search for Lor San Tekka, and the quelling of the strike at Pressy's Tumble. In 34 ABY, First Order stormtroopers were also deployed during the attack on Tuanul and the search for the map that lead to Luke Skywalker. The First Order's army was led by General Armitage Hux, who also commanded Starkiller Base.

Substantial First Order army forces including walkers were stationed on the snowy planet, which doubled as a superweapon. The First Order's army and other branches including the First Order Navy were involved in the construction of the massive superweapon. Following the Hosnian Cataclysm, First Order stormtroopers saw action against the Resistance during the Battle of Takodana. The First Order military sustained many casualties during the Battle of Starkiller Base.

During the Battle of Crait, significant First Order ground forces including stormtroopers, snowtroopers, AT-ATs, AT-STs, All Terrain MegaCaliber Six walkers, All Terrain Heavy Haulers, and a Superlaser siege cannon assaulted the Resistance outpost on Crait.
