The Ground Forces Command (GROFORCOM), also known informally as the Imperial Army, is the main branch of the Barrayaran Imperial Service responsible for land-based military operations. It is the largest and oldest established branch of the Barrayaran military: while the Ground Forces in their present form are about one hundred years old, Barrayaran officers trace their antecedents' history through the Imperial Army era back to the time of very early planetary militias. Basics of the organization can be sumarizable into a core-concept, imposed by the relatively low population: relatively few units, but most of them highly trained. In Barrayar, soldiers can be employed in aiding the government by suppressing demonstrations and riots organised by dangerous political movements. Barrayaran troo

| - The Ground Forces Command (GROFORCOM), also known informally as the Imperial Army, is the main branch of the Barrayaran Imperial Service responsible for land-based military operations. It is the largest and oldest established branch of the Barrayaran military: while the Ground Forces in their present form are about one hundred years old, Barrayaran officers trace their antecedents' history through the Imperial Army era back to the time of very early planetary militias. Basics of the organization can be sumarizable into a core-concept, imposed by the relatively low population: relatively few units, but most of them highly trained. In Barrayar, soldiers can be employed in aiding the government by suppressing demonstrations and riots organised by dangerous political movements. Barrayaran troops may take part in the suppression of the occasional serious revolts on Sergyar and Komarr. In order to prevent the Ground Forces line units to become an hated target, the Internal Troops are used for non-disastrous events. The incumbent Chief of the Ground Forces Staff is General Etienne Adamamelon.
