The Ortalyk military is made up of 18 regular divisions, over 500 sea vessels and one special division dubbed The Tsar's Guard. The latter are hand picked soldiers from the other provincial regiments. Provincial divisions are recruited and organized by that province's Boyar, though it is rare for the Boyar to be part of the division. Each division not led by the Boyar is commanded by soldier of the rank of general.

Tsar Batil Zhurek is the commander-in-chief of the Ortalyk military. Being an excellent equestrian himself, he has personally lead charges on the battlefield and the head of his Tsar's Guard cavalry. The recruitment, supply, training and upkeep of all but the Tsar's Guard, are the responsibility of the various provincial boyars. These political leaders sometimes lead their troops into battle and sometimes do not, depending on their personal nature and how they came to be boyar. For each division a boyar recruits, he will appoint a general to lead and manage the division, and most Ortalyk officers will typically look to the general for orders even in the presence of a boyar.
