Clan Taldryan's Army Service is an integral part of the Taldryan Security Service.
Information
The Army makes up the the largest part of the Taldryan Security Service, and is responsible for ground-based military operations. It's soldiers are ubiquitous in Taldryan territory, all clan members are very familiar with their black and gray uniforms. Organizationally the service is roughly modeled upon the Imperial Army, however in an appropriately simplified manner. The Army is commanded by Surface Marshall Travik Korr, who reports directly to Taldryan's Consul.
Army/Clan Interaction
The Army service is both independent of, and dependent upon, the Dark Jedi of Clan Taldryan. It's units are made up of entirely non-Jedi personnel and officers, fully capable of operating on their own. However, during large conflicts or particularly important engagements, Clan Jedi may be assigned to embed with individual units to bolster their strength. All Army units rotate through training modules designed to teach them the best ways to fight with Jedi support, and therefore can easily accommodate embedded Clan members.
The Army's officer core retains operational command of all units, regardless of embedded Jedi. While nearly all of the Clan's Jedi have combat skills, most lack essential tactical and strategic training, which is not offered until they have reached a moderately high rank or have specialized in combat command. Embedded Jedi often work with unit commanders during engagements, but they cannot overrule the Army officer's decisions. The Jedi themselves obey their own chain-of-command as set forth in the House and Clan system, and orders from the Clan command supersede Army orders. While seemingly complicated, the highest levels of Clan and Army command have vast experience in coordinating their forces and when they are deployed, Jedi-embedded units have been incredibly successful.

Operational Units
Special Forces
The Special Forces are a group of elite soldiers trained by Taldryan's combat instructors. They are given extensive knowledge in combating the Jedi arts, and are trained to resist most forms of mental control. These soldiers are used by the Clan to carry out the most sensitive missions, usually accompanied by one or more Dark Jedi commander.
