Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Ground Forces

Common card · No. 210418

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Ground Forces (Persian: نیروی زمینی سپاه پاسداران انقلاب اسلامی, romanized: Niroye Zamini Sepah Pasdaran Enghalab Eslami), acronymed NEZSA (Persian: نزسا), are the ground forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The IRGC Ground Forces are more geared towards internal disorder than the regular Iranian Army. However, in recent years, the IRGC Ground Forces — and by extension the entire IRGC — have transitioned to become an expeditionary force, capable of projecting power abroad through conventional military operations or via proxies and unconventional warfare. There are at least around 150,000 IRGC Ground Force troops. Following this transition, the Ground Forces structure remains focused on brigade levels units, supported by armoured, air support (drone), artillery, intelligence and special forces formations.
