However, the effectiveness of its operations was hampered by the influence of brahmin barons. Organized into regular Army divisions and battalions, specialist units like a sharpshooter-skirmisher battalion, and additional Ranger battalions, the NCRA has thousands of troops at its disposal, enough to absorb the continued loss of one thousand troops each year in the Mojave Campaign alone and still retain operational capability.
īy 2281, the NCRA was the single largest military force in the wasteland, rivaled only by Caesar's Legion. Other notable campaigns that shaped the modern NCR Army were the removal of long-standing raider tribes such as the Vipers and the Jackals at Owen's Lake in 2269, the Brotherhood War that raged from the late 2250s/early 2260s for over two decades, and the confrontation at Hoover Dam in 2277, commonly known as the First Battle of Hoover Dam. Soldiers of the army distinguished themselves, including future President Aaron Kimball. In 2253, the retaliatory Pacification of the Mojave was carried out by an overwhelming force of three battalions, in a protracted war that lasted seventeen years. Following the death of President Tandi, it has also became an instrument of expansion, further developing its numbers. The Army has continued to grow and serve NCR's interests, securing its expansion and protecting territories under its control. Decades of fighting an asymmetric war against them turned the Army into a powerful instrument of foreign policy.
Until the containment operations against the Enclave at Navarro, following the destruction of their capital and headquarters, the Army's primary foes were raiders, such as the Fiends, Vipers, and Great Khans. The New California Republic Rangers, originally an independent paramilitary force, were incorporated into the military in subsequent decades, becoming an indispensable element of its operations. The origins of the army are not detailed, but by 2241 it was the largest standing army in New California, composed of several divisions, including special (mechanized) cavalry and other mechanized units.
