ground force
Soldiers on foot
Ground force refers to military units that operate on land, as opposed to naval or air forces.
The term typically appears in plural: ground forces were deployed to secure the border.
It emphasizes boots-on-the-ground presence rather than remote strikes or naval operations.
In strategic discussions, committing ground forces signals serious military engagement.
