The Pelinese White Army (Pelinese: ペリナイ白軍, Perinai Shirogun), also referred to as the Pelinese Army (ペリナイ陸軍, Perinai Rikugun) or the White Army (白軍, Shirogun), is the land warfare service arm of the Pelinese Armed Forces and is responsible for conducting ground combat operations. It is the largest branch of service under the Pelinese Armed Forces, with approximately 350,000 active duty personnel in 2022.
The Pelinese White Army has existed in various forms since July 9, 1979, when the Army of Pelinese Restoration and the National Revolutionary Brigades merged together shortly after the White Revolution and the outset of the Pelinese Civil War. The Pelinese White Army encompassed all aspects of warfare and functioned as the entire armed forces of the Pelinese Provisional Government until the general Pelinese governmental reorganization of 1983-1984 separated its naval, air, and militia elements into independent branches.

The Pelinese White Army Motor Rifle Corps retains administrative responsibility for the motor rifle formations of the White Army, which are the most numerous of its maneuver formation types and form the core of its land-based conventional combat power. White Army motor rifle formations are heavily mechanized, combining a core infantry component with armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles, extensive organic artillery firepower, and fully towed and self-propelled CS and CSS elements to produce a highly mobile and tactically flexible fighting force capable of achieving rapid breakthroughs and quickly responding to changes in battlefield conditions.
The principal firearm of the Motor Rifle Corps is the APS-17 6.5x50mmSR selective-fire assault rifle, while the standard issue sidearm is the Y93 5.7x28mm semi-automatic pistol. Other firearms carried by infantry personnel include the SVT designated marksman rifle and LPU light machine gun, while vehicle crews are issued the AP-1999 personal defense weapon. Commonly employed vehicles include the T-04 Crusader main battle tank and the ZM97 Paladin infantry fighting vehicle, with support from vehicles such as the LZM-12 reconnaissance vehicle and the LVM-281 military light utility vehicle.
