The Boico Liberation Army was the name given to the multinational force deployed to the state of Boico in the winter of 2007, following the latter country's attempted invasion of the Armed Republic of Koenwitz (itself in response to Koenwitzian involvement in Boico's civil war). Primarily Koenwitzian, it was the largest force that country had deployed to a foreign conflict.

The Boico Liberation Army (3rd Koenwitz Expeditionary Force)

The Army was a mixture of units which had been hardened in the Urscreenian War and new units (such as the 11th and 12th Infantry) who had only just finished training at the outbreak of war. The attachment of the 1st Aviation Division caused some consternation in SCREENCOM (the army force in Urscreenhere/Meyerburg) but it was gradually replaced by new units, as the coverage was not needed in Urscreenhere.
