The Battle of Posada depicted in Chronica Hungarorum (1488)
The military of Wallachia existed throughout the history of the country. Starting from its founding to 1860, when it was united with the Moldavian army into what would become the Romanian Army.[1]
The army mainly consisted of light cavalry which was used in hit-and-run tactics, though various other units existed as well.[2][3] Between the 16th and 18th centuries, the army was mostly formed from mercenary units.[4] In 1830, following the Organic Regulation, the standing army of Wallachia was created.[5][6]

The Wallachian fleet used riverboats of various sizes between the 15th and 17th centuries. In 1794, a small flotilla was created with the approval of The Porte.[7] After the regulations of 1830, a military flotilla was created as well.[8]
