What are the relative numbers of the army troops to those of the (now reduced) IRGC? In particular, I wonder what is the makeup of the various forces in terms of equipment, leadership, organization and training?

IOW, does the regular army have much of a chance in face-to-face combat.

As far as pure numbers they have about double of the troops than IRGC.
But they are just draftees, badly trained and badly armed.
Will see how this sorts out.

Sharpen the ends of the broom sticks that you re forced to train with and bum rush the URGC.

3:1 Artesh to IRGC

Regular army is much larger.
