Aincrad Liberation Force

«Aincrad Liberation Force» is «Sword Art Online»'s largest guild. More commonly known as «The Army», it consists of three thousand players.

The Army's headquarters is at the «Black Iron Castle» of the first floor of Aincrad. It was originally formed by Sinker, but he was overthrown and left in seclusion until he was rescued by «Black Swordsman Kirito», «Asuna the Flash» and Yuriel.

The main function of the Army was originally to clear the game, but it later turned into a organization for maintaining order among players. They were nicknamed the Army after they began to wear uniforms.

History
Formed by Sinker, chief editor of MMO Today, the guild started with the intent on clearing the game in an organized fashion. They followed this goal until they incurred heavy losses on the 25th floor.
