This article analyzes the military system, troop structure, and strategic approaches of Amir Temur's state. Using Sharafuddin Ali Yazdi's Zafarnama as the primary source, along with other historical-military written records and contemporary research, the internal organization, command hierarchy, combat formations, and military discipline of Amir Temur's forces are examined. Additionally, the article explores the distinctive features of strategic planning, logistical support, and battle tactics employed during Amir Temur's military campaigns. By studying Temur’s military art, insights are gained into the militaryphilosophical thought, innovations in warfare, and factors contributing to political stability in medieval Central Asia.
