The army consisted of chariots, cavalry, infantry, and a fleet. A distinct unit within the army was the "Immortals," the elite squad of the Persian army. Iron sickles, slightly over a meter long, were attached to the axles of the chariots, making them quite formidable weapons. The primary weapons of the cavalry were bows, javelins, and spears (typically one javelin and one spear). The main type of troops in the Persian army was infantry. Infantrymen were divided into slingers, archers, and spearmen. The main weapons of spearmen were spear, sword, and battle axe. In addition to Persians and Medes, the Persian army recruited from subject peoples, with each such military contingent using its own traditional weapons, formations, and tactics. Apparently, many of these contingents included archers.
