Ovelsser (sp?). I think he was commander of the Grenadiers. As somebody
else mentioned the Rosen Ritters are also a ground force. Technically they
could be Marines though, as opposed to Army units, but nontheless they
were ground forces.
I don't think though anybody said there were no ground forces- just that
what we would think to be the "Navy" (i.e. the ships) is called the Army
in LoGH.

The Empire landed their ships on planets all the time. One example is the
episode (13 or 14) where they land on the planet (can't remember which guy
though) to evacuate the food supplies before the FPA could take the
planet.
I also seem to remember a scene where FPA ships were launching from the
surface of Heinssen. (when they embarked on the invasion of the Empire)
Did I just misremember?
