No...but they're still badly organized.
You have feudal peasants who have never seen a gun before fighting alongside elite Cadians fighting alongside WW1 trench tactics soldiers.
There's no unified doctrine, everybody just fights in their own way, and you hope that you get a decent military commander who can make sense out of the clusterfuck. The problem is fundamentally that it's a modern army that's organized along the lines of feudal levies.
