The soldiers of the Cholas generally consisted of two types-the Kaikkolar who were royal troops receiving regular pay from the treasury; and the nattuppadai who were the militia men employed only for local defence. The Kaikkolar comprised infantry, cavalry, elephant corps and navy. The Cholas paid special attention to their navy. The Kaikkolar and the Velaikkarars were the most dependable troops in the royal service whose main responsibility was to defend the king and his subjects. Attention was given to the training of the army and cantonments called kadagams.
