The Kushan Empire is a massive kingdom ruled by Emperor Ganishka and a villainous force in the Berserk manga/anime series. They possess a powerful military and are in a conflict with Midland and the Holy See for control of the realm.
Its military combines large, well-organized conventional forces with various supernatural creatures and human magic-users. It is currently engaged in a protracted war with the allied nations under the Holy See Religious Order, having invaded and occupied much of Midland. One key factor in in the success of their military campaigns iso the country's policy of using war slaves and captured soldiers from enemy armies compelled to fight for the Kushan as cannon fodder to bear the brunt of the casualtie.

The Kushan's strongest human forces consist of their large cavalry and many war elephants their divisions consist of several hundred horsemen, they also have armored cavalry and war elephants. They use the Bakiraka clan as scout units that move in large forces and have many archers in the supply lines. At least one Kushan officer attributes their country’s success in protracted military campaigns, such as the current conflict with Midland, to the country's policy of using war slaves and captured soldiers from enemy armies forced to fight for the Kushan as cannon fodder to bear losses. They also developed war machines such as tiger cannons, siege towers and a movable palace surrounded by imperial guards.
