The '''Axdel Armed Forces''' serves as the military of [[Axdel]], tasked with defence of the country, global peacekeeping, humanitarian aid, and to promote the wider interests of the nation. It is a highly capable force with modern, sophisticated equipment, renown standards of training and a flexible yet powerful combat doctrine.
The '''Axdelian Armed Forces''' serves as the military of [[Axdel]], tasked with defence of the country, global peacekeeping, humanitarian aid, and to promote the wider interests of the nation. It is a highly capable force with modern, sophisticated equipment, renown standards of training and a flexible yet powerful combat doctrine.


Thought the political landscape has changed significantly in recent history, the AAF can be traced back to the early 19th century when soldiers returning from the first Posolic war were organised into the the Korstazian Regional Defence Force, the formation of which heralded the devolution of the region as a principality of the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]]. In 1969, the KRDF supported a Noroist coup led by Winston Ulysses which took control of the region, sparking the [[Auroran Imperial War]]. The KRDF was reorganised as the Norogradian Armed Forces and proved itself as a highly capable force fighting alongside other Rivendale pact states, and was key in guaranteeing the independence of Norograd. Since the Formation of Axdel in 1996, the armed forces have adopted an active and cooperative stance on the global theatre with Axdel as a founding member of the [[IRSA]] and supporting their peacekeeping efforts.
Thought the political landscape has changed significantly in recent history, the AAF can be traced back to the early 19th century when [[Great Morstaybishlia]] allowed the newly formed principality of Axdel its own independent military detachment, the Axdelian Defence Force. When Axdel transitioned into becoming a Dominion in 1917, the ADF expanded and was put under the responsibility of the new Axdelian parliament. In 1966, the ADF backed the Noroist coup led by Winston Ulysses which took control of the region, gaining independent but remaining broadly unrecognised as a state. After being reorganised into the Axdelian armed forces, it proved itself as a highly capable force fighting as part of the Ribenstadt pact in the [[Auroran Imperial War]], leading a campaign of total war against Morstaybishlia and their allies. Post-AIW, the AAF played a key role in overthrowing the apartheid government of North Lyrevale during the [[Lyrevale Continuation War]]. During the Axdelian Civil War, the AAF was fractured between loyalty to Admiral [[Huralo Yensi]] and the legislature, but eventually succeeded in forcing him to renounce his leadership and usher in democratic reforms that lead to the end of the war. Since 1996 The armed forces have since adopted an active and cooperative stance on the global theatre with Axdel as a founding member of the [[IRSA]] and supporting their peacekeeping efforts.


The AAF is considered to be one of Urth's largest and most powerful militaries, with a defence budget of ♅82.5 billion kiribs accounting for 2% of the nations nominal GDP, the ability to project power across much of the globe, a robust intelligence and counterintelligence service supported by the [[Secrets and Intelligence Agency|SIA]], and a recent history of largely successful military operations.

=== Expenditure ===
From 1999-2018, the military budget has averaged at approximately 10% of annual government expenditure, before peaking at 15% in 2017 during the [[Auroran-Pacific War]]. Since then, spending has reduced to 8% after a cut intended to divert funding towards infrastructure development and social programs, with the 2021 budget announced at 82.4 Billion Kiribs. Funding is divided between branches based on their needs at the beginning of each fiscal year and may be amended quarterly with changing circumstances.
From 1999-2018, the military budget has averaged at approximately 10% of annual government expenditure, before peaking at over 20% in 2017 during the [[Auroran-Cerenerian War]]. Since then, spending has reduced to 8% after a cut intended to divert funding towards humanitarian aid, rebuilding, infrastructure development and social programs, with the 2021 budget announced at 82.4 Billion Kiribs. Funding is divided between branches based on their needs at the beginning of each fiscal year and may be amended quarterly with changing circumstances.


A large fraction of the military budget from each branch is put towards research and development
A large fraction of the military budget from each branch is put towards research and development, often supporting independent domestic development companies and manufacturers such as [[Sentinel-ARMS]] and National Ballistics Systems.

[[Image:AxdelSoldier.jpg|right|thumb|250px||An Axdelian Army soldier during a training exercise]]The Axdelian Army is the principle land warfare force of the Axdel Armed Forces. The force is primarily tasked with the defence of the nation, though it is well capable of overseas deployment and is an able invasion force through the amphibious arm of the navy.

==Navy==

The Axdelian Navy is the principle sea warfare force of the Axdel Armed Forces. It is divided into three fleets, the surface fleet, the sub-surface fleet, and the logistics fleet. The surface fleet is comprised of surface vessels of the navy, whereas the sub-surface fleet is comprised of the submarines, and the logistics fleet comprised of the axillary support and replenishment ships. The naval air arm consists of two Kalamitas-Class aircraft carriers and

==Air Force==

The Axdel Air force is the principle aerial warfare force of the Axdel Armed Forces. It deploys a diverse range of attack aircraft for combatting enemy aircraft and ground forces. The air force makes ubiquitous use of UCAV's in combat for long-range ground attack missions and reconnaissance, and has very well developed stealth technology for its fighter aircraft.

The Axdelian Armed Forces serves as the military of Axdel, tasked with defence of the country, global peacekeeping, humanitarian aid, and to promote the wider interests of the nation. It is a highly capable force with modern, sophisticated equipment, renown standards of training and a flexible yet powerful combat doctrine.

Thought the political landscape has changed significantly in recent history, the AAF can be traced back to the early 19th century when Great Morstaybishlia allowed the newly formed principality of Axdel its own independent military detachment, the Axdelian Defence Force. When Axdel transitioned into becoming a Dominion in 1917, the ADF expanded and was put under the responsibility of the new Axdelian parliament. In 1966, the ADF backed the Noroist coup led by Winston Ulysses which took control of the region, gaining independent but remaining broadly unrecognised as a state. After being reorganised into the Axdelian armed forces, it proved itself as a highly capable force fighting as part of the Ribenstadt pact in the Auroran Imperial War, leading a campaign of total war against Morstaybishlia and their allies. Post-AIW, the AAF played a key role in overthrowing the apartheid government of North Lyrevale during the Lyrevale Continuation War. During the Axdelian Civil War, the AAF was fractured between loyalty to Admiral Huralo Yensi and the legislature, but eventually succeeded in forcing him to renounce his leadership and usher in democratic reforms that lead to the end of the war. Since 1996 The armed forces have since adopted an active and cooperative stance on the global theatre with Axdel as a founding member of the IRSA and supporting their peacekeeping efforts.

The AAF is considered to be one of Urth's largest and most capable militaries, with a defence budget of ♅82.5 billion Kiribs accounting for 2% of the nations nominal GDP, the ability to project power across much of the globe, a robust intelligence and counterintelligence service supported by the GSSI, and a recent history of largely successful military and humanitarian operations.

History

Present day

Expenditure

From 1999-2018, the military budget has averaged at approximately 10% of annual government expenditure, before peaking at over 20% in 2017 during the Auroran-Cerenerian War. Since then, spending has reduced to 8% after a cut intended to divert funding towards humanitarian aid, rebuilding, infrastructure development and social programs, with the 2021 budget announced at 82.4 Billion Kiribs. Funding is divided between branches based on their needs at the beginning of each fiscal year and may be amended quarterly with changing circumstances.

A large fraction of the military budget from each branch is put towards research and development, often supporting independent domestic development companies and manufacturers such as Sentinel-ARMS and National Ballistics Systems.
