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.
 
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 RivendaleRibenstadt 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.
 
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.
