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 soldiersthe returning[[Morstaybishlian Empire]] fromgranted the firstnewly Posolicformed warprincipality wereof organisedAxdel intoits theown theindependent Korstazianmilitary Regionaldetachment, the Axdelian Defence Force,. theWhen formationAxdel oftransitioned whichinto heraldedbecoming thea devolutionDominion ofin 1917, the regionADF asexpanded aand principalitywas put under the responsibility of the [[Morstaybishliannew Empire]]Axdelian parliament. In 1969, the KRDFADF supported a Noroist coup led by Winston Ulysses which took control of the region, sparking the [[Auroran Imperial War]]. TheAfter KRDF wasbeing reorganised asinto the NorogradianAxdel Armedarmed Forcesforces andby Kiet Narvga, it proved itself as a highly capable force fighting alongside other Ribenstadt pact states, and was key in guaranteeing the independence of NorogradNoroist Axdel. SincePost-AIW, the FormationAAF ofplayed Axdela key role in 1996overthrowing 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 kiribsKiribs 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.
