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 Ribenstadt 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 the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]] granted 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 1969, the ADF supported a Noroist coup led by Winston Ulysses which took control of the region, sparking the [[Auroran Imperial War]]. After being reorganised into the Axdel armed forces by Kiet Narvga, it proved itself as a highly capable force fighting alongside other Ribenstadt pact states, and was key in guaranteeing the independence of Noroist Axdel. 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.
