Thought the political landscape has changed significantly in recent history, the AAF can be traced back to the early 19th century when experienced soldiers returning from the first Posolic war were organised into the the Korstazian Colonial Defence Force, the formation of which heralded the devolution of the region as a principality of the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]]. In 1969, the KCDF supported a Noroist coup led by Winston Ulysses which took control of the region, sparking the [[Auroran Imperial War]]. The KCDF 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.
The AAF is considered to be one of Urth's

== 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.
A large fraction of the military budget from each branch is put towards research and development
