=== Expenditure ===
From 1999-2018, the military budget has averaged at approximately 10% of annual government expenditure, before peaking at 15over 20% in 2017 during the [[Auroran-Pacific War]]. Since then, spending has reduced to 8% after a cut intended to divert funding towards 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, supporting independent domestic development companies and manufacturers such as [[Sentinel-ARMS]] and National Ballistics Systems.

=== Axdelian Army ===
[[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.
 
=== Axdelian Aerospace Force ===
==Navy==
 
=== Axdelian 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 is headed by two Kalamitas-Class aircraft carriers carrying 52 aircraft each, primarily the A-105 raven fighter
 
==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.
