The [[Packilvanian Armed Forces|'''Packilvanian Armed Forces''']] ([[Packilvanian language|Packilvanian]]: ''LeHagan LeKharish aluBakhilfaniya,'' '''PAF''' or '''LeHAKHABA''') is the military of [[Packilvania]]. It was founded first as the military of the [[Demirite dynasty]] through the absorption of the militaries of the Central Yasterian Kingdoms into the Legion of the Kingdom of [[Fidakar]] by [[Saidun the Conqueror]]. It was taken over by the [[Packilvanian Communist Party]] in 1917 and merged with the Packilvanian Liberation Army (the paramilitary wing of the PCP). The [[Carriers of Mercy]], a charity organization for the rescue and repatriation of humans being persecuted by the Communist regime, had a military component known as the Warriors of Mercy which was merged into the Packilvanian Armed Forces in the 1980s upon the defeat of the Communists by [[Amhoud I]].
It is one of the [[List of countries by military expenditure|largest militaries in the world by budget]], [[Nuclear weapons state|nuclear weapons]], [[List of countries by number of military personnel|manpower]], vehicles, vessels and air craft. Coupled with its chemical and biological weapons programs, it is one of the most powerful militaries in the world. Having fought in war continuously for the better part of the 20th century, it is one of the most battle hardened and formidable militaries in the world.

[[File:Prince Nukan.png|thumb|Prince Nuktan, Chief of the Defence Staff]]
The [[Sultan of Packilvania]] currently [[Thumim V]] is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. All members of the force swear their allegiance to the Sultan. He has the power to declare war and make peace and to raise armies and assume supreme command of all military forces. The [[Prime Minister of Packilvania|Prime Minister]] and the Council of Ministers develop and advise the Sultan on military policy. The Minister of Defence, currently [[Prince Kiran]] a-Idesh Bedon is in charge of the Department of Defence which handles the daily administration of the armed forces. General [[Prince Nukan]] a-Ludan Bedon is the Chief of Defence Staff, the highest ranking military official. The Office of Defence Staff oversees all the military matters of the armed forces. The military is divided into 3 arms: the Packilvanian Air Force, Packilvanian Army and the [[Packilvanian Navy]] led by General Prince Thawak a-Eren Bedon, General Prince Fakil a-Mawad Bedon and Admiral Prince Sahel a-Jubal Bedon.
== Equipment ==
{{Main|Equipment of the Packilvanian Armed Forces}}
Packilvania has two key strengths in its military procurement: highly competitive costs for equipment and long-term military spending. Budgets for projects are allocated over years rather than on an annual basis allowing funding for expenditure on procurement and research and development to be available throughout the product development lifecycle. This has enabled arms manufacturers to have a secure client and to keep laboratories and production lines operational for long periods of time, enabling the development of extremely robust and scalable production lines. With the vast orders that the government makes, the country's arms manufacturers enjoy cost saving capabilities due to the massive economies of scale.
Packilvanian military equipment especially in small arms, artillery and naval vessels is at the standard of Great Morstaybishlia and South Hills. Although the country is half to a third of a generation behind these two powers in the production of fixed wing combat air craft, the country benefits from having a relatively high level of autonomy in the supply of critical parts and components for repairs and upgrades. In the area of military software, Packilvanian military assets are largely if not entirely independent of foreign sources.

The PAF has 2,482,750 active volunteer professional soldiers. The military pays an average wage of 3,360,000 PXD per year which is over 294.4% higher than the GDP per capita. Furthermore, the lowest rung of soldiers earn 105% of the national GDP. This has enabled the military to attract some of the most talented and well educated people in the country. The minimum entrance requirements for a career in the military is a Bachelor of Science degree.
Over 45% of active personnel have a Bachelor of Science degree, 35% have a Master of Science degree, 25% have a Doctoral degree and 5% have a high school diploma. This makes Packilvanian soldiers among the most educated active-duty service-men in the world. the average number of applicants for full-time military posts on an annual basis for the past 10 years has been 1,000,000 applicants per year with an average year-on-year increase of 10%. The military only accepts 30% into its training program and accepts only 7% into its body of active duty service-men annually with the remainder being given the option of service as reserve personnel.
According to the Wallace & Simmonds Center for Defence Research at Shiro Academy suggest that countries such as South Hills have to spent over five times the amount that Packilvania spends in salaries with a budget of only double the amount to attract comparable talent. The Center further noted in its 2015 research study that other countries' militaries must compete with the private sector for candidates while in Packilvania the reverse is true. However this of course means that the military is gaining in talent what other firms in the country are losing.
The population to active personnel ratio in Packilvania is among the lowest of the top 40 countries in active duty personnel. Personnel in Packilvania receive 1 year of pre-military training and another 1 year of military training. The military pays for its personnel to do career development training and further education to improve their skills not merely in combat but in tactical and strategic thinking. Packilvania provides its pilots with over 915 hours on average of flight hours, making Packilvanian pilots highly skilled airmen. Packilvanian pilots are so highly sought after, that commercial airliners often compete for retired airmen with the average starting salary at over 125% of the offers to civilian-trained airmen.
