===Empire and the Great War===
Since the [[Great Morstaybishlia#Union of the Thrones|Union of the Thrones]] in 1515, the armed forces of Staynes and Caltharus combined to form the armed forces of Morstaybishlia.
During the later half of the seventeenth century, and in particular, throughout the eighteenth century, Morstaybishlian foreign policy sought to contain the expansion of rival [[Aurora|Auroran]] powers through military, diplomatic and commercial means – especially of its chief competitors; [[Ethalria]], [[Salovia]] and [[Oscrelia]]. This saw Morstaybishlia engage in a number of intense conflicts over colonial possessions and world trade, including a long string of Morsto-Ethalrian and Morsto-Salovian wars.
The naval arms race between Morstopackia and its rivals, [[Asendavia]], [[Vekaiyu]] and those in Aurora plunged the world into the [[Great War]]. The war ended in a stalemate, and led Morstopackia to break apart. Morstaybishlia entered a 52 year era of relative peacetime before the next big war would begin.
===Auroran Imperial War===
Once again, tensions accumulated in Auroran relations, and by the turn of the 70s the Auroran Imperial War began. This time, Morstaybishlia lost a considerable part of its territory to the militaristic [[Norograd]] state which succeeded the Kormistazic principality and which had been boiling over since the Great War. Through concerted efforts of naval, ground and stealth aircraft supremacy, Morstaybishlia managed to regain control over the Caltharusian lands east of the Ider river known as 'Marislia' which Ethalria had seized in the Great War.
A period of geopolitical tension between Norograd and Morstaybishlia and their respective allies began immediately following the Auroran Imperial War, and lasted until the dissolution of Norograd in 1996. There was no large-scale fighting directly between the two powers, but they engaged in proxy wars such as the Lyrevale Civil War.
===Auroran Pacific War===
Morstaybishlian and Ethalrian tensions skyrocketed in 2017, and with the death of [[Prince Thadeus|Crown Prince Thadeus]], Morstaybishlia declared war on Ethalria. Ethalria, who had fragmented into two differing nations after the Auroran Imperial War had declared an allegiance alongside Stratarin and Kostromastan. Morstaybishlia held an emergency meeting and allied with the [[Nation/The Oan Isles|the Oan Isles]], [[Axdel]] and other nations. The war lasted for nearly six months, and ended with a successful siege of Ribenstadt and the Axis Instrument of Surrender.
==Today==
===Command organisation===
As Sovereign and head of state, [[Lambertus VII|King Lambertus VII]] is Head of the RAFOTE and their Commander-in-Chief. Long-standing constitutional convention, however, has vested ''de facto'' executive authority, by the exercise of Royal Prerogative powers, in the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State for Defence, and the Prime Minister (acting with the support of the Cabinet) makes the key decisions on the use of the armed forces. The sovereign, however, remains the ultimate authority of the military, with officers and personnel swearing allegiance to the monarch.
The Defence Ministry is the Government department and highest level of military headquarters charged with formulating and executing defence policy for the RAFOTE. The department is controlled by the Secretary of State for Defence and contains three deputy appointments: Minister of State for the Armed Forces, Minister for Defence Procurement, and Minister for Veterans' Affairs. Responsibility for the management of the forces is delegated to a number of committees: the Defence Council, Chiefs of Staff Committee, Defence Management Board and three single-service boards. The Defence Council, composed of senior representatives of the services and the Defence Ministry, provides the "formal legal basis for the conduct of defence". The three constituent single-service committees (Admiralty Board, Army Board and Air Force Board) are chaired by the Secretary of State for Defence.
The Chief of the Defence Staff is the professional head of the armed forces and is an appointment that can be held by an Admiral, Air Chief Marshal or General. Those who were appointed to the position of CDS had been elevated to the most senior rank in their respective service (a 5-star rank). The CDS, along with the Permanent Under Secretary, are the principal advisers to the departmental minister. The three services have their own respective professional chiefs: the First Sea Lord, the Chief of the General Staff and the Chief of the Air Staff.
==Personnel==
The total personnel (including reserve) of the RAFOTE is 4.555 million. The force works alongside the daughter Royal Colonial Forces of the Empire (RCFOTE) which has a total personnel (including reserve) of 795,666. Combined, the total personnel (including reserve) is 5.351 million. The Royal Colonial Forces of the Empire generally don't merge statistics with the Royal Armed Forces of the Empire.
4.555 million personnel make up 0.95% of the total population of Great Morstaybishlia. There are 2.743 million active personnel which makes up 60.2% of the armed forces. There are 1.812 million reserve personnel which makes up the other 39.8% of the armed forces.
==Defence expenditure==
Great Morstaybishlia has the largest defence budget in the world, above [[South Hills]] and [[Packilvania]]. It spends annually between 3 and 4 percent, although in FY 2019-20, the budget was at 4 percent, or $577.4 billion. The Cabinet announced that in the 2020-21 fiscal year the budget will remain the same percentage.
