The '''Axdel Armed Forces''' serves as the military of [[Axdel]], tasked with defence of the country, global peacekeeping, humanitarian aid, and to promote the wider interests of the nation. It is a highly capable force
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 foremost military powers 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.
