Thought the political landscape has changed significantly in recent history, the AAF can be traced back to the early 19th century when [[Great Morstaybishlia]] allowed the newly formed principality of Axdel its own independent military detachment, the Axdelian Defence Force. When Axdel transitioned into becoming a Dominion in 1917, the ADF expanded and was put under the responsibility of the new Axdelian parliament. In 1966, the ADF backed the Noroist coup led by Winston Ulysses which took control of the region, gaining independent but remaining broadly unrecognised as a state. After being reorganised into the Axdelian armed forces, it proved itself as a highly capable force fighting as part of the Ribenstadt pact in the [[Auroran Imperial War]], leading a campaign of total war against Morstaybishlia and their allies. Post-AIW, the AAF played a key role in overthrowing the apartheid government of North Lyrevale during the [[Lyrevale Continuation War]]. During the Axdelian Civil War, the AAF was fractured between loyalty to Admiral [[Huralo Yensi]] and the legislature, but eventually succeeded in forcing him to renounce his leadership and usher in democratic reforms that lead to the end of the war. Since 1996 The armed forces have since 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 largest and most powerfulcapable militaries, 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]]GSSI, and a recent history of largely successful military and humanitarian operations.

=== Expenditure ===
From 1999-2018, the military budget has averaged at approximately 10% of annual government expenditure, before peaking at over 20% in 2017 during the [[Auroran-PacificCerenerian 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, often supporting independent domestic development companies and manufacturers such as [[Sentinel-ARMS]] and National Ballistics Systems.
