Line 65:
The VDF are divided into three different branches of operation, headed by the General Staff. The General Staff answers to the Ministry of National Defense.
====Volkian Army====
The [[Volkian Army]] is Volkia's military land force. It is principally a {{wp|mechanized infantry}} force, allowing the Army to quickly deploy troops in the Volkian frontier and keep up with armor units during an advance.
The Volkian Army is made up of three components: the active component, the Regular Army; and two reserve components, the Army Home Guard and the Army Reserve. Both reserve components are primarily composed of part-time soldiers who train once a month, known as battle assemblies or unit training assemblies, and conduct two to three weeks of annual training each year. The Volkian Army's main combat forces are grouped in brigades which are further grouped into divisions. Each division falls under a geographically based unified defensive commands. The Army's main tactical formations are combined arms task forces made up of elements drawn from different units.
====Volkian Navy====
The [[Volkian Navy]] is the {{wp|naval branch}} of the VDF. The Volkian Navy operates just over 150 {{wp|Ship_commissioning|commissioned warships}}. Primary assets include 2 {{wp|aircraft carrier|nuclear aircraft carriers}}, 4 {{wp|amphibious assault ships}}, 12 {{wp|air-defense}} destroyers, 10 {{wp|anti-submarine}} destroyers, 10 nuclear attack submarines, 8 ballistic missile submarines, and 21 general purpose frigates. The Navy also maintains a number of non-commissioned vessels. In addition, the Navy maintains a force of combat, logistics, and training helicopters.
There are two parts to the Navy's structure. One is an operational command, Fleet Command, and the other is a support command, Navy Strategic Command. The Navy's assets are administered by four 'forces' which report to the Admiral of the Navy. These are the Fleet Air Arm, the Mine Warfare, Clearance Diving, Hydrographic, Meteorological and Patrol Force, Submarine Force and Surface Force. All naval bases across Volkia also report to the Admiral of the Navy.
====Volkian Air Force====
The [[Volkian Air Force]] (VAF) is the air force branch of the VDF. The VAF has modern {{wp|military aircraft|combat}} and {{wp|cargo aircraft|transport aircraft}} and a network of bases in strategic locations across Volkia.
The VAF has a single operational command, Air Command. Air Command is the operational arm of the VAF and consists of Air Combat Group, Air Mobility Group, Surveillance and Response Group, Combat Support Group, Aerospace Operational Support Group and Air Force Training Group. Each group consists of several wings.
