Achkland Republican Armed Forces

The Achkland Republican Armed Forces or ARAF is the military service of the United Republic of Achkland. The ARAF is broken into three branches: The Republican Army, Republican Air Force, Republican Navy, and Republican Marine Corps. The ARAF as a whole answers to the Achkland Security Ministry and is bound by oath to follow the Haikade as commander in chief, or the Stateminister when delegated by the Haikade. The ARAF is an all volunteer force with provisions for a draft in place only during times of great emergency, though historically this has never taken place.

The ARAF handles a variety of different mission sets ranging from internal security, anti-terrorism, and expeditionary force projection. Achkland is one of the top spenders on defense by percent of GDP, spending 4% of the yearly gross domestic product on it's military. Because of this the ARAF is ell equipped with some of the latest equipment and gear in the world. Training is also a large focus for the all volunteer force, with both combat and trade-craft emphasized in its core development of it's soldiers.
