The Black Guards of Talahara emerged as one of the major revolutionary factions during the [[Talaharan Revolution]]. In 1836, sympathetic elements of the Royal Talaharan Army defected to the Communard cause after the execution of the Assembly of Chiefs and formed the Central Commune Army. However, the majority of Communard fighters were untrained, local militias who took up the black banner of the revolution. So-called Black Guards were decentralized, organized at a local level, and coordinated democratically. As the conflict progressed, most units relied on directives or services directly offered to the Commune Council.
At the conclusion of the Revolution, the Central Commune Army was disbanded owing to concerns that it could exert undue influence over the nascent Talaharan Commune. The Black Guards remained the only military body of the Commune until the consolidation of the Talaharan Navy in 1845. Both the Black Guards and the Talaharan Navy were renamed the Black Guard Corps and the Talaharan Navy Corps, respectively, in 1853. In 1854, the Talaharan Army Corps was founded as a professional standing army to supplement the Black Guards, largely as a response to tensions over the Protectorate of Tarshish which remained occupied by [[Yisrael]] since the Talaharan Revolution.
The first major direct operation conducted by the Talaharan Army Corps was the Annexation of Amara, known as the Invasion of the Timna Strip in Yisrael. Seizing on the weakness of the Kingdom of Yisrael in the direct aftermath of the [[West_Scipian_Wars#Second_West_Scipian_War_.281915-1918.2|Second West Scipian War]], Talaharan forces quickly invaded and consolidated control over Amara, an oil-rich region that was home to a population of Kel Hadar and Kel Tenere peoples living under Yisraeli rule. The rapid invasion was a major success, with few engagements or casualties before the region was formally conceded. While Talahara was regarded at the time as an entrenched syndicalist fortress-state, contemporary foreign analysts had largely dismissed the Commune's power to project and the ability of its professional forces.
Developments in airpower beyond reconnaissance aircraft and dirigibles led to the creation of the Talaharan Air Corps in 1922.

===TCDF Navy Corps===
===TCDF Navy Corps===
The Messidorian Navy Corps was formally established in 1839 and, unlike the Army Corps, had no effective predecessor. The first warships in 50 years were laid down in Aɣmatia shortly after. At present, the Navy Corps has 75 active warships in addition to several support vessels. The Periclean Fleet, the largest organizational unit of the corps, is headquartered in Port Isadore in Merovia, but the Union's shipbuilding industry is still largely based on Aɣmatia's coasts. Despite being generally restricted to the Periclean, the Navy Corps is effectively a blue water navy.

===TCDF Air Corps===
The most recent branch of the Messidorian Armed Forces is the Messidorian Air Corps. Founded in 1920 after the Annexation of the Timna Strip, the Air Corps primarily provided aerial reconnaissance. Over the next few decades, the role and capabilities of military aircraft rapidly evolved. At present, the Air Corps is the only branch of service to maintain an active reserve force, owing in part to the amount of training required to operate and maintain a fleet of aircraft. The Air Corps is organized across two wings and includes several hundred aircraft. Any aircraft seconded to the Army or Navy Corps are provided and operated by the Air Corps. In addition to its military roles, the Air Corps also provides search and rescue and emergency airlift services. Many of these additional functions are performed by reservist members.

The Talaharan Commune Defense Forces, (TCDF; Takelat: Išašhatin I’Harb N'Jamaɣa N'Talahara; ⵉⵛⴰⵛⵀⴰⵜⵉⵏ ⵉ’ⵀⴰⵔb ⵏ'ⵊⴰⵎⴰⵖⴰ ⵏ'ⵜⴰlⴰⵀⴰⵔⴰ) are the unified armed forces of the Talaharan Commune. The TCDF is made up of four components: the Army Corps, Air Corps, Navy Corps, and the Black Guard Corps. The TCDF is headed by the Executor of Defense of the Executive Council and governed by the Defense Committee, a group of senior military representatives and civilian oversight agents.

The legally authorized maximum size of the TCDF is 275,000 members across all four components. In practice, the total size is less than 260,000 members. The three main professional components are the Army, Air, and Navy Corps. The Black Guard Corps is an irregular force of local militias. While ostensibly independent, the Black Guards are trained by and coordinate with the Army Corps.

History

The Black Guards of Talahara emerged as one of the major revolutionary factions during the Talaharan Revolution. In 1836, sympathetic elements of the Royal Talaharan Army defected to the Communard cause after the execution of the Assembly of Chiefs and formed the Central Commune Army. However, the majority of Communard fighters were untrained, local militias who took up the black banner of the revolution. So-called Black Guards were decentralized, organized at a local level, and coordinated democratically. As the conflict progressed, most units relied on directives or services directly offered to the Commune Council.

At the conclusion of the Revolution, the Central Commune Army was disbanded owing to concerns that it could exert undue influence over the nascent Talaharan Commune. The Black Guards remained the only military body of the Commune until the consolidation of the Talaharan Navy in 1845. Both the Black Guards and the Talaharan Navy were renamed the Black Guard Corps and the Talaharan Navy Corps, respectively, in 1853. In 1854, the Talaharan Army Corps was founded as a professional standing army to supplement the Black Guards, largely as a response to tensions over the Protectorate of Tarshish which remained occupied by Yisrael since the Talaharan Revolution.

The first major direct operation conducted by the Talaharan Army Corps was the Annexation of Amara, known as the Invasion of the Timna Strip in Yisrael. Seizing on the weakness of the Kingdom of Yisrael in the direct aftermath of the Second West Scipian War, Talaharan forces quickly invaded and consolidated control over Amara, an oil-rich region that was home to a population of Kel Hadar and Kel Tenere peoples living under Yisraeli rule. The rapid invasion was a major success, with few engagements or casualties before the region was formally conceded. While Talahara was regarded at the time as an entrenched syndicalist fortress-state, contemporary foreign analysts had largely dismissed the Commune's power to project and the ability of its professional forces.

Developments in airpower beyond reconnaissance aircraft and dirigibles led to the creation of the Talaharan Air Corps in 1922.
