The Royal Gristo-Serkonan Armed Forces are the professional military services responsible for the defence of Gristol-Serkonos.

The military consists of six primary commands: the Gristo-Serkonan Army, the land warfare branch, the Royal Gristo-Serkonan Air Force, a technologically sophisticated air force with a diverse operational fleet consisting of both fixed-wing and rotary aircraft, the Royal Gristo-Serkonan Navy, a green-water fleet consisting of 72 commissioned ships with the Royal Gristo-Serkonan Marines providing the amphibious warfare capability, the Strategic Arms Operations Group, which handles the country's unconventional arsenal, the Health Services Command, and the Gristo-Serkonan Coast Guard.

Its Commander-in-Chief are the monarchs of Gristol-Serkonos, currently Queen Anna III and Grand Duke Tehwehron, to whom the members of the armed forces swear allegiance. Long-standing constitutional convention however has vested executive authority, by prerogative, in the Chancellor and the Minister of Defence. The constitution also allows for the monarchs to remains the supreme authority of the military and can override the authority of the Chancellor and the Minister of Defence.

The armed forces are managed by the National Defence Council of the Office of National Defence, headed by the Minister of Defence.

History

Unification

Following the election of the first Federal government in 1867, the Gristol Forsvaret and the Serkonan Ducal Army, the two militaries of the Kingdom of Gristol and the Grand Duchy of Serkonos were merged.

Modern Developments

The modern day RGSAF military is styled after modern western military systems. Historically, it had a political warfare branch known as the Military Inquisition that tightly controls and monitors each level of the military, and reports directly to the Armed Forces Defence Council, and if necessary, directly to the civilian-led National Defence Council. This is a carryover from the post-1920 revolts, when the Parliament and its army were penetrated by rebel agents repeatedly and led to front-line units defecting to rebel-held areas. To strengthen their control over the military and prevent massive defection, the Armed Forces Defence Council and the NDC exercised tight control over the military, by installing political officers and commissioners down to the company level, in order to ensure political correctness in the military and loyalty toward United Kingdom's leadership. This gave the political officers a great deal of power, allowing them to overrule the unit commander and take over the unit.

Following the 2004 Defence and National Security reforms, the Military Inquisition was reorganized into a military-civilian department within the National Office of Defence dedicated to the expeditious handling of misinformation. The Inquisition uses big data systems analysis in its efforts to understand and counter disinformation campaigns from Wazheganon in real time. The 2004 reform also saw the reduction of control of the civilian defense minister and much of the powers were distributed among the members of National Defence Council. It also led to the inclusion of the Chancellor as part of the decision making process of the Council.

Defence Policy

The primary goal of the RGSAF is to provide a credible deterrent against hostile action by establishing effective counterstrike and high-tech defence capabilities. Should hostilities occur, current RGSAF doctrine centres upon the principle of "distanced engagement" where the primary goal of the armed forces in any conflict with the hostile power would be to keep as much of the fighting away from mainland proper for as long as possible to minimize damage to infrastructure and civilian casualties. The principle of distanced engagement also puts an emphasis on the logistics side of the military. In times of war, the Office of Defence can call upon civilian companies to reinforce the existing supply lines.

Military expenditures

The constitution of Gristol-Serkonos gives the federal government exclusive responsibility for national defence, and expenditures are thus outlined in the federal budget. In 2020-21 fiscal year, the amount allocated to defence spending was $59.6 billion.

Gristo-Serkonan Coast Guard

The Gristol-Serkonan Coast Guard is tasked with marine search and rescue, communications, navigation, and transportation issues in Gristo-Serkonan waters, such as navigation aids and icebreaking, marine pollution response. Unlike traditional armed coast guards fielded by other nations, the RSCG is a government marine organization without naval or law enforcement responsibilities. Naval operations in Gristol-Serkonos waters is the responsibility of the Royal Gristo-Serkonan Navy. The GSCG is also able to operate its vessels in support of naval operations or serve in the deployment of maritime law enforcement and security services in Gristo-Serkonan waters.

The GSCG's responsibility encompasses the country's x-km long coastline.

The coast guard operates 120 vessels, 22 rotary-wing aircraft and 8 fixed-wing aircraft. The organization is a special operating agency jointly-governed by the Office of National Defence and of the Office of Fisheries and Oceans.
