The '''Empire of the Tao Armed Forces''', commonly referred to as the '''Taoist Armed Forces''' and '''Imperial Taoist Armed Forces''', are the unified military forces of the [[Empire of the Tao]] which were established in 1928, and are controlled by the Defense Chancellory's Office, or "DCO". In recent years they have been engaged in international humanitarian efforts and participated in the recent civil uprising in 2017. New military guidelines, announced in February 2018, will direct the TAF away from its Isolationist, and purely defense focus, towards a more international, responsive focus.

History

1863-1947 (1st Empire)

On February 19, 1863, Emperor Shingo had entered into a war of succession against the Englean Kaiserreich. During this time, Emperor Shingo was responsible for establishing the Imperial Taoist Armed Forces, the Imperial Taoist Army, and the Imperial Taoist Navy.

In 1914, the Empire joined the Allied Powers in World War I, as the Armed Forces occupied several Ventismarian Colonial states in Ophion.

1948-2018 (UST)

After World War II, the Empire of the Tao was split up into multiple occupation zones, the main ones being controlled by the Englean Kaiserreich and Rhodevus. These zones would last into 1948 and during this time the nations controlling the zones were responsible for the defense of the Tao until the government of the United States of the Tao was fully organized.

2019-present (2nd Empire)

On May 16, 2019, Sora Miroyu, the Prime Chancellor at the time, had constitutionally dissolved the House of Chancellors and was coronated as Empress of the Tao. With the Empire of the Tao having been restored, the Branches of the military were renamed, but few changes to the daily operations of the Armed Forces were made.

Structure

The Empress is the Commander-in-Chief of the Taoist Armed Forces and is the highest authority in the Armed Forces.

The Royal Military Councillor is the highest authority in all military matters, aside from the Empress, and is appointed to the position by the Empress. The Royal Military Councillor is assisted by the Royal Military Advisor, who is also appointed by the Empress. These two positions primarily advise the Empress on defense matters, such as appointing the head commanders in each military organization and proving estimations on domestic and international military capabilities.

One of the only large changes when Empire was restored on May 16, 2019, was the addition of one person of military personnel being appointed as the Royal Commander of the Imperial Armed Forces. This person acts as an operational coordinator, collecting information and meeting with the head staff of each branch to create military plans on the largest national scale. While they have considerable power over each of the branches, most daily administration and planning is reserved for each branch's Royal Commander.

Contoversy

EMP development program

On August 7th, 2017, the United States of the Tao began testing of a new ship-launched EMP device, which had the potential to wipe out all electronics within a 20-mile radius, just 400 miles off the coast of Sunrisia. The test was ordered by the short-lived nationalist-lead government and attracted condemnation from many nations around the world, including countries like Rezua, and Pantorrum.
