Since its foundation, its principal adversary has been the Estovakian Imperial Armed Forces (1718~1921), and its successors the People's Army of Estovakia (1921~1991) and the Estovakian Armed Forces (1991~present). The presence of such a large ground force on its northern border and the presence of Yuktobania to the south has forced the Emmerian Armed Forces to retain conscription (with alternate service options) to this day. Most conscripts serve for at least 3 years in the reserve forces, with some opting for a shorter and continuous active-duty service period.
Since the end of the Second Global War, its principal adversary has been the armed forces of Yuktobania.


In 2019 the United Kingdom of Emmeria spent a total of $277.2 billion on defense, equivalent to 3.34% of GDP. Emmeria has 798,800 active military personnel and 1,373,200 reserve personnel. Due to consistent investment in training, equipment and technology, along with the world's second largest economy and third largest defense budget, Emmeria possesses one of the most powerful armed forces in Altereal.

Due to consistent investment in training, equipment and technology, along with the world's third largest economy (behind Osea and the FCU) and third largest defense budget (behind Osea and Yuktobania), Emmeria possesses one of the most powerful armed forces in Altereal.

The [[Emmerian Army]] (established in 1540) is the largest branch of the Emmerian Armed Forces, with 503,000 active and 1,273,900 reserve personnel. It has the highest percentage of conscripts out of all the major branches, especially in (reserve) light infantry formations. However it retains a highly trained and experienced cadre of commissioned and non-commissioned officers, along with various specialized units.
The [[Emmerian Army]] (established in 1560) is the largest branch of the Emmerian Armed Forces, with 387,700 active and 722,200 reserve personnel. It is formed around highly trained active (regular) forces, with reserve forces to be called up in military emergencies.


The army operates 3,150 tanks, 9,913 armored fighting vehicles, over 5,500 artillery pieces and 1,431 helicopters. Its personnel and equipment are organised into four field armies, which are divided into corps, divisions and brigades. There are a total of 23 active division (8 armored, 5 mechanized, 2 mountain, 1 airborne and 1 air assault) and 9 reserve force commands (with brigades, regiments and district defense commands), which assume the role of divisions in wartime. 6 active and 5 reserve combat aviation brigades support land forces at the corps level.
