The Aletian Armed Forces, officially the Imperial Military (Latin: Militari Imperialis, Greek: Βασιλικόν Στρατός), are the armed forces of the Aletian Empire. The Imperial Military is divided into two branches, the Imperial Army, which is responsible for ground operations, and the Imperial Navy, which is responsible for space operations. Supreme command over the Imperial Military is vested in the Sovereign, currently Emperor Romanus I, who holds the unique title of Lord Commander. Operation authority over the Imperial Military proceeds from the Sovereign through the Lord Marshal. The Imperial Military is also the largest military in the Aletian cluster in terms of personnel and equipment. Recruitment is primarily voluntary, although conscription is legal. The Imperial Military is responsible for protecting the Aletian Empire against ground-and-space-based threats, including rival militaries, xenos, pirates, and raiders. The Imperial Military is also responsible for conducting peacekeeping, internal security, and disaster relief operations, when required.

Commands

Combatant commands are joint military commands which consist of forces from multiple service branches or departments of the Imperial Military. There are currently five combatant commands, each of which is established as the highest echelon of military commands so as to provide effective command and control of all Aletian military forces regardless of service branch. Each combatant command is assigned a geographical area based upon the prefectures of the Aletian Empire, and a headquarters to administer all military units in their respective territory. A combatant command is led by a combatant commander, who is a flag officer, usually a High Marshal or High Admiral. Combatant commanders are entrusted with a specific type of non-transferable operational command authority over all assigned forces, regardless of service branch. Operational command authority flows from the Sovereign, through the Lord Marshal and the Imperial High Command, to the combatant commanders, bypassing the Imperial General Staff and the service chiefs.

Combatant commands are divided into component commands. Component commands are assigned a headquarters, which is based within their parent command's geographical area. Component commands are functional commands, as opposed to geographical commands. A component command is responsible for military units of a specific type under the control of their parent command. A component command is led by a component commander, who is a flag officer, usually a Line Marshal or Line Admiral. Operational command authority flows directly from combatant commanders to component commanders, and from there to field commanders. At present, each combatant command is assigned six component commands, which are responsible for guard troops, ground forces, space forces, special forces, logistics, and transportation. Component commands may be single commands, in the case of ground force and space force commands, or joint commands, in the case of special forces and transportation commands.
