Unlike many militaries of the world, FAL also dedicates itself to internal security and policing at the behest of the Statevotary. While Achkadia does not directly call itself a military junta, it is classified by foreign organizations as a Stratocracy. As such, FAL is one of the biggest priorities of the government and is one of the most prevalent departments of the government. Fulfilling many functions beyond the normal role of the military it receives a high amount of funding, equated to over 10% of Achkadia's GDP. Service within FAL is mandatory for all citizens over the age of 16 who must serve 2 years which is considered their primary schooling.

Breakdown of personnel sees over 300,000 in the Air Force, 19,000 in the Navy, and 520,000 in the Army.

Order of Battle

The organization of the Forces of Achkadian Liberty is based off of the best implementation of Zone Layer Defense, a term coined by Minister General Hendrik Metz in 1982 outlining his overall plan for military districts throughout Achkadia, each responsible for security within it's zone of defense based on threats both internal and external to Achkadia. Developed purely for the defense and defensive actions within the region of west-central Lira, the order of battle of FAL provides flexibility to commanders to deploy forces in both linear and asymmetric fashions, depending on the unit's specialties.
