The Commonwealth Self-Defense Forces (Myrian: 联邦自卫队, romanized: Liánbāng Zì Wèiduì, abbreviated CSDF) is the unified armed forces of the Commonwealth of Aldia and encompasses the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Maritime Protection Forces & Territorial Forces. The CSDF is administered by the Commonwealth Military Administration whereas the Chancellor of the Commonwealth serves as its commander-in-chief. When it was first established, the CSDF did not have any active duty personnel in peace time, instead member states of the Commonwealth would only contribute forces when war has been declared. Command was also decentralized which hindered cohesion amongst the various armed forces of the Commonwealth, each of whom had different standards and doctrines. The Military Reform Act of 1935 saw the integration of all armed forces of the Commonwealth's armed forces into a singular cohesive organization.
Conscription is provided by law although the CSDF has been able to maintain a reasonable number of personnel without resorting to a draft. There are approximately eighth hundred thousand active CSDF personnel, this excludes civilian employees who work within the Commonwealth Military Administration. The Commonwealth Territorial Forces, the CSDFs' organized militia component, is the largest branch of the CSDF and is also considered as the CSDF's reserve components. Currently more than one million citizens are registered as fully-trained members of the Commonwealth Territorial Forces. The CSDF is supported by many domestic defense contractors to supply it with state-of-the-art equipment. The CSDF has been involved in a number of conflicts since its inception, most notably the Wuxian Unrest, the Shukaku Rebellion, the Myrian Canal Conflict & involvement the Third Voshan War.
