The Joint Defense Forces (JDF), is an intergovernmental military alliance & organization between the Commonwealth of Aldia and the Fusouese Empire. The premise of the JDF is based around the principle of collective security where an attack by an external party against one member state constitutes as an attack against all members of the alliance. The JDF is in essence the military component of the Myrian Union, a political & economic union between both Aldia & Fusou. It was established on the 1st of January 2012 with the express purpose of maintaining regional security & stability, responding to regional & international humanitarian crisis as well as to promote cooperation, integration & interoperability of the military of its member states. While its personnel are drawn from both the Commonwealth Self-Defense Forces and the Fusou Armed Forces it only maintains a Corps-level number of personnel equal to approximately 50,000 troops, and 10,000 reserve troops. This relatively low number of personnel were necessary as the JDF acts as a quick-reaction force meant as a stop-gap measure until the main combat elements from Aldia & Fusou can be mobilized. All JDF elements must be ready for mobilization and deployment within 24 hours and operate independently for a period of 30 days without resupply. The JDF is comprised of three components: the Joint Expeditionary Groups (JEG), Myrian Aerospace Command (MACO) and the Naval Task Forces and the Secretary-General of the Myrian Union serves as its commander-in-chief.
