The Military of the Confederate States, otherwise known formally as the Confederate States Armed Forces or informally as the Anagonian Armed Forces, was established into law with the signing of the Constitution of the Confederate States, and thereafter regulated by the Articles of the Armed Forces of the Confederacy. The military leadership has the legal authority to VETO any congressional or government action that would endanger the wording and purpose of the Constitution and, accordingly, the People the military was created to defend. It cannot, in any capacity, initiate a military takeover of the government - except by election of military officials who may run for office. It additionally has the responsibility of Civil Protection through the Military Police, as established by the Constitution.
Each state and territory within the Confederate States of Anagonia maintains a militia of fighting men and women for the purpose of defense through compulsory military service laws. Depending on the avenue an individual takes after their mandatory term, they can continue their service in the national Confederate Military which includes all branches of the Confederate Armed Forces; Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Military Police, Special Forces, Defense Forces and Space Forces. The Military is intended to act not only as protector of the people it serves, but also as mediator between disputes of states, territories, and individuals, as established in the constitution.

The formation of the Confederate States Military unofficially began in the early months of 1921 CE. Master Sergeant Tiberius Samsus had been assigned to the shores of Plymouth, at the time a Province of the United Republic of Anagonia, before the collapse of the federal government. As the government and military apparatus of the United Republic dissolved in Feburary of 1921 CE, Tiberius gathered the forces under his command and began an earnest campaign to restore law and order. The Plymouth Democratic Republic quickly aligned with the goals of the now-defunct Master Sergeant, unofficially giving him a promotion to Colonel in March of 1921 CE as he stabilized the fractured province. His sights were set on uniting the entire country again under one banner and so, following a week of preparation, he set off on a war-path northward into the Confederal Republic of Plymouth. By August of 1921 CE, Colonel Samsus had united almost the entirety of Mainland Anagonia, with the exception of the provinces under the control of the Patriots of Liberty.
Following the brutal Battle of Liberty Plains, the largest and most violent battle of the short Civil War, Colonel Tiberius rose victorious and claimed total control of Mainland Anagonia with the backing of the Democratic Republic. A convention was held one month later in September 14th of 1921 CE between the leaders of all provinces in Anagonia to meet and sign the Constitution of the Confederate States. With its formalization on September 15th, Colonel Samsus and the large army he led became the First Army of the Confederacy. The new Confederate Government began an earnest objective to backpay the soldiers under the command of Colonel Samsus, along with setting up and establishing its treasury to ensure continued payments.
With the election of Colonel Tiberius Samsus as the fledgling nations 1st President, the first Commander-in-Chief of the young nation set about establishing the branches. The Confederate States Army, already established by the signing of the Constitution, had been comprised of several assets from land, sea, and air operations. President Samsus established the Confederate States Navy on September 20th, 1921 CE. He then established the Confederate States Air Force which at the time was comprised of mostly primitive biplanes and dirigibles, on September 25th, 1921 CE.
The young nation experienced its first real crisis on March 15th, 1925 CE. President Samsus orders his armies to the borders of both the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics of Nodea Rudav and the Imperial Drekamythian Empire. The southern neighbors to the Confederate States had once been joined with Anagonia as Sovereign Provinces under the federal authority of the United Republic. With the dissolution of the United Republic, the two Provinces claimed independence, which the Confederate States recognized following its formation in 1921 CE. Yet the leaderships of the two newly independent nations had determined that the Confederate States was unfit and incapable to exist, pushing into its southern borders in a series of skirmishes that marked the 1924-1925 Border Skirmish Crisis.
The conclusion of the crisis occurred with President Samsus initiating the War of Three Brothers. For one year the three factions waged a heavy, almost brutal conflict that tested the mettle and resolve of the infant Anagonian Confederacy. Following a ruse initiated by General Longbow of the Confederate States Army, the forces of the Empire and USSR were absolutely devastated at the Battle of Imperius, leaving them both open to invasion. Through diplomatic channels, President Samsus warned the Premier of Nodea Rudav and the God Emperor of Drekamythia that should no convention for peace be held, he'd retract the Anagonian recognition of the two nations sovereignty and occupy their lands. This was a bluff that had been carefully manufactured into being through specific strategic victories, including the Battle of Imperius, by the capable leadership of the Confederate States Military, still comprised at the time of capable leaders from the era of the United Republic Military. The bluff worked and on April 7th of 1927 CE, the war was officially over.
The aftermath of the War of Three Brothers saw multiple changes with the Confederate States Military. Mandatory Service had been debated over the course of the war but had yet to pass debate in the Grand Congress of the Confederacy, however with its conclusion debate was resolved to pass it. With its passage, the numbers of active duty military personnel were bolstered and enabled the creation of additional branches to the Confederate Military. In May of 1928 CE, President Robert Leeson separated the Confederate States Military Police from the Confederate States Army as an individual branch of the military, maintaining its lawful role as the civil protection of Anagonia. President Leeson also creates the United Continental Confederation as a way to ensure continued peace between Anagonia, Nodea Rudav, and Drekamythia through diplomatic channels. On August 4th of 1928 CE, President Leeson creates the Confederate States Defense Forces, which was designed to encompass the sub-branches of the Confederate States Coast Guard[CSCG], Confederate States National Guard[CSNG], and Confederate States State Military Forces[CSSMF] - the Confederate States Space Forces would become an addition to the Defense Forces in 1960 CE. President Leeson then goes on to establish the Confederate States Special Forces and the Confederate States Marine Corps as branches of the Confederate Military on December 1st of 1929 CE.
Military Directive
The Confederate States Military is primarily concerned with defending the vital avenue of trade lanes that feed the growing economy of the Confederate States. Considered a primary defense concern, export and import trade is the number one source that provides the Citizens of the Confederate States with a stable job, life, and means to provide for themselves. As such, the Confederate States Military has geared all branches towards providing instantaneous response to threats to trade and economic growth.
Line of Defense
The Confederate States Military has structured its branches to respond to threats in a "line of defense" method. The lines of defense are as follows:
- The first line of defense in this objective is the Confederate States Navy and Confederate States Marine Corps. The CSN has been trimmed and bolstered to respond to threats in both international trade lanes and domestic waters surrounding Anagonia. The Confederate States Marine Corps works closely with the Confederate States Navy should the mission require, providing its own naval assets and ground force assets to complete and secure mission objectives. The Confederate States Navy is also on call to provide naval transport for all branches.
- The second line of defense is the Confederate States Air Force, which actively patrols the coasts of Anagonia and inland to provide a visible defensive presence to deter criminal activity. The Confederate States Air Force is also on call to provide air lift services to all branches.
- The third line of defense is provided by the Confederate States Military Police and Confederate States Defense Forces. The CSDF provides all around protection and intelligence gathering which supports all other branches of the military, as well as directs National Guard and Coast Guard assets to Areas of Concern (AoC). The Confederate States Military Police provides a visible presence on the nations interstate highways and roadways as well as provides the nations civil protection.
- The fourth line of defense is provided by the Confederate States Army, which are on call should the third line of defense be jeopardized or by request of any branch to assert authority and security domestically and internationally. The Confederate States Army is also on call to provide land-based transport for all branches.
- The fifth line of defense is the Confederate States Special Forces, consisting of all branches unique Special Force divisions (most notably the Confederate Navy Sea Dragons), which are actively on call to respond to threats in a discrete and, sometimes, boisterous fashion. It is not uncommon for the Confederate States Navy to request the services of the Confederate States Special Forces to deal with pirate or other external threats.
