The Grand Army of the Realm (Brumenese: Große Armee des Reiches), frequently abbreviated as GAR and also commonly referred to as both the Grand Army or Her Majesty's Armed Forces is the unified armed forces of the Kingdom of Brumen and is comprised of the Land Forces, Royal Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and State Guard. Brumen maintains a personnel strength of 630,000 (180,000 active and 450,000 reserves) and supported by 30,000 full time civilian staff for administration & support purposes as of 2020, a relatively small number of personnel compared to its continental neighbors. It is administered by the Department of Defense (Ministerium der Verteidigung) a civilian federal government body that administers and establishes the defense policies of the nation. The primary duties of the GAR includes: maintaining the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Brumen, defend the nation from enemies both foreign and domestic, foster friendly & cooperative military relations with Brumen's neighbors as well as participating in regional humanitarian missions.
Brumen currently has an active compulsory military service known as the Federal Service (Bundesdienst) mandate where all able-bodied male citizens between the ages of 18-28 years old are required by law to serve for 24 months in one of the following three bodies: the GAR itself, the Federal Police (Bundespolizei) and the Civil Defense Corps (Zivilschutzkorps). Various exemptions from conscription applies for certain conditions such as but not limited to: medical conditions and physical disabilities. Conscientious Objectors for certain criterias are permitted to state their unwillingness to serve in the GAR and may perform alternate services in the Federal Police or Civil Defense Corps. A majority of conscripts however are generally funneled into the GAR's Land Services branch as both the Air Force and Royal Navy require more specialized personnel, whereas the high turnover rate of conscripts would disrupt both branches operational readiness. Upon completion conscripts are automatically placed on the reserve pool for a period of five years.
