The Armed Forces of Kerussiria or AFVK for short are the military of the Republic of Kerussiria and consist of 5 main branches; the Kerusian Defence Forces (VDF), the Kerusian Air Force (VAF), the Kerusian Naval Forces (VNF), the Kerusian Steel Guards (VSG) and the Kerusian Deterrence Task Forces (VDTF). It contains the highest amount of magic and arcana in the entire country, which it uses to enchant shell, vehicles, weapons or armour in ways technology would have made costly such as imbuing tanks or soldiers to temporarily make them harder to hit by blurring their image or making shells explode into a massive fireball upon impact.

Before 1543, the AFKR had 6 branches, with the sixth being the "Kerusian Security and Intelligence Service" or ĶKVȚ but due to biases or narrow perspectives from the military superiors of the AFKR, it was chosen to separate the ĶKVȚ from the AFKR as to promote objectivity and impartiality in intelligence analysis and decision-making within the ĶKVȚ and to enhance oversight and accountability mechanisms.

Branches

Kerusian Defence Force

The ground forces are the largest branch of the AFVK with around 425,000 members in both reserve and active. As a ground branch, a majority of their operations are conducted on the ground but if a certain operation calls for it, it will work in tandem with the other branches to conduct amphibious or air missions. The VDF contains 1 other sub-branchs other than the VDF known as the Battle Mages. The Battle Mages are trained individuals who have harnessed the Schools of Magic for means of destruction and desolation.

Kerusian Air Force

The air force of the republic and the main backbone of any offensive, defensive or logistical effort on the ground and in the sea. It operates over a thousand aircraft and has a member count of around 105,000 in reserve and active service.

Kerusian Naval Force

The naval force of the AFVK acts as both a protector of Kerussiria's waters and as a surface for the VAF and VDF to conduct operations.

Steel Guard

The main special forces of the AFVK, which incorporates both magic and science to make constructs or super soldiers for use in high-risk situations or escorting important personnel or cargo. The member count is classified but assumed to be around 1,500.

Kerusian Deterrence Task Force

A more advanced version of the nation's SWAT teams, meant to deal with violent protests all the way to terrorism.

Ranks

Ranks of the Armed Forces of Kerussiria are the same amongst all branches expect the Deterrence Task Force, which uses the rank system of the Kerusian Law Enforcement. Each branch is distinguished by a prefix and designated frame colour that surrounds the rank, with Etiva- (ground [black frame]), Aẋuh- (air [white frame]), Vaṡṡ- (sea [blue frame]) or Țket- (steel, [red frame]) before their rank. Ranks are displayed on an enlisted/officer's uniform cap, collar and helmet. Though amongst ranks on the fields, there is barely a difference in war time between for example a sub-lieutenant and a general the biggest difference is rank symbology and this allows higher ranking officials a sort of veil of protection against targeted attacks against them.
