The Cuauhtlatollo is the official name of the combined military-civilian organization charged with the administration of military and intelligence affairs of the government of Zacapican. It is controlled by the Secretariat of Defense and overseen by the judges of the War Department under High Court, and is itself divided into three organs and a total of six subdivisions. The homeland defense forces of Zacapican are grouped under the Yaocallapixque, which is subdivided into the Tlalpixque which operate the land based defense forces, the Ilhuicapixque which operates the domestic air force of Zacapican, and the Tlemipixque which serves as the strategic missile force of the Yaocallapixque. These Guard units make up the largest portion of the Cuauhtatollo's servicepeople and available manpower. The Yaochihualque are the military forces intended to serve overseas and away from the homeland, and are composed of the Zacapine Armada known as the Cemmantihuitz and the Ayaoquizque (lit. "Water Army"), also known as the Naval Infantry Force or Zacapine Marines. They are based in naval and marine bases in Zacapican as well as in overseas bases for rapid deployment. The third and final organ of the Cuauhtlatollo are the Yaotlapixque which supervises special operations and has no formal subdivisions. The headquarters of the Cuauhtlatollo is the fortress complex of Yaoyotepec, located in the outerskirts of the capital Tequitinitlan, which also contains the headquarters of all three divisions.
History
The 1924 military reform occured as a result of the attempted military coup which set off the Black Capotlin War and was intended to render any future military coup an impossibility, and mitigate any risk of military rebellion against the civilian government. The direct result of the reform was the split of the existing army and navy institutions of the Zacapine armed forces into seperated, parallel organizations without a joint armed forces command of a military charachter. This would allow the civilian authorities to play the now split military organs against one another, balancing their influence and fatally complicating any coup plot in the process. Under the reforms, the army became the Yaocallapixque, under which ground and air forces previously under army command were split into seperate organs. The navy was reformed into the Yaochihualque, subdivided into marine and naval units while the navy subdivision retained control of its air wing which was minimal at the time of the reforms. To coordinate and control the now disjointed military commands, the Cuauhtlatollo was established by by the Secretariat of Defense as well as the judicary oversight councils of the high court. At the time of its founding, the organization was headquartered in the annex of the high court building in eastern Tequitinitlan. As the Cuauhtlatollo was always intended to both coordinate defense affairs and restrict the military from unwanted actions, the addition of intelligence, counterintelligence and other subversive capabilities which were seen as potentially dangerous to the civilian government if misdirected would result in the Yaotlapixque being added to the Cuauhtlatollo's supervision, alongside the addition of the Rocket Guards to the Yaocallapixque organization.
