Armed Forces of Stretta

The armed forces that serve Stretta are commonly known as AFoS (the Armed Forces of Stretta). They comprise of three main arms, the army, navy and air force. The army is by far the largest of these arms. As a result, the Chief of Staff for the army also takes control of the entire armed forces, acting as chief advisor to the Ministry of Defence and the aide-de-camp to the First Minister. The armed forces are currently going through a comprehensive restructuring, replacing outdated equipment and ensuring the smooth running of a peace-time military capable of quick responsive action.

While the post-war military may have been strong, without active combat, it had stagnated. After shocking reports into soldier's equipment, the government decided that as a new nation, Stretta needed to bolster the protection of it's borders.

The new armed forces structure is broken down as follows:

• Total Personel: 799,190
• Army: 407,141
• Navy: 188,589
• Air Force: 203,460
