The Latin Armed Forces (Latin: Exercitus Latinorum, literally: "Army of the Latins") sometimes known as the Imperial Legions (Latin: Imperialis Legio), are the armed forces of the Latin Empire. The Armed Forces are composed of three branches: the Latin Army (Exceritus Latinum), the Imperial Navy (Classis Imperalis) and the Imperial Air Force (Militum Aris). The Armed Forces are a solely professional, volunteer force since the abolishment of conscription in 1957. The Armed Forces' commander-in-chief (Imperator) is the Emperor of the Latins, though effective control is exercised through his appointed Master of Soldiers (Magister Militum). The current total number of active military personnel is 309,377 and personnel in reserve is 182,689.
