The Zamorodnian Combined Militia (Zamorodnian: Замородинська Зведена Міліція; Zamorodyns'ka Zvedena Militsiya) is the unified military of the Zamorodnian Hetmanate. Commanded by the Hetman, the Combined Militia is composed of local militias raised in each of the fifteen stanytsy in Zamorodna. Training, equipment, numbers, and methods of recruitment vary drastically from one stanytsa to the next, but each one is obligated to muster a minimal force determined at the election of a new hetman.
The Combined Militia is rare among professional armed forces in that it has no distinct branches of service, with no specialized units even subordinated to a special role branch. Each militia is effectively treated as its own asset under a unified command structure. As a landlocked country, Zamorodna has a negligible force of riverine vessels placed at the Hetman's command. The country's air power is provided by the Kostyanopol Air Militia and the Barabanopol Air Force which are typically unified into a single division with airborne-capable troops.
The exact size of the Combined Militia is difficult to ascertain when forces are not actively mustered. Several stanytsy permit ineligible citizens to train with qualified reservists and in some cases even alongside standing service personnel. Ten of the fifteen stanytsy practice some form of conscription when the other five to now. In general, estimates of active personnel range between 55,000 and 62,000 while the number of reservists may approach two million.
The Zamorodnian Combined Militia sources equipment from a variety of sources. Traditionally, the Veliko Tsardom has been the source of much of the Hetmanate's equipment. Over the past decades, Zamorodna's own arms industry has grown to meet a portion of its domestic demand. Private purchases from global arms and equipment manufacturers have also supplemented domestic and Veliko production. As each stanytsy procures equipment for its respective militias, equipment between units often varies greatly and there are few standards.
