Allied States Military

The Allied States Military is the military forces of the Allied States of America. They consist of the Navy and the Army. Unlike the United States Armed Forces, the Coast Guard is not a permanent branch of the military, but rather an organization on its own. The Air National Guard no longer exists and has been fully incorporated into the independent National Guard of the Allied States. The Marine Corps has been dissolved and incorporated into formations of the Allied States Army. The President of the Allied States is the Commander-in-Chief of the combined military forces, with the Secretary of Defense as the civilian leader and administrator and the Alliance High Command (formerly Joint Chiefs of Staff) as the field command organization. The overall main purpose of the military is to ensure the safety of all Allied States citizens and assets, at home, and abroad. In the United States Armed Forces, each branch had its own song, however, the Allied States Military has only one song, The Eyes of Texas.

All previous United States companies which produced droids have been incorporated into either of these two companies.
