The Roseinian Armed Forces (Roseinian: Вермахт Росеинский Бундэштат Республик Народных, tr. Vermakht Roseinskiy Bundeštat Respublik Narodnikh, commonly shortened to Вермахт Росеинский Бундэштат or Vermakht Roseinskiy Bundeštat) refers to the armed forces of the Roseinian Empire. There are five branches: The Roseinian Army, the Roseinian Navy, the Roseinian Aeronautics Division, the Roseinian Airborne Troops, and the Strategic Missile Troops. There is also a National Civil Defence Force, roughly equivalent to the Columbian and Mobian National Guards.
The Roseinian Empire has the world's largest standing army. Genrikh Bolshov (Valentin Fridberg in ASMW) serves as the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, while the Ministry of Defence has the power to declare war.
==History==
Prior to the reign of Yurgin IV, there wasn't a unified Roseinian army, just a series of warring factions. Then, when humans and animals started warring between each other, Yurgin IV – soon to be Tsar of Roseinia – led his own mixed unit to victory. As a result, he managed to end the civil war and bring peace to the country. After doing so, he managed to create the first Roseinian Army. Under his rule, the Roseinian Army managed to conquer more territory, although they failed to conquer the Kingdom of Mobius, the Khanate of Dniepria and the Grand Duchy of Eastland.
With Yurgin IV's death, Roseinia plunged into chaos. For the time being, the army was broken up. However, when Berukh I rose to the position of Tsar, he managed to stop this fighting, and the Roseinian Army was once more intact. Berukh I also led the creation of the Roseinian Navy. From then on, Roseinia was largely uninvolved in world conflicts, although they sent a few troops to assist the Columbian Colonies during the Independence War.
Then, with the ascension of Tsar Andrey I, there came an invasion from Mobius, Dniepria and Weissruth, which sparked the War of the Three Spearheads. Despite the loss of two million Roseinian soldiers, they successfully repelled the invasion. Under Tsar Boris II's rule, the Roseinian Armed Forces underwent significant reforms, including the addition of an Aeronautics Division. The Armed Forces saw no further action until the Reactionary War, which pitted them against the Kingdom of Tedesca, the Republic of Varsovia and the Eastland-Selonian Commonwealth, among others. Ultimately, the Roseinian Armed Forces withdrew due to massive losses, mostly brought on by disease and starvation rather than combat injuries.
With the overthrow of the Tsarist government, the Roseinian Armed Forces came under new management. Even so, there were still challenges to overcome, including attempted invasions from the Federal Republic of Columbia and the Republic of Tedesca. Nevertheless, the guidance of the Congress of People's Councils ensured that the Roseinian Armed Forces came out on top.
Up until the rise of CPRE secretary Genrikh Bolshov, the Roseinian Armed Forces remained relatively stable. Under Bolshov's rule, they expanded at a near-exponential rate, becoming the largest standing military force in the world. By this time, the Airborne Troops and Strategic Missile Troops had been founded. Despite the fact that millions of Roseinian subjects were starving, the Roseinian Armed Forces had the strength to invade the Kingdom of Mobius, thereby sparking the biggest war the Roseinian Empire had ever faced: the Great War. With their superior numbers and aggressive tactics, the Roseinian Armed Forces gave the Crown Armed Forces of Mobius a run for their money. However, for all their strength, the Roseinian Armed Forces were somewhat lacking in technological development, which caused the war to drag on, with several potential outcomes involved…
==Organization==
The Premier of the Roseinian Empire – currently Genrikh Bolshov – serves as the Supreme Commander of the Roseinian Armed Forces. Ultimate control, however, is handled by the Ministry of Defence, and it is possible for civilians and armed forces personnel alike to hold the post of Minister of Defence. Subordinate to the Minister of Defence is the Chief of the General Staff, who is responsible for operations and planning, and the Chief of the Administrative Bureau, who is responsible for administration.

==Branches==
===Roseinian Army (Росеинския Армия)===
The ground forces of the Roseinian Armed Forces, and the largest and oldest forces. Part of this branch includes the National Civil Defence Force. Their stated mission is "to protect the population, territorial integrity and civil liberties in the territory of the Roseinian state."
===Roseinian Navy (Росеинский Кригсфлот)===
The seafaring forces of the Roseinian Armed Forces, and the second-oldest. Part of their duties overlap with the Strategic Missile Troops. Like the Columbian and Mobian navies, the Roseinian Navy has a sizeable number of aircraft carriers.
===Roseinian Aeronautics Division (Росеинския Аэронавтика Дивизия)===
The air force of the Roseinian Armed Forces, part of which is also folded into the National Civil Defence Force. Not only are they responsible for air combat, but they also maintain control over anti-aircraft weapons and are responsible for space defense as well.
===Roseinian Airborne Troops (Люфт-Десантет Трупска)===
A special division of the Roseinian Armed Forces, whose mission is to parachute into combat zones. Airborne Troops are considered some of the most elite troops in the Roseinian Armed Forces.
===Strategic Missile Troops (Ракетен Стратегиш Трупска)===
The newest division of the Roseinian Armed Forces. Controls all ground-based strategic nuclear missiles.
==Training==
Although physical fitness requirements are flexible depending on species, everybody must follow an absolute minimum, which has drawn controversy because there are those who believe that the minimum was set with humans in mind.
Another controversial aspect of training is the practice of dedovščina, literally translated as "rule by the grandfathers". It involves various hazing rituals practiced on fresh recruits by more seasoned recruits. Recruits have died or been severely crippled as a result of dedovščina.
==Uniforms==
The Roseinian Armed Forces have a wide variety of combat and dress uniforms. The standard combat uniform is the M69 uniform in solid green, although various Special Forces and Airborne Troops wear TtSKo camouflage. In either case, the SSh-68 is the standard combat helmet. Tank crews wear the black "tankoviy kostyum" over their M69 uniforms along with the TSh-4M tanker's helmet. Fighter pilots wear the KKO-5 flight suit system.

==Weapons==
The standard-issue rifles of the Roseinian Armed Forces are the AKM and AK-74. The Makarov is the standard sidearm, although the Tokarev TT-33 is still widely used. It is not unheard of for Nagant revolvers to still be in use, either. Special Forces units, vehicle crews and pilots tend to use lighter weapons such as the AKS-74U, PPSh-41 or Stetchkin. The main sniper/designated marksman rifle is the Dragunov SVD, but Mosin-Nagants are still used as well. The Roseinian Armed Forces even use a shotgun – the KS-23.
The number of machine guns used by the Roseinian Armed Forces are many, but the three most popular are the RPK, the PKM and the DShK. The KPV is a popular tank/anti-aircraft machine gun. RPG-7s are popular for anti-personnel and anti-armor use, but are being supplanted in the latter role by the RPG-29. For anti-air use, the SA-14 "Gremlin" is popular. Grenades and mines include the RGD-5 and PMN-2.
==Vehicles==
The standard four-wheel-drive of the Roseinian Armed Forces is the UAZ-469. Standard troop/cargo trucks include the ZIL-131 and Ural-4320. For heavier transport duties, trucks such as the MAZ-537, ZIL-135 and MAZ-543 are used. Armored troop transport is provided by the BTR-70 and BMP-1, plus the BMD-1 for Airborne Troops.
The Roseinian Armed Forces place a high value on tanks, and the T-72 is their main battle tank, with the T-62 a close second. They are one of the few modern armies to still use heavy tanks, primarily the IS-4 and T-10M, both of which are being replaced by the T-59 (known as Object 279 in the real world). Similarly, the Roseinian Armed Forces still use tank destroyers, with the ISU-152-2 and the SU-152-T10 (known as Object 268 in the real world) taking precedence.
Helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft are also of major importance to the Roseinian Armed Forces. For transport/light attack use, they utilize the Mil Mi-2 "Hoplite". The Mil Mi-24 "Hind" is the number-one attack helicopter, along with the Mil Mi-28 "Havoc", although rumors abound of an Mi-45 "Hedgebat" hovercopter. The main fighter jet of the Aeronautics Division is the MiG-29 "Fulcrum", and the main ground attack aircraft is the MiG-27 "Flogger-D". Both are being replaced by the MiG 1.44. The Tupolev Tu-95 "Bear" is the main heavy bomber, although there are limited numbers of Tupolev Tu-160 "Blackjacks" in service as well.
