Adorian Armed Forces

The Adorian Armed Forces are the military forces of the Adorian Federation. The Armed forces consist of 4 service branches, The Army, Navy, Air Force, and Cyber.

The forces are led by the President of the Adorian Federation, as the commander and chief, and are administered under the Ministry of Defence and overseen by the National Assembly. The principal organ of the armed forces is the Defence Committee, a body consisting of the President as chair the Minister of Defence as vice-chair, the Vice President, Prime Minister, Minister of Interior and Homeland Security, Minister of Foreign affairs and the Army High Command, itself composed of the chief of the different branches of the Armed Forces.

The Adorian Armed Forces have a total of 49,900 servicemen in active duty, and also have a reservist corp of about 78,000 people included in the Adorian National Guard. While technically not directly a part of the Armed Forces, the President can mobilize the ANG and deploy them in times of a national crisis.

The Adorian Armed forces have been a part of numerous military operations, most notably Operation Albion, the forces also engaged in other civil operations such as the October Crisis, Six Hour War, December Crisis, Siege of Soulth I, and the Eton Revolution. As a member of NATO, the forces also have conducted operations outside its borders, such as the NATO Assistance in Romania and Poland. Adoria also hosts a NATO base in Limni West, Libeccio.

## Structure

Presidential command over the Adorian armed forces is established in article 32 of the constitution of the Adorian federation, whereby the president is named as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the Federation of Adoria, and command of the reservists is established by section 2 of the National Guards Decree whereby The President shall be the chief commander of the ANG (Adorian National Guard), made by President Daniel. The headquarters of the Adorian Armed Forces is in Ador City, the capital city of Adoria.

Executive policy of the forces is mainly created by the President and Defense Minister, but members of the High Command may create executive policy with the support of 2 members of the NDC.

The military chain of command flows from the President to the Minister of Defense, to the high command, who answers to the civilian command structure.

The High Command is the senior-most military body within Adoria, its operations are mostly done within the NDC, as it does not hold a separate counsel. There is no leader of the command as each is of equal standing, managing the day-to-day activities of the Navy, Air Force, and Army. There is however a position of the Chief of Staff created by the National Defence Council Regulations

but this position is only for management purposes acting as an assistant to the President and Defense Minister. Other members of the command are the Grand Admiral of the Navy, Chief of the Airforce, Commander of the Army, and Chief of the Cyber Department. The military police are created under the Establishment of the Adorian Military Police Force and are directly controlled by the President. The coast guard is administered by the Ministry of the Interior and Homeland Security and is not directly part of the military apparatus, but like the National Guard is a part of the federal security apparatus which may conduct military operations.
