The **Marleyan Armed Forces** is the combined armed forces of Marley, consisting primarily of the **Marley Army** and the **Marley Navy**. Their main strength comes from the infamous Warriors, comprised of Eldians possessing the power of the Titans.

## Structure

By 845, the Marleyan army boosted a total strength of eight hundred thousand men organized into 40 divisions of 20,000 strong. The navy had a total of 17 battleships among three fleets as well as an 7 destroyers.

### Chain of Command

The various branches of the military are collectively led by General Calvi. Below the general are commanders who are responsible for the control and training of combat units. The Warriors are led by Commander Magath and Zeke Jaeger, who are both influential people in the Armed Forces.

### Military Service

Marley practices conscription in the conquered lands of its empire, although its own citizens are presently exempted from military service. Due to that, its rank and file is made up of various ethnicities, with the Eldian unit being the most visible among them.

## Army

The Marleyan Army possesses a conventional armament that is largely similar to other world powers in appearance, but is noted to be more obsolete. For small-arms weaponry, bolt action rifles and stick grenades are the standard-issued weapons of Marleyan infantrymen, with two models of rifle in service. Heavier weapons such as water-cooling machine guns are employed as the primary armament of the Cart Titan in particular, turning them into mobile weapon platforms manned by Marleyan soldiers known as the Panzer Unit. Soldiers are primarily transported by steam-powered trains, but those who garrison inside home territory are also transported by trucks.

The use of Titans is central to the army's doctrine. Besides having the Warriors as a strategical deterrent, Marley also has a long-standing strategy of converting its Eldian population into pure Titans to bolster its military strength. Other than strategic value, inheritors of the Nine Titans also fulfill the tactical role comparable to tanks on the field. For example, Marleyan troops practice conventional tactics such as trench warfare, frontal human wave assault, and rudimentary anti-armor techniques such as the use of bundle stick grenades.

However, due to their heavy reliance on the power of the Titans, the Marleyan army has neglected development and advancement of conventional armaments. As a result, its forces were gradually outclassed by the Mid-Eastern Alliance and other nations of the world, who pushed their efforts into military development in order to strike a balance with Marley's Titans.

This would change, however, with the introduction of Harry Potter's personal journals. The journals would help the Armed Forces gain a better understanding of more modern technologies, allowing for the creation of more advanced weapons to be used in combat. By 845, weapons created from the journals would be in the process of being created in large quantities, in the hopes to be used in future conflicts between Marley and other countries.

### Panzer Unit

Heavier weapons such as water-cooling machine guns are employed as the primary armament of the Cart Titan in particular, turning them into mobile weapon platforms manned by Marleyan soldiers known as the Panzer Unit.

### Eldian Unit

One of the forces in the Marleyan army is the Eldian Unit. The army's hierarchy is ethnically segregated, with Eldians forming the entirety of the enlisted ranks led by an all-Marleyan leadership. As a clear indication of rank, Eldian soldiers are issued with headgear differing from their Marleyan superiors, and all are required to wear the nine-pointed star insignia identifying them as Eldians at all time unless when being explicitly ordered to take it off.

The Eldians soldiers have a color signifying their rank, grey is Eldian soldier, yellow is Warrior candidate, and red is Warrior. Like in civilian society, Marleyan officers are generally disdainful of their Eldian subordinates, but some are less so. Despite the discrimination, Eldian veterans are entitled to medical care if they are permanently crippled or psychologically damaged in war.

### Warriors

In order to counter King Fritz's threats to unleash the Colossal Titans against Marley, the Marleyan government decided to grant the power of the seven Titans in their nation's possession to a selection of children who are Subjects of Ymir, thus forming the Warriors. The families of those chosen children were promised to be made into honorary Marleyans with all freedoms that come with the distinction. These children were trained into expendable soldiers in warfare while also serving as candidates to inherit the powers of the Titans.

By 845, the Warriors were known as one of the strongest Warrior units ever seen in Marley. These Warriors consisted of; Zeke Jaeger/Beast Titan, Harry Potter, Reiner Braun/Armored Titan, Annie Leonhart/Female Titan, Pieck Finger/Cart Titan, Bertholdt Hoover/Colossal Titan, Marcel Galliard/Jaw Titan, and Porco Galliard.

## Navy

The Marley Navy is outdated and underdeveloped, leading to the loss of many naval ships. Marley has a variety of different warships in its navy, such as battleships, destroyers, ironclads, survey ships, or steamboats. In 845, the Marleyan Navy had a total of 17 battleships among the three fleets. These battleships are steam-powered, fully steel built vessels, armed with two twin-gun main batteries of large-caliber naval guns. The ships also have smaller guns around the hull.

## Air Force

While not entirely a separate branch from the Army, the Air Force acts as a major component to the Armed Forces. While possessing many heavier-than-air aircraft used to transport soldiers, Marley's Air Force is small in the number of vessels it contains. However, Marley plans to focus more on developing these aircraft.

### Airborne Unit

The Airborne Unit uses airships to carry Eldians who are parachuted over a target area and transformed by Zeke Jaeger's scream into Pure Titans, who upon transforming lose their parachutes and fall violently on the ene my's territory, the kinetic force destroying much of the bombarded zone. Although a large percentage of the Titans die due to the fall, the remaining ones then proceed to decimate the surviving enemy forces. Members of the Nine Titans serving Marley such as the Armored and Beast Titans can then be parachuted as well, although from a lower altitude, to continue with the attack.

## Marley Public Security

The Marley Public Security is a Marleyan internal military force. Its primary purpose is to control the Eldian minority within the Marleyan mainland. The MPS repression of Eldians drove Grisha Jaeger into becoming a Restorationist.

## Locations:

### Fort Tatakai:

Fort Tatakai is one of the most populated forts in Marley, functioning as the leading training camps for Warrior Candidates. This fort was the home of the current Warriors and Commander Hoyt.

### Liberio:

The Armed Forces operate mostly within Liberio, with the Armed Forces Headquarters residing in the highly populated city. The Marley Public Security are also more prominent here, given that the Liberio Internment Zone is the largest internment zone in the entirety of Marley.

### Paradis Island:

The Marley Public Security had a base located on the edge of Paradis Island. This base was utilized in order to turn captured Eldians into Pure Titans. These Pure Titans would be dropped onto the island, where they would surround the Eldian Wall society living there.
