The modern military of Paleocacher was founded on March 12, 1815 after the reorganizing of the existing National Defense Militia into a professional army and navy. The military is all volunteer and is composed of some 650,000 active duty and 450,000 reserve personnel. The Air Force was first developed as the Army Aviation Section after powered flight was brought to Paleocacher in 1888 with the introduction of an airship for reconnaissance purposes.
Paleocacherian Federal Army
The army is divided into 22 fifteen thousand man divisions. In a fifteen thousand man division ten thousand are combat troops and five thousand are reserve and support personnel. Of the 22 army divisions there is one Marine Division and two airborne divisions. The remaining nineteen divisions are divided between nine infantry divisions, five armored divisions, and five mechanized divisions.
The Navy has 220,000 personnel. The Navy has over one hundred and fifty vessels and by law has enough sealift capacity in reserve to transport three army divisions at once. The bulk of the Navy's ships are destroyers and frigates but it does have two light aircraft carriers and several missile cruisers. One carrier, called the Leviathan, of an entirely new class was laid down in October 2017 and is expected to be fitted with new high tech weaponry when its commissioned in mid 2020.
The Naval Coastal Patrol division is composed of Naval Reserve men who act as a full time active duty coast guard. Their lightly armed cutters and patrol boats are fast and used to guard the coastlines, and act as search and rescue and disaster relief forces.
Paleocacherian Air Force
The Air Force has one hundred thousand personnel and has over eight hundred aircraft.
