Eventually, the military was split into two separate branches, with the ''Homeland Security Agency'' serving as security service for handling domestic threats, whereas the ''Armed Forces'' served for taking on foreign enemies. | ||

Within the League's Defense Administration, '''LDA''', the director managed two branches, known as the League Intelligence Agency '''LIA''', and the League's Defense Forces '''LDF'''. | ||

History
The Armed Forces of the Republic (LCNAF) was established on 25 May 2016 by Quebecshire.[1] It was primarily managed by Andrew Du and Quebecshire for most of its history. In 2017 and 2016, the LCNAF was known to operate on a small scale on Libcord and within FORGE.
On 13 February 2021, the Armed Forces of the Republic received new medals, new insignia, and new ranks.[5] On 17 February 2021, the Consulate of the Republic that The League was "revitalizing" the Armed Forces of the Republic for "a new era of function and inter-regional participation" with Libcord.[6][7]
The LCNAF is committed to the ideals of defending and regional sovereignty and we hope to be able to use our resources and the available manpower that we are able to prepare to further these goals. We have spoken to First Warden Tim-Opolis of The Order of the Grey Wardens about restoring our presence in Libcord and have decided to begin allowing new entries into the LCNAF today.
— Quebecshire on behalf of the Consulate of the Republic and the Defense Administration, 17 February 2021[6]
The LCNAF officially joined the umbrella defender organization Libcord on 21 February 2021.[4]
On 22 March 2021, the Armed Forces of the Republic was renamed to the League's Defense Forces (LDF) following the regional transfer program.
On 23 November 2021, the LDF was awarded The Anarchotopia Award alongside several other organizations, and organizationally won The Best Newcomer Award in the Fourteenth Annual Defender Awards.[8]
On major update of 16 June 2022, the LDF participated in the overall one update defense record with Libcord, which comprised of the defense of 177 regions.[9][10]

Ranks and insignia
Rank and insignia history
The current LDF rank and insignia were formalized on 13 February 2021. The historical LDF rank and insignia were in effect until 13 March 2018.[11]
In the historical system of ranking, promotion was earned either by direct promotion by the General of the Defense Forces or by naturally gaining "points" through participating in liberation, support, defense, and detag operations.[1] Liberation operations gained an individual 1.5 "points," support and defense operations gained an individual 1 "point," and detag operations gained an individual .5 "points."[1]
