The Fortunan Armed Forces is the armed forces of the Three States of Fortuna, and consists of the Fortunan Army, Navy, and Air Force. The Regulatori is also considered a part of the Fortunan Armed Forces and acts as the police force within the nation and may participate in military combat if found necessary. These four forces combined make up the majority of the military in Fortuna, and consist of around 1,080,000 active personnel and 3,130,000 in reserve or fit for combat, making Fortuna one of Urth's most militarized states. Fortuna requires for it's citizens to serve in the military starting at the age of 18, with men required to serve up to 36 months and women required to serve up to 24 months. The Fortuna Military Council, led by the current Commander, heads the Fortunan Armed Forces. The Fortunan Armed Forces military budget consists of 10% of Fortuna's national GDP, around $30.412 billion. Even with the high spending, Fortuna's armed forces is still considered outdated and lacks behind other nations.

Fortuna requires for its citizens to serve in the military starting at the age of 18, with both men and women required to serve up to 36 months. The Fortuna Military Council, led by the current Chief Commander, heads the Fortunan Armed Forces. The Fortunan Armed Forces military budget consists of 5.2% of Fortuna's national GDP, around $26.14 billion. Even with the high spending, Fortuna's armed forces is still considered outdated and lacks behind other nations. Much of the equipment used by the Fortunan Armed Forces were inherited from the former three states of Fortuna, however the government has been working to update the military to fit with today's standard.

==Military Service==
−
Under Fortunan law, it is mandatory for citizens to serve a specific amount of time in the military. Once a citizen reaches the age of 18, they are required to enter service in one of the four branches. On special occasions, some citizens can get pass jumping into military service after reaching the age of 18, but they are required to serve within one of the government's departments. To be able to skip military service they must have the highest scores within their class or receive a pass from a respected government official. This has rarely taken place as it is looked down upon to not serve in the military. Most citizens who have skipped the mandatory military service later joined to finish the required time in service. Every citizen disregarding gender, species, and beliefs are required to serve. The time of service for men is up to 36 months while the time for women is up to 24 months.

As the head of state for Fortuna, Tristan Lytle has full control over the armed forces as Commander-in-Chief. He is given the title High Commander and has held this position ever since taking power. Under him is the Military High Command, led by Commander Ferdinand Romano and which oversees all military activity. The Military High Command branches off into three separate commands which oversee a specific branch in the military. This includes Ground Forces Command, Naval Forces Command, and Air Forces Command.

The Fortunan Navy is Fortuna's main priority as it is the first line of defense and protection of international shipping lanes. The navy currently has the strength of 20,167 active personnel and operates 94 vessels: 4 amphibious transport docks, 28 destroyers, 24 frigates, 6 submarines, 3 landing ships, 5 minesweepers, and a varied fleet of auxiliary ships. To protect and regulate Fortuna's waters and coast line, the Navy operates 3 offshore patrol vessels and 5 coastal patrol boats who mostly operate separate of the main fleet. Commanding over the Fortunan Navy is the position of Chief Maritime Commander, currently held by Battista Lisone.

==Air Forces==
 +
The Fortunan Air Force is Fortuna's aerial branch and controls a majority of military aircraft.
  
−
====Artillery====
+
Until recent years, Fortuna always lacked behind the rest of Urth when it came to the designing and building of military aircraft. This can be blamed on both the nation's geographic size combined with internal conflict. Fortuna for the most part relied on outside resources for aircraft such as the [[Veridian Union]] where a majority of Fortuna's combat aircraft originated from.
  
−
==Naval Forces==
+
The Air Force falls under the command of the Air Forces High Command headed by the Head Marshal with command located outside of Imperial Fortuna City.

Under the Air Force, there are currently 50,337 active personnel.

The surface fleet for the Navy is split into three separate fleets: the Emili Fleet (1st Fleet), the Toscani Fleet (2nd Fleet), and the Ancona Fleet (3rd Fleet). The 1st Fleet's sphere of operation is within the Codex Pontus which separate Fortuna from the Free Pacific States and Pax-Draconica. The 2nd Fleet operates along the coastline of Yasteria starting from the Codex Pontus to the sea border of Eridani Theta. The 3rd Fleet operates within the Medium Sea northeast of Fortuna and has been the most active of the fleets recently. The majority of the 3rd Fleet is based within the Medium Islands, especially the Telga Islands and the sea border of Eridani Theta. Fortuna's patrol boats are scattered across Fortuna's waters, focused around the coastline of Fortuna, the waters separating Fortuna and Pax-Draconica, the more populated Medium Islands, and the border of Eridani Theta.
+
==Regulatori==
 +
The Regulatori is the fourth branch of the Fortunan Armed Forces, but rarely serves in military operations. The main role of the Regulatori is to act as the law enforcement for Fortuna and personal guards of government officials. Of 2016, they have a have 102,504 active personnel.

==Air Forces==

The Fortunan Air Force is Fortuna's aerial and smallest military branch.
+
−
 
+
−
The FAF currently operates three types of aircraft as their fighters. The FAF's primary fighter is the [[wikipedia: Panavia Tornado|E-A Aletta]], the [[wikipedia: Dassault Mirage F1|RAe Mirage F1]], and the [[wikipedia: Dassault Mirage 2000| RAe Mirage 2000]]. Both the RAe Mirage F1 and the RAe Mirage 2000 were purchased from the Veridian Union. The RAe Mirage F1 were inherited from the Emili and Anconan military from purchases back in the 1970s while the RAe Mirage 2000 were purchased in the early 2000s by the newly formed nation of Fortuna. Not wanting to mainly rely on allied aircraft, in 2005 the Fortunan government requested for the creation of a Fortunan designed and built aircraft. After nine years, the Fortunan Science and Engineering Department introduced the [[wikipedia: Eurofighter Typhoon|FSED Adreana]]. Currently only four have been built and are still going through testing.
+
−
 
+
−
For transport aircraft, the FAF operates two types of aircraft with each serving specific roles. The [[wikipedia: Lockheed C-130 Hercules|E-A Angela]] primary purpose is to serve as Fortuna's main tactical airlifter, three of which were fitted for aerial refueling. The [[wikipedia: Alenia C-27J Spartan|FSED Aria]] serves as the secondary transport.
+
−
 
+
−
The primary helicopters that the FAF uses is the [[wikipedia: Sikorsky S-61R|E-A Helena]] and the [[wikipedia: AgustaWestland AW139|E-A Hilaria]], both serving as [[wikipedia: Search and rescue|SAR]] and utility transport. Recently the FAF introduced the [[wikipedia: AgustaWestland AW101|FSED Hadria]] which is to be the replacement for the E-A Helena.
+
−
 
+
−
Currently only rotary craft are used in the navy. The three crafts include the [[wikipedia: AgustaWestland AW101|FSED Hadria]], the [[wikipedia: Kaman SH-2G Super Seasprite|FSED Horace]], and the [[wikipedia: Westland Lynx|E-A Henrietta]].

The Fortunan Armed Forces is the armed forces of Fortuna, and consists of the Fortunan Army, Navy, and Air Force. The Regulatori is also considered a part of the Fortunan Armed Forces and acts as the police force within the nation and may participate in military combat if found necessary. These four forces combined make up the majority of the military in Fortuna, and consist of around 578,175 active personnel and 1,520,000 in reserve or fit for combat, making Fortuna one of Urth's most militarized states. Fortuna requires for its citizens to serve in the military starting at the age of 18, with both men and women required to serve up to 36 months. The Fortuna Military Council, led by the current Chief Commander, heads the Fortunan Armed Forces. The Fortunan Armed Forces military budget consists of 5.2% of Fortuna's national GDP, around $26.14 billion. Even with the high spending, Fortuna's armed forces is still considered outdated and lacks behind other nations. Much of the equipment used by the Fortunan Armed Forces were inherited from the former three states of Fortuna, however the government has been working to update the military to fit with today's standard.

History

Military Service

Under Fortunan law, it is mandatory for citizens to serve a specific amount of time in the military. Once a citizen reaches the age of 18, they are required to enter service in one of the four branches. On special occasions, some citizens can get pass jumping into military service after reaching the age of 18, but they are required to serve within one of the government's departments. To be able to skip military service they must have the highest scores within their class or receive a pass from a respected government official. This has rarely taken place as it is looked down upon to not serve in the military. Most citizens who have skipped the mandatory military service later joined to finish the required time in service. Every citizen disregarding gender, species, and beliefs are required to serve. The time of service is equal for both men and women, requiring for citizens to serve 36 months.

Command Structure

As the head of state for Fortuna, Tristano Lyone has full control over the armed forces as Commander-in-Chief. He is given the title High Commander and has held this position ever since taking power. Under him is the Military High Command, led by Chief Commander Ferdinand Romano and which oversees all military activity. The Military High Command branches off into three separate commands which oversee a specific branch in the military. This includes Ground Forces Command, Naval Forces Command, and Air Forces Command. The Regulatori is run separate of the main armed forces, so the Military High Command has no control over them.

  • Military High Command of the Armed Forces
    • High Commander of the Armed Forces - Tristano Lyone (2000 - Present)
    • Chief Commander of the Military High Command - Ferdinand Romano (2001 - Present)
      • Ground Forces High Command
        • Head General of the Ground Forces - Tolomeo Ursello (2012 - Present)
      • Naval Forces High Command
        • Head Admiral of the Naval Forces - Battista Lisone (2007 - Present)
      • Air Forces High Command
        • Head Marshal of the Air Forces - Aleramo Yannicelli (2014 - Present)

Ground Forces

The Fortunan Ground Forces serves as both Fortuna's ground defense and law enforcement. The number of active ground forces is around 375,000 at all times.

Naval Forces

See also: Fortunan Navy

The Fortunan Navy is Fortuna's main priority as it is the first line of defense and protection of international shipping lanes. The navy currently has the strength of 20,167 active personnel and operates 94 vessels: 4 amphibious transport docks, 28 destroyers, 24 frigates, 6 submarines, 3 landing ships, 5 minesweepers, and a varied fleet of auxiliary ships. To protect and regulate Fortuna's waters and coast line, the Navy operates 3 offshore patrol vessels and 5 coastal patrol boats who mostly operate separate of the main fleet. Commanding over the Fortunan Navy is the position of Chief Maritime Commander, currently held by Battista Lisone.

Air Forces

The Fortunan Air Force is Fortuna's aerial branch and controls a majority of military aircraft.

Until recent years, Fortuna always lacked behind the rest of Urth when it came to the designing and building of military aircraft. This can be blamed on both the nation's geographic size combined with internal conflict. Fortuna for the most part relied on outside resources for aircraft such as the Veridian Union where a majority of Fortuna's combat aircraft originated from.

The Air Force falls under the command of the Air Forces High Command headed by the Head Marshal with command located outside of Imperial Fortuna City. The Air Force usually see little to no action with their most recent operation taking place during the annexation of the Medium Islands. Under the Air Force, there are currently 50,337 active personnel.

Regulatori

The Regulatori is the fourth branch of the Fortunan Armed Forces, but rarely serves in military operations. The main role of the Regulatori is to act as the law enforcement for Fortuna and personal guards of government officials. Of 2016, they have a have 102,504 active personnel.
