The Leftist Defence Force, often abbreviated to the LDF, is the gameplay military force of The Leftist Assembly. As per its Mission Statement, it is tasked with defending the region and its allies and invading fascist and capitalist regions. It is led by Marshal The Final Horseman.

History

The military was originally named the United Armed Forces and was established on 21 February 2016 with the ratification of the Constitution. Following a widespread lack of activity, experience and members, the force was proposed for "radical" change by Secretary Losinia and Minister of Defence New Tuva SSR, with a name change and condensation of the chain-of-command to three ranks. New Tuva SSR was eventually fired for accused incompetence and was replaced by The Final Horseman as part of the events in the April Crisis, which resulted in Losinia going rogue and being replaced by Prime Minister Atealia as Secretary. While The Final Horseman continued in their role, Atealia made no further progress on the idea and the military stagnated for this time. Upon Secretary Llorens' election, The Final Horseman was reappointed and the military was refounded about one week later on 9 July 2017, with important new changes including the separation of operational and promotional rankings and the release of a new members-only page on the regional website. On 10 July 2017, work commenced on a new training manual.

Structure

The rankings are separated into operational and promotional rankings.
