The Military of The Phoenix Milita, or simply "The Phoenix Military" is one of the most powerful militaries in the world. The Phoenix Military is older than The Phoenix Milita(TPM) itself, it founded several years before as a secret paramilitary organization beholden to no government or political body. It only became organized in it current form in June of 2003 however, but this date still predates the founding of TPM by several weeks. Field Marshall Maximus Seville II is the commander-in-chief of all armed forces.

Organization and Rank Structure
In most tactical environments, senior enlisted are usually in effective command over junior officers (1LT and below) and as such they are given the authority to command most units up to company size independently of commissioned officers. Junior Commissioned officers generally relay mission objectives to the senior NCO who then recommends the best course of action.
The Army, Air Force and Marines use the exact same rank, and the Navy uses identical insignia except for the fact that it is blue instead of red and has different names for each rank(names for the navy shown in blue). The KOP and SPX special operations units use entirely different rank. While all of the services have multiple combat uniforms placement is standard
Army and Marines: (and Militia)
- 1 Fire Team = 3-6 men [Usually led by E-3 PFC or E-4 SPC but may have no leader (default leadership would go to the E-2 with the longest time in service]
- 2-4 Fire Teams = 1 Squad [Led by E-4 CPL, E-5 SGT or E-6 SSG]
- 4 Squads = 1 Platoon [Led by E-6 PSG E-7 SFC or in rare cases E-6 SSG ]
- 4 Platoons = 1 Company [Led by a Captain or Major and an E-8 1SG or in rare cases E-8 MSG]
- 4-6 Companies = 1 Battalion [Led by a Major or LTCOL and an E-9 SGM]
- 2-3 Battalions = 1 Regiment(special units)[always led by a Colonel or Commander and an E-9 CSG]
- 4-5 Battalions = 1 Brigade [Led by a Commander or higher E-9 SGM or E-9 CSG]
- 2-12 Brigades = 1 Division[Always led by General or higher, any E-7 to E-9 can serve as enlisted liaison]
- 3-5 Divisions = 1 Corps[Always led by special rank "Commandant"]
- 2 or more Corps = "Operational Maneuver Group(OMG){Air Force and Marines}", "Army Group" or simply "Army"{when it is comprised of army units}[Led by Field Marshall Seville II or in rare cases a 5 star General]
- OMG-A Operational Maneuver Group Alpha
While The Phoenix Milita's Armed Forces has more than 200 million regular troops, and spends well over $45 trillion a year on the military, only a small force is maintained on active duty 24/7. The actual personnel making up OMG-A, or Operational Maneuver Group-Alpha, are drawn from different units throughout all the military branches. The tour of duty in OMG-A is about 7 months and is considered a hardship tour. OMG-A operates all day every day, with the responsibility of mounting a strong defense or quick counter-attack. They train to be attacked without notice, and as such are always near their equipment. The tankers sleep in their vehicles, the pilots sleep in their cockpits, the aircraft support crews sleep beside the aircraft in the hangar.The infantry don't even go to the bathroom without their rifle and 224 rounds of ammo and not a single naval vessel travels slower than 20 knots at any time. Upon completing a tour in the OMG-A, no soldier can be re-assigned to it for 5 years, and all of those who serve in OMG-A receive the Guardian service ribbon. The regular military can be activated rapidly if needed, and it trains 5 days/50 hours a week but is allowed much more "down time" and recreation than those in OMG-A.

Universal Defense Forces
All physically fit men are issued the following equipment on their 16th birthday, regardless of whether or not they are entering or intend to enter the militia, any branch of active or reserve military. Women can be issued the same equipment for free upon request. One BDU hat with TPM logo(to fulfill uniform requirement of certain international conventions on the conduction of warfare) one semi-automatic rifle with three loaded 20 round detachable box magazines or six 10 round en bloc clips(depending on particular rifle issued) one crate of ammunition holding four 100-round boxes of armor piercing rounds(to be opened only in an emergency) and one high explosive multi purpose muzzle launched rocket and one bayonet. No training is given other than issued pamphlets and manuals. Due to the "gun culture" in The Phoenix Milita, most of those issued generally practice shooting on their own, and attend optional bi-annual town meetings that are called to discuss tactics and strategy.
- Estimated Strength(based on rifles issued)
- 166,880 7mm Militiaman riflemen
- 1,325,000 6.66mm Long riflemen
These forces are not counted among active, militia, ready, or even inactive reserve.
International Augment
The [International Augment to the Phoenix Milita, known as IA-TPM or simply IA, draws its officers and senior NCO's via lottery from the Active Militia, the Active Army, the Active Marine Corps and the Reserve Army. The IA is under the administration of the Army and falls below the Militias in the command structure. There are currently 7848 troops from extra-regional nations and ~1000 from regional nations(from Tyrador and Johnified America) in addition to about 950 TPM personnel. The primary nationalities of extra-regional members are Roman Republican, with former citizens of the nation Theao and A Few Rich People making up the difference. To date the IA has never been deployed.

Training
The Phoenix Milita allocates approximately $500,000 per active duty soldier and the general commitment is 8 years (Training for the Phoenix Military technically begins at age 5 and never ends unless a soldier retires or is disabled during training or combat.)
