The flag of the ADF.

The Military of Akimonad is officially known as the Akimonad Defence Forces (ADF). The ADF is commanded by the Head of State of Akimonad, Commodore Daniel Heusen, and is structured into four branches: Akimonad Army, Akimonad Air, Akimonad Navy and Akimonad Space.

Structure

The ADF employs ten million personnel located in various areas. The ADF lacks bases, but compensates by putting rather large presences in every major city. The exception to this is Fort Yodz and the Naval Shipbuilding Facility. Base One is a manmade island where the headquarters of the ADF are located, as well a large naval and air base.

Army

Akimonad Army currently employs 3 million personnel, equipped with M16s, MP5s, M67 grenades and gayspray. There are several special forces units of ADFarmy, but little is known about them. Snipers carry M24s. Some special forces carry M4 carbines.
