Caselonian armed forces

Overview
The Caselonian armed forces currently consists of four branches: the People's Army, the People's Navy, the People's Air Force and the «Airborne & Strategic Rocket Forces». The "traditional" branches of service have been called the People's Army, Navy and Air Force since 1928 when they were renamed from the "Caselonian Red Army of Workers and Soldiers." Needless to say the name of the entire military from 1916-1928 was an unwieldy mouthful but post-1928 military focus, both in civil government and within the military establishment itself, has been on modernization, increasing efficiency and effectiveness and, to some extent, Westernizing the tactical and logistical models. 1928 is also the same year that ranks were reinstated and a more conventional (and more effective) military model returned to the Caselonian services.
