The armed forces of the Dominion have seen conflicts on large scale and small scale and have developed a very well trained fighting force due to these experiences. While it is not capable of being considered as elite in the officer corps or the combat effectiveness of a nation such as Munatan who has seen far more combat it can be considered one of the top militaries in the region by both tactics and overall combat effectiveness. This is all due to the wars that were fought when the nation was run by the Elven Council and President. The armed forces have not changed in image since the change of governments as the navy and airforce have remained the largest branches of the armed forces with the army being the smallest of the branches.

Army

The army is comprised of a full volunteer force as is rest of the armed forces. The army is the smallest branch in the entire armed forces but is well equipped and trained. It has seen action in every condition europe has to offer. The army specialises in Mountainous and forrest warfare since that is what most of the nations terrain is comprised of. The army officer corps is comprised of Senior officials from the Forrest Elves time and they simply remained in service when the government switched to remain loyal to the state. This has allowed the armed forces to keep its high combat effectiveness since most of the army, aswell as navy and airforce still have men in service from the Elven period.

Navy

The navy of the Dominion is by far the most skilled navy in the region with it having scene service all over Europe from the Elven period aswell as the time of the Dominion. The navy of the Dominion is also the most technologically advanced navy in the region always remaining in the lead of cutting edge technology for both surface combat and submarine warfare. This is mainly because the Dominion is completely surrounded by water so it relies upon the navy the most out of all the branches so it consistently recieves more funding then any other branch in dollars per ship ratio to maintain this supremecy over the waters of Europe.

Equipment

CVN-77 - This is an advanced version of the Nimitz Aircraft Carrier designed to reduce its signature aswell as electronic self-interference. It has a reduced cost compared to many nations aircraft carriers as the design and materials have made this possible. Its Signature is reduced by the curved flight deck edges, enclosed antenna farms, smaller islands and internal aircraft elevators to add to the maximum stealth. It also has expanded badnwidth giving more onboard and offboard capability giving the ship a communications edge.

Kirov - The largest class of Cruisers on the Sea and the most expensive to maintain. These are extremely upscaled versions of the Cruiser and carry more firepower then that of a regular cruiser. These ships are often the size of battleships that serve in the fleets of other nations and are well prided upon because of their huge gun platforms.

Ticonderoga Cruiser

Arleigh Burke Destroyer

Hazard Perry Frigate

Seawolf Nuclear Powered Attack Submarine

Typhoon - The largest class of Ballistic submarines on the sea. These mammoths swallow the attack submarines in size aswell as many Ballistic submarines of other nations.

Bismarck - Largest class of Battleships on the Sea. The Dominion has fitted these already Bemouths to operate as Command ships in the absence of a carrier aswell as operate anti-shipping helicopters making these the most powerfull ships in the fleet right behind the Ballistic Submarines and Aircraft Carriers.
