Branches:
Rechzene Strike Forces - includes all of the traditional branches coalesced into one. This force in its entirety is lead by a Generalissimo, with respective generals, for the highest divisions, and the customary military hierachy for smaller subdivisions. While there are unique armies and groups each of different status and function, they are yet to be identified.

Overview:
Thanks to the large population of the national animal, the Guerilla, Rechzene forces largely are comprised of and draw soldiers from, their fellow native population, who enjoy warfare, and are thus well suited, as well as being more populous than Rechzenians.

Rechzene grounds forces are comprsed of yet, about one million ground soldiers, dominantly reserve soldiers, and few heavy weapons and vehicles, while it only maintains a small highly trained standing army. Due to this small size, the Rechzene army never attacks with brute force, in which case it would be bound to get annihilated. Therefore it reverts often to guerilla, insidious, and astute tactics, with much emphasis placed upon training of officiers and tacticians. It does not however involve itself in terrorism, but assymettrical warfare

The air force however is the elite section of the forces, and there is heavy reliance upon Rechze's planned to be massive and elite air force. Varied are the fighter plane types, yet all are manufactures in foreign areas, as Rechze, iis still far from being enough developed to do so. However The armed republic of Rechze will continue to purchase foreign jets, so that its forces do swell, and approach reaching what defense officials wish it to be.

Only five warships as of yet are part of the Rechzene strike force, two carriers that aid the air force.

While generally, military camaigns in space , are somewhat far from where Rechze is now, the state does see it as a future venture to be reached with research.
