Air Force

Sendersdale's Air Command (AIRCOM) is the air force element of the Senderlian Forces. AIRCOM is the descendant of the Royal Air Force of Sendersdale (RAFS), which was Sendersdale's air force from its foundation in 1924 until February 1, 1968. After 1968, the RAFS was merged with the Senderslian Army and the Royal Navy to form the Senderlian Armed Forces.

The air force is positioned on the five areas of Sendersdale and Rogorith. LFB Mordoza , LFB Tugir , LFB Sommish , LFB Honneur , and LDB Rogorith .

Navy

Sendersdale's Sea Command (MARCOM) is the naval service of the Canadian Forces, and as such, it is also the senior service of the Canadian Forces, following the traditions set by the forefathers of the country. MARCOM is the descendant of the Royal Navy which was Sendersdale's naval service from the navy's foundation in 1910 until 1 February 1968. After 1968, the RCN was merged with the army and air force to form the Senderlian Armed Forces. SEACOM's ships still bear the acronym HMS as they did before 1968.

The air force is positioned on the three areas of Sendersdale and Rogorith. LFB Mordoza , LFB Sommish , and LDB Rogorith. The navy does occasionally make long term stays at LDB Patriotisme at certain times in the year however.
