{{main|Lucrecian Armed Forces}} | |||
As one of the oldest extant armed forces in the world, the Lucrecian armed forces was established as the [[Emeritan Army]] and the [[Emertian Navy]] during the early years of the [[Emeritan Republic]] when it was a {{wp|city state}}. With the emergence of the Republic during the 2nd Century BC and the rise of the First Caphiric Imperium, the armed forces took on a more Caphiric character, with the army soon becoming the [[Emeritan Legion]] as it moved away from levies and conscripts to professionals and volunteers. The Legion and Navy would survive the Nobles' Treaty and remain in existence as the [[Lucrecian Republican Legion]] and the [[Lucrecian Republican Navy]], with the [[Lucrecian Republican Air Force]] eventually being formed in the early 20th Century as the invention of planes brought in a new air-bound theatre to future conflicts. Asides from the three main branches, there also exists the [[Lucrecian Republican Gendarmerie]], serving as the militarised arm of the nation's police service, the {{wp|guard of honour|ceremonial}} [[Lucrecian Republican Guard|Lucrecian Republican, Pretorian, and Consular Guard]] for the protection of government officials and the royal family during functions and parades (with everyday protection being provided by the [[Federal Protection Unit]], itself a branch of the nation's civilian police force the [[Lucrecian Federal Police]]), and the [[Lucrecian Republican Civil Force]], the nation's {{wp|military reserve force}} for all three of the main branches of the armed forces. | |||
