The military forces of Rusana consist of the National Army of Rusana, the National Navy of Rusana and the Air Force of Rusana; in addition there exist several paramilitary and local tribal armed groups which have been extended a formal recognition as part of the Armed Forces. Total active military personnel include 150,000, with 90,000 in the reserves, and 200,000 paramilitary forces. Service in the military is compulsory for men aged 18–35, for a period of 12 months. The military expenditure was 3.8% of the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2030. The modern military of Rusana is a merger of the historical armies of Ghanim, Lakdu and Zawadia, later during the [[Rusani Civil War|civil war]] there was a purging of Islamists from the officer corps and the rank and file. | The military forces of Rusana consist of the National Army of Rusana, the National Navy of Rusana and the Air Force of Rusana; in addition there exist several paramilitary and local tribal armed groups which have been extended a formal recognition as part of the Armed Forces.

The modern military of Rusana is a merger of the historical armies of Ghanim, Lakdu and Zawadia, later during the [[Rusani Civil War|civil war]] there was a purging of Islamists from the officer corps and the rank and file. The current makeup of the army is overwhelmingly Rusani, despite the compulsory nature of service, most youths belonging to minorities attempt to evade serving in the army due to discriminatory attitudes. Cases of extreme bullying of non-Muslim conscripts are rarely solved or even investigated. Most of the equipment in use by the armed forces is imported from [[Daxia]], Rusana has no native capability to make its own equipment other than uniforms, certain ammunition calibers and light vehicles. | ||
