== Challenges ==


The Pelaxian Armed Forces face several challenges, including the aging armored personnel carrier fleet, the absence of a modern Main Battle Tank, and the need for revitalization of the Marine Expeditionary Force. To address these challenges effectively, the DEFENSA 2050 strategy outlines strategic initiatives and priorities aimed at modernizing and enhancing our military capabilities across all branches. In addition to land-based threats, the Pelaxian military recognizes the necessity to enforce and effectively protect sea routes around the Kindred from international threats and foreign aggressors. To address this challenge, maritime security capabilities will be enhanced, including the modernization of naval assets and the development of maritime patrol and interdiction capabilities to safeguard vital sea lanes and maritime interests.
