Historically, the Royal and Imperial Army saw the most action and was the primary focus of the nation's military efforts, but since the [[Great War]] the Navy has evolved into the branch of primary concern, given Urcea's maritime border with [[Caphiria]]. In modern times, Urcea's Armed Forces are primarily engaged in [[New Yustona]] and [[Crona]], but prior to the [[Assumption Accords]] it was heavily deployed in [[Urlazio]] and in [[Talionia]]. The Urcean military's budget exceeds $3.6 trillion dollars, among the largest in the world during peacetime but trailing [[Caphiria]].

The Royal Air Force is the smallest of the three branches, with more than 3,400,000 active duty personnel and more than 1,000,000 reservists. The Royal Air Force maintains some 47,108 pieces of equipment, including 10,578 fighters, 1,826 bombers, 2,938 ground attack aircraft, 11,132 cargo planes among other varieties of aircraft. The Royal Air Force was previously known as the ''Royal Air Fleet'' and was founded in 1904 for the purposes of coordinating all military airships.
