The Territorial Defence forces form the largest component of the Federacy's military reserves (the other components being the Naval Reserve and Army/Airforce Retired Reserve), and play an integral rôle in its homeland defence planning. They are now closely tied to the federal military through financial, training, and equipment transfer arrangements. Whereas the Regular Army and the Army Marine Corps are focused on an expeditionary and colonial mission profile, the provincial forces have taken on primary responsibility for homeland defence readiness, serving to deter aggression against the Federacy's major landmasses and to combat domestic threats. | The Territorial Defence forces form the largest component of the Federacy's military reserves (the other components being the Naval Reserve and Army/Airforce Retired Reserve), and play an integral rôle in its homeland defence planning.
