The Kiravian Armed Forces trace their heritage to the Kiravian Republican Army, formed in XXXXX when the Pan-Republican Kurultai resolved to unite the various militias fighting against the Viceroyalties under a common military command headed by General Vasilius? Serotin. After acheiving victory in the Republican Revolution, the KRA was deactivated and for the first decade of its existence, the Confederate Republics of Kiravia had no standing army, instead relying on voluntary contributions of state troops to Confederal officers commissioned on an ad hoc basis to carry out missions of national importance.

The Confederate Republics did, however, establish the Kiravian Republican Navy to protect the island nation and its lines of communication to Koskenkorva, Sydona, Wintergen, and the western coastal settlements. | ||
The Kiravian Republican Army was revived as a unified force in order to fight the Continental War against the Aboriginal state of Drail and its allies. After the war and the ensuing constitutional reforms that converted the Confederate Republics into the Kiravian Federacy, the KRA was reorganised as the Army of the Federation or Kiravian Federal Army, a standing army permanently under federal command. Over the next centur(y,ies), the Kiravian Army took part in the colonisation of inland Great Kirav, Kironesia, Slakonian, Woolzistan, Avalonica, Castala, and Intida; the Kiro-Fakolan Wars; some other Ixnay thing. Then the Colour Wars. The Kiravian Navy was instrumental in the acquisition of numerous island colonies, numerous trade-related conflicts with Burgundie, and the protection of the emerging thalassocracy’s overseas possessions, sealanes, and trading interests. | The Kiravian Republican Army was revived as a unified force in order to fight the Continental War against the Aboriginal state of Drail and its allies.

The Fundamental Statute preserves the right of individual states to maintain armed forces for their own defence by virtue of dual sovereignty. Subsequent legislation also extends this privilege to territories and the two federal districts. Under the Confederate Republics and early Federacy, voluntary contributions of state forces and militia provided the backbone of Kiravia's military manpower. The relationship between state and federal forces has evolved over the centuries through legislation, changes in practice, and federal-state compacts. Today, state forces form the largest component of the Federacy's military reserves (though a purely federal Army Reserve does exist) and play an integral rôle in its homeland defence planning. Though state forces cannot be forcibly federalised like the US National Guard except in the event of a ground invasion of a major Kiravian landmass, in practice state governors and legislatures will never refuse to contribute forces to a federal operation if asked, and the state forces are closely tied to the federal military and government through financial, training, and equipment transfer arrangements. State forces regularly participate in federal operations overseas, and are highly valued for their terrain specialties. For example, if fighting in a subarctic environment, the Federal Army would call upon the state troops of [[ | The Fundamental Statute preserves the right of individual states to maintain armed forces for their own defence by virtue of dual sovereignty.
