The Royal Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Lapody was established in [[2031]] as a three-branch armed service including the Royal Army, Royal Air Force, and Royal Navy. The armed forces were created as a merger of the military forces of Verecundia, Vorenia, and Loreseia. When the Army and Air Force were established, it was provided that a 45/45/10 ratio of commissions would be granted to the officers of Vorenia, Verecundia, and Loreseia respectively, with any surplus being transitioned to senior NCO or reserve officer roles. The law that provided for this structure also provided that all units would be dissolved and recompiled using mixed personnel rather than by employing existing national unit formations. This had the practical effect of fusing the army and air force together and avoiding potential rivalries between old national units and officers. The Royal Navy, meanwhile, was established by renaming the Grand Ducal Navy of Loreseia, the only state of Lapody's three predecessors to have a coastline. | The Royal Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Lapody was established in [[2031]] as a three-branch armed service including the Royal Army, Royal Air Force, and Royal Navy.

The Royal Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Lapody are designed to be an independent fighting force, capable of projecting Lapodian power throughout eastern [[Levantia]] and into [[Audonia]]. The original charter legislation of the Royal Armed Forces provided that Lapody views itself as the "fifth tent pole" of the Levantine Union, envisioning Lapody as a peer of [[Burgundie]], [[Yonderrre]], and [[Fiannria]] in terms of military strength (the other tent pole being [[Urcea]]). Accordingly, the Royal Armed Forces are only tangentially designed with capability for integration within [[Levantine Union Defense Council]] forces, as Lapodian leaders envision being able to prosecute a war as a full partner rather than as subordinated forces. | |||
