The '''Yonderian Defence Force''' ([[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]]: ''Force de Défense Yonderre'', [[East Gothic language|Gothic]]: ''Yondersche Wehrkraft''), is the armed force of the Serene Grand Duchy [[Yonderre]]. Founded initially as a ground force in 1644 by [[Grand Duke of Yonderre|Grand Duke]] [[Auguste II de Houicourt]], the Yonderian Defence Force also operates the [[Army of the Air]] and [[Marine Yonderre]]. | |||

In | The Yonderian Army consists of ten standing divisions divided into two corps, the [[Grand Ducal Guard Corps]] and the [[Second Corps of the Army]]. In adition, the Yonderian Armed Forces also consists of a further ten skeletonized divisions, brigade-sized units intended to be mobilized and combat ready within three days in case of national emergency. Yonderre's official policy states that a wartime military strength of 480,000 personnel constitutes a sufficient deterrent to exterior aggression. The army consists of a highly mobile field army backed up by local defence units. The army defends the national territory and its military strategy employs the use of the heavily forested terrain and numerous lakes to wear down an aggressor, instead of attempting to hold the attacking army on the frontier. | ||
The [[Army of the Air]] operates some 275 fixed-wing combat aircraft divided into 21 wings. The Army of the Air also operates an arsenal of combat helicopters as well as search and rescue helicopters. The [[Marine Yonderre]] is the Navy of [[Yonderre]] and operates two [[Sentinelle-class amphibious assault ship|''Sentinelle''-class helicopter carriers]], four [[Vigilante-class frigate|''Vigilante''-class frigates]], six [[Infatigable-class corvette|''Infatigable''-class corvettes]] as well as a wide array of smaller support and auxillary ships. | |||
The Yonderian Defence Force is committed to peacekeeping operations worldwide and has been in the Pukhtun Sea as part of [[Operation Khyzer Rhykh]] since 2010. The Yonderian Defence Force has been an active party in [[the Deluge]] since 2016, the [[Army of the Air]] having led a succesful air campaign against Algoquonan militias in [[Operation Mission Shield]] and all the branches having fought as part of the later [[Operation Western Blizzard]]. The Yonderian Defence Force was also directly involved militarily in Cetsencalia and Quetzenkel during the Final War of the Deluge, fighting on land, air and sea. | |||

The Yonderian Defence Force was formed in 1644 by [[Grand Duke of Yonderre|Grand Duke]] [[Auguste II de Houicourt]] in the wake of the [[Yonderian Peasants' War]]. The [[Knights of the Realm]], the pseudo-standing army that had preceeded the Yonderian Defence Force, had proven itself incapable of dealing with an interior revolt and had even provided the rebel force with the majority of its leadership. The formation of the Defence Force, known at the time as the Grand Ducal Army, was also de Houicourt's response to the raising of local militias, de Houicourt seeking to centralize military power in the highly federalized Yonderre. | |||

This first manifested itself by Yonderre's participation in Operation Khyzer Rhykh starting in 2010 in which three Infatigable-class corvettes partook in counter-piracy opeations. Since 2016 Yonderre has partaken in [[the Deluge]], lending aid to the Armed Forces of Urcea in [[Operation Mission Shield]] and being the leading actor in [[Operation Western Blizzard]]. | ||
