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 | The '''Yonderian Defence Force''' ([[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]]: ''Force de Défense Yonderre'', [[East Gothic language|Gothic]]: ''Yondersche Wehrkraft''), is the armed force of the [[Yonderre|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]]. | ||
The ground element of the Yonderian Defence Force 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 Defence Force also operates a further ten skeletonized divisions, brigade-sized units intended to be mobilized from reserves and combat ready within three days in case of national emergency. Yonderre's official policy states that a wartime military strength of 580,000 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 ground element of the Yonderian Defence Force consists of ten standing divisions divided into two corps, the [[Grand Ducal Guard Corps]] and the [[Second Corps of the Army]].
