The Istrenyan military is relatively small, and has continued to shrink since the Istrenyan Civil War. The Army doubles in its role as a national gendarmerie, and lacks much of the heavy equipment, radios, and modern weaponry in order to be an effective fighting force. Concurrent to this, the military has long been plagued by corruption amongst its senior officials and been unable to procure new equipment, relying instead on international aid of intervention by Arcerion when there is issues with insurgents, subversive groups, or rebels. | |||
Currently, the military is organized into three divisions (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) each with three infantry brigades and supporting units such as artillery, engineers, signals, and artillery. The Army lacks tanks and heavy armored fighting vehicles, instead relying on an aging fleet of armoured cars, trucks, and jeeps that in some cases pre-date the 1956 Civil War. The Army uses a variety of foreign-acquired weapons meaning that logistically it is difficult to resupply or maintain its current arsenals. All of these problems are combined with poor pay and low morale, and ethnic divisions within the Army are high as the majority of its officers and NCOs are drawn from more economically prosperous and stable Eastern Tribes, whereas the rank and file conscripts are majority Western. | |||
The Istrenyan Air Force oeprates a few small fixed winged aircraft, mostly in the reconnaissance role, as well as light-strike. The majority of these are converted civilian aircraft, and the few fighter jets the national procured in the 1980s have fallen into a state of disrepair and have not been seen to have been airborne since the early 2000s. It possesses a few small lighter civilian-pattern helicopters for VIP transport and limited troop lift. | |||
The Istrenyan Navy has patrol vessels and coastal cutters, | |||
