The Federal Forces of Nouvelle Alexandrie (FFNA) are the military forces of the Federation of Nouvelle Alexandrie. Originally constituted as the Alduro-Wechua Armed Forces upon the founding of the Federation of Alduria and the Wechua Nation in 1685 AN. The armed forces are tasked by the Proclamation of Punta Santiago to guarantee the sovereignty and independence of Nouvelle Alexandrie, defend its territorial integrity, and the constitutional order.
The Federal Forces of Nouvelle Alexandrie consist of five service branches: the Grand Army of the Federation, the Federal Navy, the Federal Air Force, the Federal Space Force, and the Federal Guards Service.
From its inception in 1685 AN as the union of the Aldurian and Wechua armed forces, the FFNA have played key roles in the history of Nouvelle Alexandrie. The armed forces have helped create a sense of national unity and identity at many points in New Alexandrian history, especially during the early years where the Federation expanded rapidly in territory. The Defense of the Federation Act, 1694 and the Home Guard Act, 1711 are crucial pieces of law that established the Federal Military Establishment, headed by the Secretary of Defense.
The King of Nouvelle Alexandrie heads the armed forces as its commander-in-chief. The Council of State forms military policy and the Secretary of Defense acts as the principal person to carry those policies out. The FFNA draws its personnel from a large pool of professional volunteers. Though the Proclamation of Punta Santiago allows military conscription, it has not been used. The government of Nouvelle Alexandrie retains the power to conscript males and females, requiring all citizens and residents between the ages of 18 and 30 to register in the conscription rolls.
History
Formed from the Military of Alduria and the Military of the Wechua Nation in 1685 AN. Transfer of allegiance to the Federation of Nouvelle Alexandrie took place during 1693 AN.

Command Structure
The interim command structure, implemented 24.VII.1690, directly replicates that introduced by the Sanaman Armed Forces, allowing for differences in local circumstances and organisation.
Joint Chiefs of Staff Council
The Joint Chiefs of Staff Council is the body of the most senior commanders of the Alduro-Wechua Armed Forces, providing advice to the King of Alduria-Wechua, the Secretary for Defence, and other entities on military matters. The council does not have operational command over the armed forces. Operational command flows from the King as Commander-in-Chief, through the Secretary for Defence, to the Joint Commanders in the field. The council consists of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Council, the Vice Chairman, the Commanding General of the Federal Army, the Chief of the Admiralty, the Chief of Staff of the Federal Air Force, the Commandant of the Federal Coast Guard, and the Commandant-General of the Federal Guards Service.

Army
The Grand Army of the Federation comprises of thirty Territorial Defence Units, corresponding to the equivalent number of states within the federation for which they have defensive responsibility, supported by twenty-three airmobile Rapid Response Units. These units are then organised into six Combined Arms Corps, each corresponding to five of the regions of the federation and a sixth (Outremer) concerned with overseas and colonial deployments, bolstered with air-defence, armour, and artillery regiments.
As noted, the VI (Outremer) Combined Arms Corps encompasses the ten new states and eleven special cities mooted in the colonial expansion of 1688. Owing to the geographically dispersed nature of these new colonies, this combined arms corps is orientated towards cooperation with naval forces and the marines as well as the organisation of local levies and volunteer forces drawn from settler communities.
The personnel of the army are organised into regimental corps based on their combat role. Each regimental corps is headed by a staff responsible for training and doctrine within the corps. The regimental corps staff do not command the field regiments affiliated to the corps. The staff and training units are organised into regiments. The regimental corps inspector-general reports directly to the Army Staff.
- Regimental Corps of Infantry
- Regimental Corps of Artillery
- Regimental Tank Corps
- Regimental Air Defence Corps
- Regimental Corps of Engineers
- Regimental Signals Corps
- Regimental Corps of Aviation
- Regimental Intelligence Corps
- Regimental Corps of Transport and Logistics
- Adjutant General's Corps
- Regimental Corps of Medical Services
With the proposed expansion of the Alduro-Wechuan occupation of Lyrica receiving the green light from the international community, a seventh combined arms corps headquarters was established in mid-1689 AN with the deduction of a squadron from each field infantry regiment hitherto assigned to territorial defence units within the other CACs. These would form the basis of regimental combat teams sent out to secure the locations identified for colonial settlement, with shortfalls in infantry numbers being made good by transfers from combat support services, the navy, the air force, and the federal border guard.

The Federal Navy maintains numerous naval installations which act as the home bases, training centres, repair & construction facilities and command centres. These installations help to support and maintain the Federal Navy in its operations on a regular basis and are an important component of the support structure of the Military of Alduria-Wechua. The Federal Navy draws heavily upon the maritime and martial traditions of Alexandria, Caputia, and Gotzborg.
The lynchpin of the organisation of the Federal Navy are the fleet dockyards, primarily for the maintenance, overhaul, and repair of vessels, which also include base infrastructure for headquarters units, fuelling facilities, arsenals, and supply depots. Fleet dockyards are typically built in heavily defensible positions protected by coastal artillery emplacements, small harbour defence vessels, and perimeter defence troops drawn from the shore establishment of naval personnel stationed at the dockyards. Fleet dockyards are always referred to as "His Majesty's Alduro-Wechuan Dockyard", suitably abbreviated where appropriate, so for example - HMAW Dockyard Punta Santiago.
Next in size comes the Base. The base, while smaller than the Dockyard, usually has many of the same facilities although on a smaller scale. Defence will likewise be less than what would be found at a Dockyard. There are limited repair and outfitting facilities, typically geared towards vessels of around 500 tonnes. Bases are referred to much like dockyards, for example HMAW Naval Base San Francisco.
The Naval Station is next and is subdivided into two types, regular or Colonial. A regular Naval Station is a permanent installation while a Colonial Naval Station is usually a temporary facility intended to support only a specific mission or effort being made at the time. A Naval Station, whether regular or Colonial is a facility whose repair capabilities are very basic. Defensibly, a Naval Station only has assigned a contingent of ships' personnel for base protection and does not have coastal artillery available. Naval Stations are normally not built into a defensible area and sea-side protection is often provided by the units assigned to the area as opposed to having its own units, however some Stations do employ small cutters, inspection vessels and motor launches. Supply facilities are minor but can offer replenishment for a vessels artillery, food and associated needs but would not be able to replenish a major fleet or large squadron of ships for instance. All Naval stations provide refuelling facilities however these are limited and cannot provide for simultaneous replenishment of vessels like a Base or Dockyard can. Colonial stations are found in the new states founded in the Skerries Isles and the settlement of southern Jaris, and are hence dependent upon the regular resupply of provisions and fuel to maintain their effectiveness.
The smallest installation is the Naval Establishment which does not necessarily have to be located within a coastal region. The Establishment can be considered more like a 'whistle-stop' and provides only the most basic of communications, docking, fuelling and supply facilities and in some cases, none of those. Inland, the establishment is a unit used for the recruitment and training of naval personnel, as well as acting as the centre for all Naval Reserve activity, and also in certain circumstances to serve as an administrative unit supporting naval personnel attached to combined arms formations.
The present manpower establishment of the Federal Navy comprises of 106 admirals, 515 post-captains, 394 commanders, 2,091 lieutenants, 8,200 other officers, 168,000 other ranks, and 144,000 marines.
Apollonian Fleet
The Apollonian Fleet is the main naval force for Lyrica, New Luthoria, and the Islas de la Libertad. It is the smallest of the three fleets, and is based out HMAW Dockyard Beaufort. They have secondary Naval Bases at Rochefort and Estefanía. In total, they have three Battle Groups: Lyrica, New Luthoria, and Libertad BGs. Only Lyrica BG possesses a Cruiser and Destroyer ship, as well as an Amphibious Transport Dock. There is also the 3-sub large Apollonian Submarine Group.
Euran Fleet
The Euran Fleet serves as the naval force for Alduria. It is only slightly smaller than the Keltian Fleet, and is based at HMAW Dockyard Punta Santiago. It has Naval Bases at Beauhamais and Piriya. It has three Battle Groups: North, West, and East BGs. Each possesses at least 1 cruiser and 1 destroyer, and there are two Submarine Groups of 4 subs each. North BG also posesses an Amphibious Assault Ship and a Amphibious Transport Dock.
Keltian Fleet
The Keltian Fleet serves as the main naval force for Wechua, Santander, and Valencia. It is the largest fleet, and is based out of HMAW Dockyards Jirishanca. It has a Naval Base at San Fransisco. It is divided into two Battle Groups: West and South. Each Possesses at least 1 Cruiser and 1 Destroyer, and there is the Euran Submarine Group with 9 subs. West BG furthermore possesses an Amphibious Assault Ship and Amphibious Transport Dock. The fleet also possesses the Pride of the Fleet, the light aircraft carrier HMS Manco Capac.
Colonial Marines and Auxiliaries
The remit of the Colonial Marines and the Auxiliaries as a combined force, covered the defence and security of the littoral waters, harbours and port installations, coastal settlements, and overall exclusive economic zone (EEZ) that passed under the sovereignty of Alduria-Wechua during the colonial expansions that followed in the wake of the Proclamation of Punta Santiago. With the majority of existing naval assets assigned to the Apollonian, Euran and Keltian Fleets, in line with their origins with the naval services of Alduria and the Wechua Nation prior to the establishment of the union, the needs of the initial Colonial Fleet were met by a combination of new builds, procured directly from the shipyards of the Pontecorvo Firm, and requisitioned commercial shipping.
Each colonial state of the new foundations (North Lyrica, South Lyrica, etc) serves as the duty station for a Marine Infantry Brigade subordinated to the Colonial Marine Command. A Marine Infantry Brigade consists of four demi-regiments (x1 Command & Control, x2 Landing Force, x1 Raiding Force) and one combat support regiment (x1 Amphibious Mobility Cohort, x1 Artillery Landing Cohort, x1 Combat Service Support Cohort) amounting to a total establishment of 3,600 marines per brigade.
Air Force
The Federal Air Force of Alduria-Wechua had been in existence for a scant five years as of 1690 AN. However in terms of personnel and equipment the air force could trace its lineages back to the aviation arms of the military of Alduria and the military of the Wechua Nation. Both these forces were of minimal establishments, with the burden of air defence both on Eura and Keltia being shouldered by the continental theatre commands of the Raspur Pact. Since the Proclamation of Punta Santiago in 1685, and especially with the ensuing concerted effort to infill the gap between the two realms through an intensive programme of colonisation culminating in the pacification of Lyrica, the air force has had to expand exponentially in order to ensure territorial coverage and support for land and maritime assets that were, at times, perilously spread thin during the campaigns of conquest and settlement that had been embarked upon.
Aware that it would not be facing organised resistance by first rate opponents under any circumstances where the assistance of the Raspur Pact could not be swiftly called upon, the expansion of the air force was initially predicated upon the mass production of comparatively cheap light attack aircraft and medium transport planes - the T-4/A-4 Flecha and the C-11 Mula respectively - distributed across ten air fleets with modern multi-role strike aircraft organised into two Federal Air Defence Wings (one stationed in Cárdenas and the other at Punta Santiago) with the Federal School of Aviation based at Parap receiving the two-seater training versions of the FA-9B Banshee and the remainder of the dedicated training aircraft (x10 T-2/A-2 Saeqeh, x25 T-3 Akóntio, x26 TP-5 Alpha).
The advantage of this programme, although it delayed the building up of an advanced striking force, such as that put into being by Sanama over a comparable period, was that the air force instead focused on building up cadres of experienced pilots, well versed in ground attack missions, ready for conversion to fast jets when these began to enter service as the multinational Project 1700 entered into its maturation and production phase. The modernisation and expansion plans for the air force, centred around the F-9 Ashavan II, F-17 Axarana, Javelin F-18 Cyclone, Javelin Industries helicopter series, and R-2 Krähenwürger heavy assault rotorcraft, are intended to be complete by the year 1720 AN.
Within the aforementioned resource constraints the Federal Air Force attempts to maintain one air fleet per region, subdivided into banner air groups corresponding to the number of states within their respective region of operation. The number of airframes, and accordingly of operational squadrons, is determined by the contributions to the Continental Theatre Commands of the Raspur Pact, as mandated by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. There is a high degree of flexibility in the internal organisation of the air fleets, with the rapid transfer of aircraft and aircrews between banner air groups according to operational needs. This means that squadrons tend to form, transfer, and disband, with great alacrity - meaning however that esprit de corps is sometimes wanting as units of a necessarily temporary nature struggle to achieve meaningful cohesion.

Federal Guards Service
Federal Royal Guards
The Federal Royal Guards are an independent, highly-trained unit of the Federal Forces tasked primarily with the protection of the King, the Royal Family, important members of the Government, and visiting foreign heads of state or government. The Federal Royal Guard also provides physical security for the Palace of Carranza, the Cortes Federales building, the residences of the President and Vice-President of the Government, and all foreign diplomatic missions in Cárdenas, FCD. This also includes protective operations to coordinate manpower and logistics with regional and local law enforcement, protective advances to conduct site and venue assessments for protectees, and protective intelligence to investigate all manners of threats made against protectees. The Federal Royal Guards is also in charge of the planning, coordination, and implementation of security operations for events designated as special events requiring extra security provisions and planning, usually involving foreign heads of state or government or a member of the Government or the Royal Family. As part of the Guards' mission of preventing an incident before it occurs, the agency relies on meticulous advance work and threat assessments developed by its Intelligence Division to identify and neutralize potential risks.
The Federal Royal currently has a strength of 4,800 troops, constituting a fully functional combat unit drawn from the ranks of all branches of the Federal Forces.
Coast Guard
Border Guard Force
The Border Guard Force is Nouvelle Alexandrie's primary security organisation at its borders with Çakaristan and Hurmu on Apollonia, Constancia on Eura, the Hexarchy, Imperial Federation, and Vales on Keltia, and the frontiers with the Green across all continents. It is also responsible for ensuring the security of the riverways of the Federation and related matters.
The Border Guard Force comprised some 230,400 men under arms, organised into 192 regimental detachments with an average strength of 1,200 enlisted. As such it constituted one of the largest branches of the Federal Guards Service.
As Keltia is the last continent with open frontiers for the borders of Nouvelle Alexandrie to face onto, this is reflected by the prioritisation the 67 regiments of the Border Guard Force assigned there receives in terms of manpower and equipment.
Federal Support Corps
The Federal Support Corps serve as the military corps that are shared by all the branches of the Federal Forces, often providing specific professional expertise or support to the Federal Forces.
The Federal Support Corps are five:
- the Military Emergencies Unit;
- the Military Legal Corps;
- the Military Comptroller Corps;
- the Military Medical Corps;
- the Military Band Unit.
Initially comprising of 36,000 personnel assigned to the Military Emergencies Unit, the Military Legal Corps, the Military Comptroller Corps, the Military Medical Corps, and the Military Band Corps, the Federal Support Corps would expand rapidly after 1691 AN to provide the main source of general purpose auxiliaries and construction troops required for the Defence Special Works Programme and provides the primary interface between the Federal Forces and the National Qullqa System, allowing for resources to be requisitioned from the latter and delivered to the specified destination point.
Military Emergencies Unit
A brigade strength formation, six thousand strong, comprised of five regiments, dedicated to providing disaster relief services and aid to the civil power.
Regiment | Headquarters | Area Served |
---|---|---|
1st MEU | Narbonne | Alduria (West Bank) |
2nd MEU | Bathshahr | Alduria (East Bank & Baatharz) |
3rd MEU | Parap | Wechua |
4th MEU | Cárdenas | Federal Capital District & Santander |
5th MEU | Chambery | Valencia |
Military Legal Corps
The Military Legal Corps of the Federal Forces works in judicial and legal advising and assessment in the Department of Defense and in all military tribunals and judicial organizations.
Military Comptroller Corps
The Military Comptroller Corps exercises the internal audit of the economic and financial management of the Department of Defense and the Federal Forces, and of all military public agencies dependent on it. Likewise, it is responsible for acting as the military notary in the form and conditions established by the laws and for advising in matters of its competence to the superior and directive departments of the Department.
Military Medical Corps
The Military Medical Corps is entrusted with attention and care for the health of service members of the Federal Forces and all related fields, such as psychology, pharmacology, and veterinary medicine.
Military Band Unit
The Military Band Unit is in charge of all the Federal Forces' music bands and services, such as but not limited to the preparation and direction of its military branches.
Euran Auxiliary Corps
In the aftermath of Operation Paramount, the 9 Rapid Response Units deployed into the region were withdrawn for reassignment to Norvind for operations against Zeed in the culminating months of the Third Euran War. This left security in the newly established state of Villalba in the hands of the Federal Guards service, which deployed a mixed force of border guards and personnel from the Federal Support Corps to fill the void. By this stage the initial landing zones taken by airborne assault in 1698 had been turned into forward operating bases and the next phase of Augustus Strong's "ink-blot" strategy for the conquest of Villalba State was to transform these sites into colonial settlements. To this end, on 18.XIII.1699 AN orders were sent out by the Secretary of Defence to the mayors of municipalities in the regions of Alduria, Santander, and the Wechua Nation, to collect those able-bodied presently in detention within their jurisdictions, for selection parades that would be attended by officers of the Federal Guards Service on 24.XV.1699 AN. The municipalities would receive a 1,000 écu cash bounty for every suitable person selected for voluntary enlistment, so as to incentivise their cooperation. These recruits would be assigned to the nine cantonments now in the possession of the FGS, where a colonial regiment apiece would be raised.
Corps-General Eugène Fouché, a veteran of the pacification of Altus, was recalled to the colours from retirement and appointed to the command of the Euran Auxiliary Corps on 20.II.1700 AN.
Home Guard
Established under the Home Guard Act, 1711, the Home Guard is a volunteer part-time militia into which all licenced firearms owners are enrolled as a condition of their permit. Home Guard Regiments, serving as an administrative and operational cadre for the organisation, are active in each state (second tier subdivision) of the Federation. Full musters of the Home Guard may only occur during instances of war or national emergency where such conditions have been established by a proclamation of the State Council.
Home Guard Regiments are subject to the command and discipline of the Federal Guards Service, and as such cadre personnel can expect to support the internal security and logistical support remit of that branch.
