The Tribloom Defence Force, or TBDF, is the combined military force of Northbloom and the Mondosphere-occupied zone of northern Kalgachia. Established on 8.IV.1732 AN, it is named for the "Tribloom Region" of Northbloom, Abrek ("Southbloom") and Katarsis ("Westbloom"), which were historically part of the Minarborian Principality of Highbloom.
The TBDF forms the Tiny Banner Group of the Raspur Pact's Benacia Command.
Background
In the aftermath of Operation Penitent, several formations of the former Kalgachi Defence Force were maintained or recreated under the leadership of Mondosphere officers from neighbouring Northbloom, many of whom had themselves served in the KDF-supported Northbloom Dragoons. Many of these formations, most notably the former 2nd and the 4th Divisions of the KDF, were successfully incorporated within the Mondosphere-led Tiny Banner Group, but questions remained unanswered about the long-term implications of retaining Kalgachi troops under Northbloomian command, not least how- and by whom- replacement personnel would be raised, equipped and most importantly, paid for.
