The Batavian Armed Forces, known under the name Bataafse Strijdkrachten, is the national military of the Kingdom of Batavia. In 1669 AN, the Armed Forces were mainly composed of militias and 'leftovers' of the formerly occupying armies made up the main part of the Forces. Attempts to streamline the several military organisations under the Baerdemans Cabinet, with the passing of the Law on Batavian Armed Forces, were met with resistance and ultimately failed. As a consequence, the troops present during the coronation of Arkadius IV were a mixed bag of military ranks, uniforms and even nationalities (as the armed forces of the Dominion of Batavia consisted of Shirerithians).
During the reign of king Arkadius IV, the army was reorganised and its structure streamlined. The Leeuwenkorps grew in size and united the hundreds of smaller militias during the 1670's. During the Batavian Revolution, part of the armed forces was in shambles or ignored orders to shoot on the masses. Confronted with the high costs to keep the Forces in active duty, prime minister de Withe promised to limit the Army's size to 30,000 troops by 1688 AN.
