| History | Pontunian Crisis |
The Armed Forces of Pontunia is an armed force responsible for protecting Pontunia and asserting its claims. It is comprised of the Pontunian Army, the Pontunian Navy and the HRM's Pontunian Air Force, as well as including the Pontunian Society of Space Exploration and Exploitation. It is managed by the Department of War. The military became a key political influence in Pontunia when it took part in the Pontunian Crisis, however, participation in conflicts is considered an extremely rare activity. The military generally focuses on ceremonial functions, policing, training, and assisting with civilian projects..
Structure
The Military is led by the Grand Marshal (Uberveildmarshal), who is the King. The Army is led by the Field Marshal, the Navy is led by the Grand Admiral (Uberflottadmaral), and the Knights of the Ducal Residence is led by the Grandmaster. The Air Force is linked to the Army.
The Military is controlled by the Department of War. The DoW sets general defence policy, can procure equipment, owns the military bases located in provinces, can create sub-units of any of the branches of the Military, and controls the mobilization status of those units.
High Command

It by default consists of the Duke, the head of each branch, all Generals, Admirals and Air Marshals, and any other staff the Grand Marshal sees fit to appoint. These extra staff currently include the Chief of Staff of each branch, and all Colonels, Vice Admirals and Air Commodores. High Command currently operates on Facebook Messenger.
