=History= Recent military involvement in Rutania has been small for over 300 years. As of now the Rutanian Armed Forces have seen little action since the Commonwealth has been established.

During the 2300s Rutania was called the Rütanen Reich, a facist nation and for almost 100 years the RAF (then called the Rutanen Reich Army) was involved with 2 wars.

=Organization=

Rutania's armed forces are organized through the country's Ministry of Defense, which oversees a structure of joint command and control functions with many units reporting to various commanding officers. The military was restructured in 3275 in order to allow more flexibility and control over how the military was run. 3 of the 4 branches were given their own separate agencies (under the control and authority of the Ministry of Defense) and a degree of autonomy in respects to funding and self regulation.

Rutanian Navy
The Rutanian Navy is the strongest branch of the military, with significant portion of the ministry of defense's funding being allocated towards the branch. This has allowed the Rutania to have one of the most advanced navies in the world with the most cutting edge technology. The Navy supports naval relations across Terra and is responsible for military-related affairs, foreign and domestic.

Rutanian Air Force
The Rutanian Air Force is the aerial warfare service branch of the armed forces and has been dubbed the branch for "nerds and daredevils" given the stringent academic requirements to join and the history of missions flown during times of war.

Rutanian Strategic Command
Rutanian Strategic Command, also known as StratCom, is charged with providing intelligence for the country and the 3 other military branches. The branch is also responsible for maintaining any military infrastructure in space and controlling the production/usage of Rutania's biological,chemical and nuclear arsenal. Established in 3275, it is the youngest and smallest branch of the armed forces.
