Coburan Armed Forces

The Coburan Armed Forces are the military organisation of the Republic of Cobura. Formed in the early 2100s the Coburan Armed Forces has remained relatively unchanged in its structure until the recent reforms by Defence Minister Omid Faqua.

Organization
The Defence Ministry serves as the administrative arm of the Armed Forces, and the Defence Minister is responsible for appointing the various heads of the branches. The Defence Minister has full control over the deployment of the military and can veto any orders by subordinate commanders. In effect, he has executive power.

There are four branches of the Coburan military, consisting of; the [[Coburan Army]Army], the [[Coburan Navy]Navy], the [[Coburan Air Force]Air Force] and the [[Coburan Special Forces]Special Forces]. These various branches are commanded by a 'chief' and they in turn are commanded by the Chief of Staff, who is responsible for all branches.

The command hierarchy is as follows:


 * Chief of Staff
 * Chief of the Army
 * Chief of the Air Force
 * Chief of the Navy
 * Chief of Special Forces

The Chief of Staff is mainly involved with military planning and acting as a military advisor to the Defence Minister. The Chief of the Army has control over the land-based troops, the Chief of the Air Force controls all air-based troops (including the airborne infantry), the Chief of Navy controls all sea-based troops (including the marine infantry), and the Chief of Special Forces is responsible for the various special forces units.
