Personnel
The Emeraldian Armed Forces are a mix of professional and conscripted personnel. In total 1,860,000 people serve in the Emeraldian Armed Forces, of which almost 20,000 are civilian full-time employees. There are four personnel categories: civilian, standing, volunteer reserve, and conscripted reserve. The three military categories mainly differ in peacetime readiness, the amount of training they receive, and sometimes also in capability and equipment. The standing forces consist of full-time employees and has high readiness and capability. The volunteer reserve have high readiness but duties with less complexity. The conscripted reserve has moderate readiness but generally high capability.
The distribution of personnel between the services and categories is as follows(Estimated Numbers):
Service | Standing | Volunteer
Reserve |
Conscripted
Reserve |
Total |
---|---|---|---|---|
Army | 400,000 | 150,000 | 300,000 | 850,000 |
Navy | 460,000 | 300,000 | - | 760,000 |
Air Force | 100,000 | - | 50,000 | 150,000 |
Marine Corp | 60,000 | 15,000 | 25,000 | 100,000 |
Total | 1,020,000 | 465,000 | 375,000 | 1,860,000 |
Additionally there is the grand reserve which is a list of all personnel that have once served in the Armed Forces but are either too old for the standing forces and the conscripted reserve, or those who have chosen not to enlist in volunteer forces, that could be called to serve again to replace heavy losses in a prolonged conflict. Several million people are listed.
Recruitment
Military (or civilian) service is compulsory from the age of 18 for all men and women. The training is normally at minimum seven months. While many still are conscripted, the yearly number of conscripts has been greatly reduced since the 1980s, more due to modernisation requiring less personnel than an actual disarmament.
After having completed the training, the recruits are given a choice to continue serving in a professional career in one of the standing units, or join the reserve (the so-called mobilisation forces). Personnel that belongs to the reserve are required to participate in recurring refresher training and exercises. After having reached the upper military age, which varies depending on type of service, career personnel and reservists may volunteer to join the local defence forces.

There are four service branches in the Emeraldian Armed Forces: the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, and the Marine Corp.
