The Pelinese Armed Forces (Pelinese Hinomoto: ペリナイ軍隊, Perinai Guntai) is the military of the Kingdom of Pelinai. It is comprised of five branches of service: the Pelinese White Army, the Royal Pelinese Air Force, the Royal Pelinese Navy, the Royal Pelinese Marine Corps, and the Royal Pelinese Space Force. The commander-in-chief of the Pelinese Armed Forces is the Pelinese monarch. Military policy is determined by the Pelinese State Parliament and the Pelinese Ministry of Defense. Military conscription is practiced for men ages 18-20. All Pelinese high school students in their junior and senior years learn basic military skills in national patriotism class, and perform a mandatory conscription aptitude exam in their senior year of high school. The active force of the Pelinese Armed Forces is approximately 270,000 military personnel and 80,000 civilian employees. The reserve force is approximately 800,000 military personnel. The total personnel of the Pelinese Armed Forces, including civilian contractors, is approximately 1,150,000 personnel.

The Kingdom of Pelinai is a nuclear-armed state operating a nuclear triad. The nuclear arsenal of the Pelinese Armed Forces consists of approximately 12,000 nuclear warheads as well as delivery systems including air-launched cruise missiles, land-based ballistic missiles including intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and submarine-launched ballistic missiles.

Almost all equipment and materiel used by the Pelinese Armed Forces is manufactured in Pelinai by state-owned companies under the Pelinese Ministry of State Industry, and the PMoSI is legally obligated to maintain a minimum stake of 25% +1 shares in all domestic firms producing materiel for the Pelinese Armed Forces.

Mission and doctrine

The mission of the Pelinese Armed Forces is stated as the defense of the territories and peoples the Kingdom of Pelinai and its allied nations from foreign invasion and occupation, the defense of the legitimate governments of the Kingdom of Pelinai and its allied nations from internal or external attempts to overthrow them, and the defense of the security and interests of the Pelinese and Pelinese citizens. Elements of Pelinese Armed Forces also perform disaster relief and humanitarian aid in both domestic and foreign environments, execute law enforcement duties as in the case of the Pelinese Gendarmerie and the Pelinese Coast Guard, and perform anti-piracy actions.

The military doctrine of the Pelinese Armed Forces emphasizes the concepts of deep battle, battlefield interdiction, and superior firepower. Pelinese military forces prioritize the combination of the capability to destroy hostile combat support elements with the ability to quickly launch multiple large, parallel offensives or counterattacks at once. The ultimate goal of Pelinese doctrine is the achievement of strategic victory by stalling, confusing, disabling, and then overwhelming hostile military formations through establishment of insurmountable advantages in operational firepower and through the destruction of hostile formations’ and units’ abilities to advance, defend, and change their positions.

The Royal Pelinese Navy and Royal Pelinese Marine Corps perform most military power projection operations for the Pelinese Armed Forces. In contrast to the Pelinese White Army’s focus on simplified and mass-deployable equipment, the combined RPN/RPMC fleet relies on a combination of sophisticated naval aviation, surface combatant, subsurface and amphibious warfare units to quickly establish total control of the seas before performing close air support, battlefield interdiction, and amphibious landing operations as necessary.

The Pelinese White Army, Royal Pelinese Air Force, and Royal Pelinese Navy share the deployment capability of the Pelinese Armed Forces’ nuclear and other WMD capability. The Kingdom of Pelinai is a nuclear triad power fielding land-based ballistic and cruise missile, aircraft-launched ballistic and cruise missile, and submarine-launched ballistic and cruise missile-based methods of deploying nuclear weapons against tactical and strategic targets. Pelinese doctrine and legislation designate nuclear and certain other weapons as “special defensive weapons” which can only be deployed in the case of a “war of aggression against the existence of the Pelinese nation.” Authority to declare a war as such is normally given to the Prime Minister and the Pelinese State Parliament, but is automatically delegated to the Chief of General Staff and then further down the PAF chain of command in the case of each previous authority-holder in the hierarchy being incapacitated. In the event that nuclear weapons are deployed, PAF doctrine calls for their immediate and free usage as tactical weapons in order to prevent the war situation from becoming desperate enough to strictly require them.
