New Duveland Defence Force

The New Duveland Defence Force (NDDF) is the military organisation responsible for the defence of New Duveland. It consists of the Royal New Duveland Navy (RNDN), New Duveland Army, Royal New Duveland Air Force (RNDAF) and a number of 'tri-service' units. The NDDF has a strength of just over 60,000 full-time personnel and active reservists, and is supported by the Department of Defence and several other civilian agencies.

During the first decades of the 20th century, the New Duveland Government established the armed services as separate organisations. Each service had an independent chain of command. In 1977, the government made a strategic change and established the NDDF to place the services under a single headquarters. Over time, the degree of integration has increased and tri-service headquarters, logistics and training institutions have supplanted many single-service establishments.

The NDDF is technologically sophisticated but relatively small. Although the NDDF's 42,553 full-time active-duty personnel, 19,774 active reserves and 16,324 standby reserves make it the second largest military in Oceania (behind Australia), it is still smaller than most Asian militaries. Nonetheless, the NDDF is supported by a significant budget by worldwide standards and is able to deploy forces in multiple locations outside New Duveland.
