Republic of Surea Armed Forces

The Republic of Surea Armed Forces (朝本民國 國軍; Juponminggukku Gukkukun) or ROS Armed Forces, is the armed forces of Surea. For most of the post- world war II period the forces were confined to the islands of Surea and not permitted to be deployed abroad. In recent years, they have been engaged in international peacekeeping operations. Recent tensions, particularly with North Korea have reignited the debate over the status of the ROS Armed Forces and its relation to society.

 * Republic of Surea Army (朝本民國 陸軍; Jupon Minggukku Tarakun)
 * Republic of Surea Navy (朝本民國 海軍; Jupon Minggukku Umaikun)
 * Republic of Surea Marine Corps (朝本民國 海兵隊; Jupon Minggukku Umaipensai)

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a 4-star General or Admiral, is the Senior Officer of the Armed Forces and has the Operational Authority over the Armed Forces, with directions from the President through the Minister of Defense. Traditionally (with one exception), the position is filled by an officer of the Army. The chain of Operational Authority runs straight from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the Commandants of the several Operational Command. Currently there are two Operational Commands in the Army, four in the Navy (including the Marine Corps) and three in the Air Force.

The respective Chiefs of Staff of each Service Branch (Army, Navy, Air Force) has administrative control over his or her own service. Each Chief of Staff is also a standing member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Nation's Defence
The whole nation is guarded by 460 Phalanx at the coastline. Beside each Phalanx are a long-range artillery canon equipped with a DRAGOON (Disconnected Rapid Armament Group Overlook Operation Network) system, an EMP canon and two laser canons. Phalanxes are to take down enemy missiles, EMP canons are to take down enemy aircrafts, laser canons are to take down both and artillery canons are to take down enemy ships.

Eight Aircraft Carriers are placed at the coast of the nation. Two aircrafts from each carrier will patrol the coastline every two hours. Five submarines are placed nearby each aircraft carrier to protect it from enemy submarine. Air force will patrol the country’s air space once every five hours.

Three anti-spy satellites equipped with Electromagnetic Canceller (EMC) are patrolling the space above the country. The EMC will erase every electronic data from any satellite or spy plane considered a threat to the national security by disabling the satellite or plane for a short period, thus using the time to burn down the whole data storage system. Therefore, no spy-satellite could manage to send any captured information back to the home country.

A North Korean airplane, considered to be a spy drone, was reported losing control near Tengei's airspace and felt some 1000 ft before it regained control and resume flying in June 2009. Local news reports indicated that a Surean anti-spy satellite had used its EMC on that plane for security measurements. Since that incident, the northern border of Surea was reported to have tighten it's defence.
