Federation of Everett Terrestrial Forces

The Federation of Everett Terrestrial Forces is the surface based division of the Federation Armed Forces. Its mission is to provide for the defense of the Federation of Everett, its allies and enforce Everetti military and foreign policy during times of war and to assist in humanitarian crisis in all situations upon the surfaces of the planet Earth and the planet Flora. The Terrestrial Forces are made up of three military service branches, the Ground Forces, the Air Force and the Navy. The Ground Forces are the largest by total employed, enlisted and commissioned personnel, and the Air Force is the most utilized. The Navy is the smallest branch of the three and sea-faring vessels continue to be decommissioned as the focus on the Space Forces increases.

The Ground Forces consists of approximately 3.5 million personnel. Two million Marines are employed under active duty, rotating with another one and a half million reserve Marines. A total of 50,000 Ground Forces include the Militant Forces, a division of the Ground Forces consisting of special forces operatives. The Ground Forces utilizes a variety of nearly 900,000 combat vehicles.

The Air Force employs 850,000 personnel and maintains just over 19,000 combat aircraft and other aircraft. It also maintains control over the majority of Everetti weapons of mass destruction arsenals, including fusion weapons systems, launch silos, ballistic missile defenses, Strategic Defense systems, HAARP, GEMPA and the Planetary Defense System satellite constellation.

The Navy maintains 101 combat vessels, 50 Coast Guard vessels and five hospital ships. It employs the smallest amount of personnel of all four military branches, some 275,000 enlisted and commissioned servicemen and women. The Navy is primarily made up of aircraft carriers, battleships, submarines and littoral combat ships. Nearly all other forms of naval vessels have been phased out due to the increase in the effectiveness of the Air Force and Space Forces technology. The Navy also controls a small portion of Everett's weapons of mass destruction arsenal, including fusion warheads. The Navy's carriers utilize a force of 1,500 combat aircraft. Unlike the Ground Forces and the Air Force, the Navy entirely resides and operates on Earth, maintaining no presence on Flora.
