United Islands Defence Force

The United Islands Defence Force consists of three brances - the United Islands Army (UIA), the United Islands Navy (UIN) and the United Islands Air Force (UIAF). The Defence Force was established in 1893 and has continued in the same basic form for more than a century. The Air Force was established as the service's third branch in 1925.

Command
The UIDF's Commander-in-Chief is the President of Georgeland, who usually, but not always, acts with the advice of the government and the Prime Minister. The Defence Force has its own Chief Officer, usually referred to simply as the "Chief". The position of Defence Force Chief is an appointed one, the appointment being made by the President from advice from the government. However, in practice the appointment 'rotates' between the three services every four years, the President always choosing the head of the service next in the rotation. No President or Government has deviated from this practice since 1971. The current Chief of the Defence Force is Air Chief Marshall Louis Branson of the Air Force. The current chiefs of the three branches are: When ACM Branson's term finishes in mid-2006, General Tucker will assume the role of Defence Force Chief.
