The Ljetzan Armed Forces (Nationalarmee von Ljetzan (German), literally "National Army of Ljetzan" is the land force of the Principality of Ljetzan.

The armed forces consist of the Land Forces (Landstreitkräfte von Ljetzan) and the Air Forces (Luftstreitkräfte von Ljetzan).

The Prince of Ljetzan is the commander-in-chief of the defence forces and forms military policy along with the Ministry of Defence. Military policy is primarily carried out by the Ministry.

The Ljetzan Army is a volunteer-based military force, with a current personnel count of 5 in active service, with 6 other members styled as reserve. Military spending for the 2023 year, accounts for one per cent of state expenditures.

History

In 2020, the Principality of Ljetzan established a military known as the Volksarmee ("People's Army"). Volksarmee forces had the fundamental task of maintaining public order and security during the declaration of Independence of the principality and subsequent administrative changes. In 2023, after the Regency period transitioned into the Principality of Ljetzan, the new regime changed the military's name to Nationalarmee von Ljetzan ("National Army of Ljetzan"), which it has been known by ever since.

In 2024, Ljetzan issued its Declaration of Neutrality, meaning that it would never join a military alliance. The Ljetzan Armed Forces' main purpose since then has been the protection of Ljetzan's neutrality. Its relationship with other armies is limited to humanitarian and peacekeeping operations.

Mission

The main constitutional tasks of today's Ljetzan military are:

to protect the constitutionally established institutions and the population's democratic freedoms.
to maintain order and security inside the country.
to render assistance in the case of natural catastrophes and disasters of exceptional magnitude.

Appearance

The dress uniform is grey; for formal occasions a white uniform may be worn. The air force uniform is identical, with the addition of wings worn on the left jacket breast—gold for officers and silver for enlisted personnel.

Branches of service are identified by beret colours: navy for the honour Guard; scarlet for infantry; green for armour; cherry for airborne; and dark gray for quartermaster.Insignia of rank are worn on the jacket lapel of the dress uniform (silver stars on a red or gold shield) and on the epaulets of the field uniform (red, silver or gold stars on an olive drab field).

Ranks and insignia

The rank insignia of officers and personnel from the Landstreitkräfte, Luftstreitkräfte and Jagdkommando.

Traditions

Some of the traditions of the old Venetian and Austro-Hungarian Army continue to be carried on in the Nationalarmee, such as to colloquially naming their units with names of historical figures of the Principality or throwing caps and exclaiming the name of the patron saint in case of victory or as a form of respect for the prince or the royal family.
