Albandrite People's Army

The Albandrite People's Army

---

The Albandrite People’s Army (APA) is the name given to the collective armed forces of the UASR.. These include the Navy, Air and Land branches of the military.
The APA acts as a professional Volunteer military, with no conscription. However, during wartime state officials can call upon a draft if necessary to defend the Socialist Revolution. This usually involves incorporating worker's militias with the main army. As of 21 September 2015, the APA has a strength of 110,000 active personnel with an additional 50,000 in reserves and a manpower of up to a million if conscription is enacted.

The APA plays a rather unique role in Albandrite society. While being a traditional defense force, the APA also engages in various political and economic programs designed to integrate communities with the vision of the Communist Party. Soldiers are often used as a labor force for construction projects, assist worker militias with policing duties, and are sent into villages in the rural countryside to train citizens basic military skills. This makes the designated APA units of particular areas more connected to the communities they are based in, as recruits are often drawn from these areas and subsequently work and train in the same areas they are recruited from.

Equipment wise, the APA is considered dated. Their gear consists of either Chinese/Soviet gear or local reproductions of that gear. Though gradually more modern equipment is being rolled out, especially in terms of ballistic protection gear for infantry and modern weaponry.
