Commonwealth Defence Force
The Commonwealth Defence Force (CDF) is the unified military of the Commonwealth of Antilla. With a total of 2238 active personnel and 1104 reserve personnel, the CDF has its headquarters and base of operations at the Royal Antilla Dockyard, the only active military base in the country. The Commonwealth Defence Force is controlled by the General Staff which answers to the Minister of Defence.
As a small island nation, Antilla's military is a primarily naval force, with associated land and air elements operating under a single service command and trained in naval-based combat; for example, infantry units are cross-trained as marines and airborne infantry, and all military pilots are trained in naval aviation tactics, including close air support of naval vessels and aircraft carrier takeoff and landing.
