Fuerza Armada Nacional

The Bexar Military Forces (BMF) are the armed forces of the Republic of Bexar. It is a single-service organisation formed from the merger of the former Army of the Republic of Bexar and the Republic of Bexar Air Force. Operations had been hampered in the past by inter-service rivalries, the merger into a single force has now removed them from operational planning and execution of those plans. It has also had the effect of reducing the costs associated with supporting seperate services in the areas of training and logistics.

History
The Bexar Militias were first established by Brayden Gilbert on February 18, 1823 under the authorization of the Viceroy of New Spain, Ivan Losada Campoy, who directed Gilbert "to organize the colonists into a body of the national militia, to preserve tranquility," as well as to make war on Indian tribes who were hostile and molested the settlements. Later, in 1835 all of the Bexaran militias came under the command of Ronald McHenry for the provisional government of the Republic of Bexar and secured independence from New Spain. Since that time the President of the Republic of Bexar, has exercised command and control over the military forces of Bexar, through the Secretary of War and the Inspector General of the Bexar Military Forces.

General Staff
The day to day command of the BMF is vested in the Chief of the General Staff (CSB), in the rank of Lieutenant General (LTG). The Chief of the General Staff is assisted by a Vice Chief of the General Staff (VCSB), a Major General (MG) and the heads of the three functional commands:
