Michaelberg Armed Forces

Introduction
Despite being a neutral nation apart of The Democratic Order, Michaelberg still has a world-renown military known as the Michaelberg Armed Forces. Created during the Michaelberg Revolution against the United States of America, the Michaelberg Armed Forces started with only 2 Divisions with obsolete weaponry and very few armoured vehicles. As time went on however, the Michaelberg Armed Forces grew to meet the defensive needs of the soveriegn nation of Michaelberg and now includes 10 Infantry Divisions and 2 Armoured Divisions.

Brief History
When Michael Guderian was first struggling to oppose the strong United States Army, he decided that he would need to create a formal military service with organization charts, ranks and qualified personnel. So, Guderian officially created the Michaelberg Armed Forces which were originally to simply be a paramilitary wing of his business, Michaelberg Corporation. Guderian, being too busy to have to deal with the new armed forces' creation and maintenance gave the very important job to a friend of his from his days at West Point, David Manson.

David Manson, a very smart individual with great ideas regarding modern military strategy and logistics, knew exactly how to set up the Michaelberg Armed Forces and successfully created 2 Motorized Infantry Divisions, which had access to a limited amount of armoured vehicles. Despite being so small with only 1,000 personnel each, the 2 Divisions fought bravely in combat against the Americans and successfully held back the aqgressors while taking only limited casualties. Following the revolution, and the proceeding creation of the Sovereign State of Michaelberg Michael Guderian, now known as 'Blitzkreig1010' to all his followers', officially gave David Manson the position of General of the Michaelberg Armed Forces as gratitude for all his hard work during the revolution.

Now that Michaelberg was a neutral nation and a member of The Democratic Order, Field Marshal Manson decided that it was time to reorganize the Michaelberg Armed Forces. To start the reorganization, Manson formally discharged the entire armed forces from duty and began to create different branches of the Michaelberg Armed Forces. The branches of the Michaelberg Armed Forces that were to be created by Manson, in the order that they were created, are the Michaelberg Defence Forces (MBDF), the Michaelberg Air Force (MBAF), the Michaelberg Navy (MBN) and the Michaelberg Expeditionary Force (MBEF).

The Michaelberg Defence Forces
By far the largest of all the various military branches, the Michaelberg Defence Forces was created right after the creation of Michaelberg. Being commanded by General of the Michaelberg Armed Forces himself, the MBDF is constantly growing to meet the needs of the ever growing Michaelberg population. At this moment, since the nation has a population of approximately 60,000, the Michaelberg Defence Forces currently consists of 10 Infantry Divisions and 2 Armoured Divisions, each with approximately 1,000 military personnel.
