Encarnação Defence Force

The Encarnação Defence Force (EDF) is the military force of Encarnação. It is responsible for defending the island nation's sovereignty and maintaining the peace in the island alongside the local police force. The EDF's training, systems and traditions are based upon the Jungastian military's, with ranks, as an example, mirroring the Jungastian system. Encarnaçian officers are generally trained in Jungastian officer schools and institutions in mainland Jungastia, before arriving back into the island for service. The EDF is subdivided into the Encarnação Ground Defense Force (EGDF), Encarnação Air Defense Force (EADF) and Encarnação Naval Defense Force (ENDF). The EADF and ENDF's primary task in day-to-day operations are coast guard operations, while the EGDF is mostly tasked with guarding important locations, military depots and airports and maintaining the peace in areas where normal police have a reduced reach.
