Ordrish Workers' Defense Forces

The Ordrish Workers' Defense Forces (: Cossaintefórsa Cerdhíathé Ordrais), abbreviated Coscero in the Ordrish language, is the combined military service of Ordrey. It is a composed of three professional service branches: the Combined Ground Forces, the Navy, and Air Force. In addition, the Ground Forces has control of the nation's military police, the Scethíathé, while the Air Force oversees the Rocketry Corps and the Space and Orbital Defense Corps. The First Commissar acts as of Coscero, generally represented in day-to-day operations on the National Defense Council by the General Secretary of the Directorate for the National Defense, where they work alongside the First Officers, unique among other modern militaries in that they are elected among the leading commissioned officers by their respective service branches.

Ordrey is currently estimated to have the fifth-largest defense budget in the world and the third-largest in Alutra.

History
While related to the pre-Revolution military tradition of Ordrey, Coscero does not consider itself a direct continuation of the Ordrish National Armed Forces and their antecedents. Instead, it considers its founding to be in 1974 during the events of Red November. From its inception until the mid-1990s, the Ordrish military was heavily involved in military vanguardism, intervening to assist leftist revolutionary movements, primarily those of a Noyonist character, often being complement to actions undertaken by its ally Velorenkya. With the beginning of detente and the adoption of the Universal Struggle Doctrine under Jois Derba in the mid-1990s, Ordrish interventionism declined dramatically, though deployments of smaller units and integrated military advisors into these organizations have continued to the present. Ordrey became a nuclear power in 1957 during the Third World War, while the modern government captured the Second Republic's nuclear arsenal in 1978, one of the events which prompted the surrender of remaining Republicans and the end of foreign intervention. The modern Coscero is most often seen working in concert with its traditional allies in Alutra and Osamia, and has generally integrated the command structures of Lathadu into its forces through the Aarnieu Fraternity.
