The Armed Forces of the Pontesian Dyanstic Commonwealth (AFPDC) includes some 100,000 active troops and 400,000 reservists, giving Pontesi one of the smaller armed forces on Terra. It is notable for largely being compromised out of irregulars such as mercenaries, private military companies and paramilitary, as well as its use of modern-day horse cavalry (due the mountainous nature of the Pontesian landscape).
