====== Torland Defense Forces ======

The **Torland Defense Forces (TDF)** are the unified military forces of [[Torland]]. Established in 1946 as part of the **Yusey Plan**, the TDF comprises the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, Union Guard, Intelligence Command, Military Police, and other military entities. They are controlled by the Department of Defense with the [[President of Torland|President]] acting as commander-in-chief.

In recent years, the TDF has engaged in international peacekeeping operations with the United Nations. Tensions with North Korea have reignited debate over the status of the TDF and its relationship to Asian societies. Since 2010, the TDF has refocused from countering the former Soviet Union to the People's Republic of China, and since the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine the TDF has also considered the Russian Federation a major threat; increasing military cooperation with Australia, India, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States, as well as acquiring new equipment and hardware.
