The origins of the H.K. Armed Forces begin with the Inysta Conference and later Esperiy Conference that outlined defense policies and funding respectively. What followed was an intermediate period of reorganisation where the individual armed forces of the constituent nations were merged and amalgamated into the its respective branches. During this period, the military was classified as the New Union Military. The first move towards a unified military was made during the Vreimer Conference of 2448. Here, various figures from the armed forces of the constituent nations came together to discuss the process of merger. By 2449, two factions had emerged between the high commands of the constituents. One proposed a unified military under the federal government with the various branches having their own independent commands. The other proposed that the constituents retain their armed forces but serve under a single high command. The government demanded a settlement of the dispute and internationally, conflict had been escalating in various parts of the world. Security concerns saw it imperative a conclusion be reached. Thus, in 2451, a middle ground was reached with a unified military under the federal government as well as a unified high command that oversees and coordinates with each branch. The following year, Henry Pershing was unanimously voted to be the head of the New Union Military. He led the force for around 5 years, much of it spent in streamlining the reorganisation process until in 2457, when he retired. In the immediate aftermath, the constitution was amended and the New Union Military was rebranded as the High Kingdoms Armed Forces, officially and alternatively called His Grace's Serene Armed Forces, marking the end to the reorganisation process. |

Until 2471, the GDCU did not contain the heads of the four services. However, with the 'Powers Act' of 2471, this changed. The GDCU now contained the heads of the four service boards while a seperate Defense Management Board was established as a wing of the GDCU that had contained the heads of the Armed Forces along with Civil Service and Ministry of Defense representatives. This Board was response for the full range of Defense Business rather than operational conduct. |

Chain of command descends from the King to the President and Secretary of Defense to the GDCU and RCSC and finally to the Office of Strategic Command Regions and Forces (OSCRF). It is the official posting of the Chief of Defense Staff and the Vice-Chief of Defense staff, styled as the Commander Strategic Regions and Vice-Commander Strategic Regions respectively. They manage the joint capabilities of the four services. The Command regions are areas of responsibility as well as different doctrinal systems, operational authorities and priorities. Under each Command Region is a Strategic Command Force which has a number of duties and responsibilites overseeing a certain region (or a certain aspect of defense in the case of the High Alaxian Commands). Operational Authority in the are falls under said Command Region and then the relevant Command Force. The High Alaxian Command is a doctrinal term used to describe Command Forces belonging to no single Command Region as they either provide global theatre support (for the case of the Expeditionary, Cyber Operations, Strategic Operations and Special Operations Forces) or interstellar support (for the case of the Frontier Command). |
