Zootronian Military

The Zootronian Military and Militia is small, with all arms of the military totalling 140,000 being split into the Surface forces, with 75,000 members, responsible for both naval and ground combat, the Sub-surface forces, with 10,000 members, being responsible for submarine combat, the Air forces, with 25,000 members, being responsible for air defence, and the Space forces, with 15,000 members, being responsible for extra-atmospheric operations, including reconnaissance, satellite destruction, and orbital missile defence. Furthermore, the Space forces have a 5,000 person division responsible for missile defence, commonly known as Missile Command. The remaining 15,000 are in minor divisions, like the Covert Operations Branch, and the Information Security Branch. The militia totals 500,000 members, and is called into action in times of war for national defence. The Military handles offence and defence, when not in times of war. These numbers are often supplemented by teleoperated robots and drone craft. Robots make up 10,000 additional fighting units. They are operated by the militia or the military. Zootron is working towards replacing many humans in the field with robots.
