First organized in [[13 PC]] for the first time by decree of [[Dux Falcone]], their establishment was one of the first adjustments to the existence of a wider world after the [[Second Calming]].

A separation between domestic and international enforcement of government rule was proposed by the [[Entrance Commission]], a committee formed after the Calming with the unsuccessful goal of having La Rossa diplomatically engaged with the rest of the world.

== Structure ==

The supreme commander of the Rossan Armed Forces is the [[Dux of La Rossa]], carrying the title ''Ammiraglio'' in military contexts. While La Rossa has not found itself in armed conflict, should it occur, the Dux may delegate acting power of control over the military to a commander of choice.

The Armed Forces distinguish between two sets of officers, those being ones enlisted and leading officers. The leading officers, often university-educated, are hand-picked from the pool of enlisted, and are mostly involved in strategy and planning.
