ARMY (Heer)
The German Army, or Heer, in German, is an extremely efficient force. Its structure includes a universal mass conscription policy for short-term military service followed by a longer period in reserves. The German Army places a great emphasis on high quality training and maintains a large number of experienced senior officers.
Planning and operational control is conducted by the General Staff. The Kaiser is the official Commander-in-Chief, but the Army chief of staff, Freidrik von Mommsen is the effective leader in the field. The Army is organized into four Armies, the American Army, the European Army, the African Army, and the Asian Army. Each commands all ground operations in their areas of operation in the world. The European Army is commanded from Hanover, the African Army from Windhoek, the American Army from Caracas, and the Asian Army from Madang.
The German Army currently is comprised of four divisions of roughly ten-thousand men each, including armored support and mechanized elements. There is a single division assigned to each of the four German Army groups. The 1st Mechanized Infantry Division is assigned to the African Army, the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division to the American Army, the 3rd Armored Division to the European Army, and the 4th Special Mission Division to the Asian Army. In addition to these men, for every one man in the field, there are six men behind him, serving in logistical positions throughout the Empire. Supporting the well-trained and professional army is a reserve force made up of army veterans. This force can contain anywhere from seven hundred thousand to one million combat troops at any one time. They are well armed, but have no dedicated armored vehicle support, and exist only as a light infantry force. The Army command is centralized in Hanover, while the Reserves are commanded through a series of Command Posts throughout the Empire, with no serious centralized command.
Here is an expample of an Armored, Speical Mission, Infantry and Mechanized Infantry division, the three large-scale operational units of the German Army. The division is usually the smallest operational unit deployed by the German Empire, and most are equipped properly enough to handle a range of threats. Following the divisional breakdown is a list of the equipment used by the Imperial Forces both internally and overseas. Most of the technology there is also used by the reserves, although it is possible that they may be using less advanced weapons.

The Panzers are the Armored Fist of the Kaiser. They are the cutting edge of the mighty spear that has often been rammed through enemy lines during war. The Panzers form experienced Panzerkompaien whose crews are very highly trained. Germany does not believe in sending ill-trained troops into battle in the valuable Panzers and so German Panzer crews receive many many months of intensive training. The results of this can be seen on the battlefield. Intelligence estimates that at least six enemy tanks can be destroyed for every German vehicle lost; often the retio is much higher.
The leathality of the Panzerkompanie is assisted by the quality of our Panzers Germany's latest designes are some of the most advanced in the world and strike fear into the hearts of enemy tank crews. Even the older German designs are as efficient as many of the enemies latest vehicles. It is only the larger number of enemy tanks available that is of concern to the Panzer crews; for every one that would be knocked out seems to be replaced by three more. This is of no matter though; this just gives the Panzer crews more enemy vehicles to knock out.

The fooslogging Grenadierkompanien are much more common than the motorized Panzergrenadierkompanien. The German Grenadier is a tough and self-reliant warrior. You cannot speak highly enough of them. They have fought and gained victories for the Fatherland in the trenches and fields of the past, and will continue to do so in the future. It seems they are unstoppable.
The Grenadierkompanie is a vital component of the army and the Grenadiere will be seen preforming great and heroic deeds for Germany when both attacking and defending. But bravery alone is not enough. The Grenadierkompanie is supported by a large array of heavy weapons, enough to handle almost any situation. The Grenadiere rely on their feet to move themselves into battle, and many still use horses to move their equipment. There are few luxuries like trucks to be found in the infantry--another reason for their toughness.
But the real reason for the success of the Grenadierkompanie is the superior basic training of the Grenadier, which emphasizes teamwork, personal initiative, and self-reliance. Not to mention the inherent superiority of the average German over other peoples.

The Panzergrenadiere back up the armor. They combine the mobility of the Panzers with the tenacity and staying power of the infantry. The cooperation between tanks and infantry has enabled larger enemy enemy forces to be crushed again and again. The Pansergrenadiere are very well equipped and supremely confident in their abilities. Rarely does an enemy force come off best in a clash with a Panzergrenadier company.
Panzergrenadiere speed to the heart of the battle in trucks then dismount to fight. Their mobility allows the Panzergrenadiere to strike the enemy hard before they even know that they are nearby. Some more fortunate Panzergrenadier ride in armored carrier vehicles or armored half-tracks. These are expensive and the Panzergrenadierkompanien commander that gets all his knocked out may get an angry phone call from High Command, so the armored vehicles will usually stay back from the fighting and support the Panzergrenadiere with machinegun fire. Some commanders do not care though; they say, 'You cannot make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.'

NAVY (Kaiserliche Marine)Until the late 1990s Germany relied on his large and well trained German Army for defense. However, in 1997, Germany's new head of the Imperial German Navy, Admiral James von Tirpitz, a descendant of the legendary Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz, advised the Kaiser Fredrik IV that the country needed a large modern navy. Before that, the navy had consisted only of nineteen fifties era support ships and a single out-dated battlecruiser. This new Tirpitz, like his legendary ancestor, argued that this new navy would help protect Germany's growing overseas empire and its northern coastline from enemy attack. In 1999 the German Navy Laws once again authorized the massive expansion of the country's navy.
By 2006 the German Imperial Navy (German: Kaiserliche Marine) had expanded more than four-fold. This included 7 modern dreadnoughts, 5 aircraft carriers, 8 battlecruisers, 35 cruisers, sixty escorts, and 20 battleships. Germany also has 40 nuclear-powered submarines (with 10 more under construction). The Kaisers navy was growing to become a major world player. The German Navy is divided into three different fleets, the North Sea Fleet, based in Stettin, the Atlantic Fleet, based in Luderitz in the state of South-West Africa (German: Deutsch-Sudwestafrika), and the Far Eastern Fleet, commanded by the Crownprince Leopold, based out of the German-Chinese city of Tsingtao. German Naval Headquarters is located in Stettin, alongside the command of the North Sea Fleet.

AIR FORCE (Luftwaffe)The German Air Force, or Luftwaffe, is a large and well-funded organization. Germany has always maintained a large and powerful air force, and the Empire under Kaiser Fredrik IV is no different. The current commander of the Luftwaffe is General Erich von Ritter, under him serve the commanders of the Fighter Arm and the Bomber Arm, General Arnold Comes and General Oberst Knoblauch, respectively. Between them they command over five-thousand aircraft, including large transport aircraft, who answer to General Knoblauch of the Bomber Arm. All helicopter aviation is handled by the German Army Air Services. The Luftwaffe’s primary command center is in the city of Hamburg.
There are four fleets established under each of the two Aviation Arms of the Luftwaffe, each will operate in a single theater of operations in the Empire. There is the South American Air Fleet, the Central European Air Fleet, the South African Air Fleet, and the East Asian Air Fleet. Each has its own command center from which all theater air operations are commanded.

NAVY (Kaiserliche Marine)Until the late 1990s Germany relied on his large and well trained German Army for defense. However, in 1997, Germany's new head of the Imperial German Navy, Admiral James von Tirpitz, a descendant of the legendary Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz, advised the Kaiser Fredrik IV that the country needed a large modern navy. Before that, the navy had consisted only of nineteen fifties era support ships and a single out-dated battlecruiser. This new Tirpitz, like his legendary ancestor, argued that this new navy would help protect Germany's growing overseas empire and its northern coastline from enemy attack. In 1999 the German Navy Laws once again authorized the massive expansion of the country's navy.
By 2006 the German Imperial Navy (German: Kaiserliche Marine) had expanded more than four-fold. This included 7 modern dreadnoughts, 5 aircraft carriers, 8 battlecruisers, 35 cruisers, sixty escorts, and 20 battleships. Germany also has 40 nuclear-powered submarines (with 10 more under construction). The Kaisers navy was growing to become a major world player. The German Navy is divided into three different fleets, the North Sea Fleet, based in Stettin, the Atlantic Fleet, based in Luderitz in the state of South-West Africa (German: Deutsch-Sudwestafrika), and the Far Eastern Fleet, commanded by the Crownprince Leopold, based out of the German-Chinese city of Tsingtao. German Naval Headquarters is located in Stettin, alongside the command of the North Sea Fleet.

AIR FORCE (Luftwaffe)The German Air Force, or Luftwaffe, is a large and well-funded organization. Germany has always maintained a large and powerful air force, and the Empire under Kaiser Fredrik IV is no different. The current commander of the Luftwaffe is General Erich von Ritter, under him serve the commanders of the Fighter Arm and the Bomber Arm, General Arnold Comes and General Oberst Knoblauch, respectively. Between them they command over five-thousand aircraft, including large transport aircraft, who answer to General Knoblauch of the Bomber Arm. All helicopter aviation is handled by the German Army Air Services. The Luftwaffe’s primary command center is in the city of Hamburg.
There are four fleets established under each of the two Aviation Arms of the Luftwaffe, each will operate in a single theater of operations in the Empire. There is the South American Air Fleet, the Central European Air Fleet, the South African Air Fleet, and the East Asian Air Fleet. Each has its own command center from which all theater air operations are commanded.
