State Military
The State Military (アメストリス軍部, Amesutorisu Gunbu?) is Amestris' primary mode of offense and defense. Throughout the history of the country, it has existed to put down uprisings and annex surrounding hostile countries into its borders. It is led by King Bradley, and uses a ranking system common of most real-world militaries. In the manga, the State Military is basically just the puppet force called upon to further the homunculi's plans. Many of the soldiers' names are taken from the makers of fighter aircraft and airplanes.p.176
