Are General Staaff is considered finest. Thus we can have great control over branches before, after, and during armed conflict. Another thing is that all branches cooperate with each other well.

Probably for our use of chemical weapons as terrain denial weapons. (Although we tend to gloss that over in our history books.) Other than that, I suppose we'd just be known for our massive artillery barrages and for the tenacity of our paratroops.

EDIT: Almost forgot about my submarine forces. They're right up there.

Our military is famous for its advanced technology and almost the complete lack of human participants. Most of our defenses are mechanized and automated, and due to constitutional limits on jingoism, there is little need to organize expansionist or imperialist efforts. The few humans who still work in what is considered to be an archaic job by the Federation's citizenry are seen not as heros, but as desperate people unwilling to accept the blessings of efficiency. These few human military men often never leave their house, controlling unmanned machines through a simulation program for difficult operations such as rescuing citizens being held hostage abroad.

Know that we have no de jure national armed forces, however most corporations and land owners have a contract with one or more military security firm, or an insurace policy that covers military defence. Because of this we are famous for coorporations fighting private wars with foregin powers.
