The Brandenberg Edicts of 2413 established the rank system for the LCAF from 2413 through the [[Fourth Succession War]].  Following the formation of the [[Federated Commonwealth]], the rank systems of both the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] and the [[Federated Suns]] were merged into a single structure.  After the dissolution of the Federated Commonwealth, the Lyran command structure was reverted to that of the Lyran Commonwealth (with few changes) as a matter of national pride.

The Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces or Lyran Alliance Armed Forces (abbreviated LCAF or LAAF) consists of several branches, including ground forces and naval forces. The political leader of the Lyran Commonwealth - the Archon - is the most senior military commander.

During the Third and Fourth Succession Wars, the Lyran Commonwealth was divided into four military districts and nine theatres, nine of which lie along borders with the Draconis Combine and the Free Worlds League. Citizens of the Lyran Commonwealth can join the military at the age of sixteen at any of the numerous recruiting centers within the Commonwealth.
