The '''Lyran Alliance Armed Forces''', also known by the unfortunate acronym of '''LAAF''', is the military arm of the [[Lyran Alliance]]. Formed from [[Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth]]'s Lyran State Command, the LAAF promotes a return to the military and tactical style of the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]].

==Units of the Lyran Alliance Armed Forces==
 
 
 
The bulk of the LAAF TOE consists of pre-existing LCAF units who returned home upon the break-away of the Alliance from the Federated Commonwealth, though a small number of new and renamed formations exist.  Only [[BattleMech]] or mixed units are listed below - associated conventional assets are considered attached to these commands for convenience.
 
 
 
===Active Corps===
 
 
 
These brigades are active as of [[3079]].<ref>''Field Report: LAAF'', pages 8-17</ref>
