| − | The CCAF has traditionally employed a strong [[aerospace fighter]] contingent, hoping to stop invasions before they can get on the ground.
| |
| − | | |
| − | During the [[Third Succession War]], the CCAF largely went on the defensive due to its smaller size compared to the other [[Successor States]]. They created a sort of elastic defense, with battalions holding down border worlds. Each battalion was only supposed to hold out until help could arrive from strategically located reserve forces. This worked very well for the small-scale raids that were the late 3rd War, but did not hold up well against a full-scale invasion. Prince [[Hanse Davion]] took advantage of this during the [[Fourth Succession War]] by using massed forces against multiple planets, overloading the CCAF's ability to respond.

| − | Even in more recent times, Capellan units are often smaller than their counterparts in other nations.

| − | Despite the overall poor reputation of the CCAF and their poor performance in the [[Fourth Succession War]], it should be noted that the Liao army is easily underestimated. They were overrun by vastly superior number and at the same time hampered by no less than two enemy double-agents and two other traitors in their highest command positions, and a ruler drifting off into madness. No army could shine under such circumstances, and remaining in existence is probably no small feat.{{cn}}

| − | The CCAF (and the [[Warrior House]]s) recuperated from the devastating war in a surprisingly short time. Immediately following the Fourth Succession War and still severely weakened, they were capable of beating back the [[Duchy of Andurien]] and the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] at the same time. In fact, the average Liao [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] tends to be slightly more skilled than his counterparts from other Houses, and the CCAF in general has a practical skill to make the best of their situation.
| |
| − | | |
| − | All Liao-designed 'Mechs (especially their early designs, ''[[Vindicator]]'', ''[[Raven]]'' and ''[[Cataphract]]'') have proven over and over again to be thoroughly well-designed and capable, as well as cheap and easy to build.

| − | ==Deployment Status==
| |
| − | In [[2750]] the CCAF had a strength of 42 BattleMech Forces and 30 [[WarShip]]s. As of [[2765]] they were well equipped with 92 'Mech regiments, and the naval fleet had a volume of 37 vessels.<ref>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 49, "Member State Troop Strengh"</ref>
