The Chicago Defense Forces (CDF) are the military forces of the Corporate Republic of Chicago, providing the small nation-state with protection from its enemies. The CDF was established on August 27, 2007 from the Chicago Police Department and the Illinois National Guard stationed in Chicago during the beginning of the Second American Civil War. In all of the military operation of Chicago since 2007, the CDF has served as the sole military force of the country, and have performed an excellent job in maintaining the soverignty of the nation. The sheer number of battles fought by the CDF in Chicago's short five-year long history as an independent nation have made the military one of the most battle-trained armed forces in the world.
The Chicago Defense Forces have a unique place in Chicago's history as an institution. Its conscription of women, strong role in the country's economy and industry, and contributions to the educational system in Chicago have made the CDF an all-important body in the nation. CDF is the second-most advanced military force on the face of the earth, having in its power such corporations like Boeing, which was formerly the third-largest military contractor in the United States, providing highly-advanced military aircraft for the air force. The wide-spread missile shield of the CDF have prevent attempted missile strikes on the nation's important economic centers, and has bolstered the military's popularity.
