The Griffon Military has evolved a great deal since the Dragon Wars. Where before it was just an alliance of warriors from different clans with scattered airship support, today it is an organized army well capable of facing challenges presented from any terrain. In the Dragon Wars, the Griffon Military suffered immense casualties due to being unable to cope with dragons. A single dragon could wipe out an entire battalion of Griffons with one fell swoop. After the war these lessons were well learned and The Griffon Royal Navy was established, often referred to as The Griffon Armada. The Griffon Airships are more than capable of handling dragon fire and artillery, the have also provided a method of deterrence due to their sheer size.
The Griffon Military is divided into two major bodies -
The Griffon Royal Aer Corps and The Griffon Royal Navy. Each with its own distinct part in the application of Griffon Military Policies. Both are considered equally important and of fair contribution to the Kingdom.
THE ROYAL AER CORPS
The Griffon Royal Aer Corps consists majorly of fighting griffons and is used mainly in small operations or in defense of cities. The Aer Corps can be viewed as a mostly defensive force while the Navy can be considered an offensive one. Aer Corps Griffons are trained to fight defensively on both the ground and in the air and hold the Royal Guard unit of the Griffon Kingdom. Their lack of air-ship support makes them unfit to fight away from Griffon Territory with the exception of guerrilla operations.

THE GRIFFON ROYAL NAVY
The griffon fleets are massive, more than just a simple contingent of ships under the orders of the crown, the fleets are instead better thought of as an entire clan of griffons operating from giant floating armadas. Each fleet distinct with its own goals and governance under the direction of the Crown but independent all the while. They, in essence, operate in a type of confederacy with the king in Royal Rocks as the ruler - but not exclusive power. The Fleet Admirals are part of the Griffon Military Council which has taken over the power of the Monarchy since the Griffon Civil War.
