Chernarussian Defence Forces
The Chernarussian Defence Forces (CDF) are the combined military forces of the Republic of Chernarus. In 2009, the CDF was involved a civil war against various warring factions, such as the ChKDZ, a communist revolutionary organization, and rebels from NAPA, a political party within Chernarus. During the 2009 Chernarussian Civil War, various warring factions wanted to overthrow the young and fragile Chernarussian democracy. Before the United States of America supported the CDF with its military forces, the CDF had a long list of battles with the insurgents.
Overview
The average Chernarussian soldier wears uniforms and utilizes equipment from that of the former Soviet Army. Like the Soviets before them, they wear an individual camouflage smock. Most of the CDF's weapons were acquired from former Soviet military stockpiles, back when Chernarus was a republic of the Soviet Union. The Chernarussian government had tried to update the CDF with newer equipment several times in the past.
