- "We fight for a cause, but what we're really fighting for is each other. That's why our pilots fly into fire instead of abandoning a wingman and our commandos stand their ground rather than leave a flank unguarded. It's because they care for each other. We fight for duty, yes. But we also fight because we love each other. And that's something even more powerful."
- ―Leia Organa
The Alliance Military, also referred to as Alliance Armed Forces, the Rebel military, or the Rebel Alliance Military, comprised the paramilitary forces of the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War. It consisted of the Alliance Army, the Alliance Fleet, and the fleet's Rebel Alliance Starfighter Corps.[7] Chancellor Mon Mothma was the Commander-in-Chief of the military.[1] High ranking positions included the Supreme Commander of the Alliance Armed Forces[3] and supreme commander of the Alliance fleet.[4]
The Alliance military was rather large; by the time of the Mid Rim Offensive, it included hundreds of battle groups.[25] During the final days of the Galactic Civil War, the Rebel Alliance defeated the Galactic Empire at the Battle of Endor, which led to the Alliance reorganizing into the New Republic . The Alliance Military was therefore transformed into the New Republic Defense Force.[23]
Behind the scenes[]
The Alliance Military first appeared in the 1977 film, Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.[7]

- ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates the formation of the Alliance to Restore the Republic to 2 BBY. Therefore, the Alliance Military was also formed alongside the Rebel Alliance in 2 BBY.
- ↑ Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary dates the formation of the New Republic as taking place thirty years before the Starkiller Incident, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 34 ABY. Therefore, It can be deduced that the New Republic Defense Force was formed in 4 ABY as well.
