Standing forces founded from 1945 onward: the post-1945 national armed forces of the post-colonial and post-Cold War world, and the reorganized or refounded forces of states remade after the Second World War. Belongs here: a national or federal armed force founded in 1945 or later. Does not belong here: a force founded before 1945, which belongs to Modern instead. This bucket carries no live members yet; it is laid out ahead of the content, the same way armed-force|early-modern already sits ready for the next Early Modern force a mint lane places, ruling 792.
