Hm.
Okay, some thoughts I'd been having on the subject:
* Postwar there's a general agreement at - I think Alphacon's the next one in sequence- to do a general draw down of military forces. Most of the heavy stuff gets mothballed or demilled; for example, the VVS Tu-22Ms get (most of) their weapons pulled and switch from Rapid Offensive Units to Very Fast Pickets. The idea here is that war's over, so we don't need a huge tactical/strategic load sitting on the system's economy dragging everybody down, right?
* OGJ goes from whatever the hell ad hoc thing it was during the war into a unified command like you're thinking of NATTO. Interplanetary Defense Force 'Great Justice' has Haruhi up at the top as Churchillian figurehead with a small army of bickering committees keeping shit operational at the line level. As part of the whole make-and-keep-the-peace thing every faction that's signed to the Convention has to keep a certain percentage (no less than 5% but no more than 25%, just as an off the cuff estimate) of their standing military (if they have one) as part of the Great Justice command structure. This could be a fleet of warships or twenty REMFs depending on the faction.
This is all coming from a dude who doesn't think militaries are all that, so salt as necessary.
