At the end of the Great Voshod-Aquilan War, the once disparate militaries of Hawke were barely recognisable compared to what they had been before the war. To drive off the Voshkods and their allies, the Alliance of Hawke had banded their militaries together into a unified fighting force; a shared doctrine, shared equipment, shared uniforms, a single chain of command. But while this would serve the Alliance well during the war, many people were left rankled by this.

Sure, it was necessary during the war. The war was now over; Garlean was no longer alive, the Voshkods had made peace. Many of the sweeping wartime mandates that had demanded military standardisation were repealed by the post-war Alliance parliament; the unified Alliance Forces that had stopped Garlean's divisions from overrunning Hawke was dissolved back into the individual national armies, free to go their separate ways.

Indeed, though the blue uniform and Alliance insignia is still retained across all Alliance member states, there are quite a few differences between the various national militaries now. The M60 Patton and Centurions, once the main battle tanks of all Alliance forces, has since been partially or wholly phased out in quite a number of Allied member states, replaced by various national designs like the Leopard 1, Chieftain and the Panzer 68. It is notable how different these designs are from each other.

For example, the M90 Grizzly is a highly offensive design, geared towards speed and manoeuvrability. In contrast, the Fereldan Liberty could almost be considered its opposite; it is considerably slower and less mobile compared to its counterparts in other countries (which is said to be one of the reasons why the most Alliance members rejected it), but on the other hand it can survive hits that would destroy other tanks, thanks to the thick slabs of composite and steel that protect it. The Liberty is also equipped to defend itself from a wide variety of threats; alongside the 105mm armour-piercing main gun, there is also a 20mm autocannon for dealing with lighter vehicles, and a pintle mounted machine gun for fending off infantry.

Though a few argue that that these differences in doctrine and equipment was one of the reasons why the Alliance prefer the Grizzly, nevertheless it would appear that disparate designs such as the Crusader are here to stay, at least by Fereldan-European Alliance.
