Military Expenditure Reduction Initiative

The Military Expenditure Reduction Initiative (Russian: Инициатива по сокращению военных расходов, Dutch: Initiatief tot vermindering van de militaire uitgaven) was a Command Order released from the Office of the First President. The action was in an effort to reduce the size of the Arstotzkan Union Defense Forces, which had grown signifcantly and many regiments were not needing to be operating.

With the build-up of resistance and opposition to the Arstotzkan Union in Judea in late 2020, the actions of the Initiative were overulled and all regiments of all branches were activated. Since then Arstotzkan High Command has terminated the authority of the MERI.

In 2021, Commander Liam Huxley, orignally the Embassy Commander of the Consulate General of the Arstotzkan Union in Auckland, launched a proposal to the First President and Kommondant of the AUDF, on the reforming of the AUDF. This idea was approved and as of October 27th 2021, the final drafts are being complete for what is being called the Executive Presidential Order on the Reforming of the Command of the Arstotzkan Union National Defense Forces (October 2021).
