The Spanish Army
The Spanish Army, while still reasonably well-equipped, is a relative shadow of the 'Great Old Tercios' that marched across Europe. While effective in their heyday, the old Tercio system is beginning to show its age and the proportion of musket to pike increasingly leans on the weight of fire rather than the number of pikes one can bring to bear. In addition, almost none of the old tercios are at their full paper strength. What's more, most of the army isn't Spanish. Instead, many of the men are Irish, French, Italian, German, or the other riff-raff of Europe - essentially mercenaries in service to the new, young King of Spain. Still, reform is on the horizon. Maximilian Emanuel, Prince-Elector of Bavaria, is serving as regent until his son comes of age. Serving alongside him, as head of the Spanish government, is Manuel Joaquín Álvarez de Toledo y Portugal, Count de Oropesa. Maximilian is a fan of the French system and it is one that the small Bavarian Army already relies on; as such, he has set about initiating a series of reforms to bring the army back into a fighting trim.

The typical infantry uniform is a coat in Bavarian blue, with different colored turnbacks and cuffs depending on regiment. Officers wear blue and white striped sashes.

Heavy cavalry wear grey coats, while the light cavalry and dragoons tend to wear red or blue.

Backing up the regular metropolitan army is a a militia system, which mainly provides for the defense of the coasts against the Barbary pirates and to provide home defense in the case of war. They are not especially well trained or drilled, but they are often better than nothing.

In New Spain and the colonies, the only regular troops (whether from the colonies or the metropole) are garrison or fortress troops and their duties are mainly occupying forts to protect ports and important centers of trade throughout the farflung empire. Most of the home defense in New Spain and Peru is provided by the local colonial militia. The quality varies; some of them are decent, but most of the colonials tend to think of militia service as onerous. The exception tends to be the lancers and caballeros who make up the mounted militia on the northern outskirts of New Spain, who are all too familiar with the raids of the Navajo, Apache, Comanche, and others.


The Spanish Navy
The Hapsburgs did not put much faith in their own navy and instead relied on the navies of their allies and the heavy, large merchantmen that made the galleon runs from the metropolitan to the colonies and back again. As such, the Navy is badly in need of reform and organization. However, this is unlikely to come from Maximilian. He is much more concerned with his political ambitions on the continent...
