History PlayingWith / InterserviceRivalry

** [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership The Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Troperia]], a soldier [[PersonOfMassDestruction so powerful]] he could kill [[Manga/BakiTheGrappler Yujiro Hanma]] with the tip of his tongue, makes clear his new standing orders regarding interservice rivalry: cut that shit out or he will personally and summarily execute everybody on both sides of any moment where it flares up, and if they need to kick some ass, that is what the damned enemy is for. [[ThreateningMediator That hits the spot]].

* '''Defied''': The Field Marshal and the Marshal of the Air Force have always been bitter rivals, but their immediate subordinates get along with each other much better. The subordinates frequently go against the orders of their superiors and focus on winning engagements rather than taking risks over a petty rivalry.

* '''Reconstructed''': The rivalry between the services leads each branch to come up with diverse tactics and equipment meant to one-up the other force, while at the same time it doesn't get so out of hand that the services undermine each other at the expense of the overall goal of defending Troperia against threats. When war comes, this gives Troperia an edge over Ruritania, whose monolithic military organization controls all three branches and stifles creativity and initiative.

** The Army and Navy played different but equally vital roles in national defense, but the service that gets the more glamorous roles gets all the attention from the media, the public, and the government, causing inflated egos in the "more important" branch and resentment in the branch that gets stuck with the "less important" jobs.

** The Army and Navy played different but equally vital roles in winning the last war, but the service that got the more glamorous roles got all the attention from the media, the public, and the government, causing inflated egos in the "more important" branch and resentment in the branch that got stuck with the "less important" jobs.

* '''Justified''': The Army and Navy have different cultures and missions, so naturally there's posturing going on about which service is "better". Not to mention that they compete for government funding once budget time rolls around.

** The Navy and Army commit [[ObligatoryWarCrimeScene vicious war crimes]], to [[FrameUp pin on each other]].

* '''Played For Drama''': The Army-Navy rivalry [[RightHandVersusLeftHand hampers cooperation]], and a lot of people who shouldn't have died do because Army and Navy weren't cooperating.

** The multiple power blocs of Troperia devolve into ChronicBackstabbingDisorder.

----

* '''Enforced''': The producers of ''TroperiaLand'' felt that the show gives an idealized image of the military so the writer was asked to spice it up adding more conflict.

* '''Invoked''': In order to gain politcal influence, the Air Marshall spreads malicious rumours hoping to antagonize the Army against the Navy. It works and he becomes the new unified commander when the other two leaders are sacked.

* '''Deconstructed''': The mutual distrust between the services leads to the loss of a crucial battle because the two services were following different plans and refusing to support each other. The war, which might have been ended in weeks, drags on for years.

* '''Played For Drama''': The Army-Navy rivalry hampers cooperation, and a lot of people who shouldn't have died do because Army and Navy weren't cooperating.

* '''Exaggerated''': The Army and Navy of Troperia regularly exchange fire.

* '''Double Subverted''': The concerned Troperian president raises the funds of the Army and Navy to mitigate the alleged problems... but now the Air Force is madly jealous and annuls any further collaboration with the the other branches.

** The web of rivalries is ''very'' confusing: the Army paratroopers have a good relationship with the Marines, but they both hate the regular Army infantry. Meanwhile, the Marines get along well with Army Aviation because neither of them can stand the ''Naval'' Air Service, who for some reason have a downright poisonous relationship with the ''Air Force'' Intelligence Service...

* '''Discussed''': "So, have you heard the Field Marshal and Admiral of the Air Force have been arguing again?" "Yeah. If they keep this up, the Army is gonna get hammered by Ruritanian close air support. We have to try and get them to agree to ''something''!"
