The Kouralian Armed Forces, also known as the Coronial Armed Forces, are the professional military services protecting the integrity of the Crown Union and its citizenry, ensuring national security by promoting Kouralian interests abroad, and keeping the peace in the region of Mystria.

Over the history of the Crown Union and its preceding nationstates the Kouralian Armed Forces and its predecessor organisations have participated in a number of major wars including the 31st Annual Demon War, fighting against the Goldern Herd, and repelling the 3rd Century Scanderan Invasion. Historic successes, commonplace acts of valour, and well-documented dedication to professional standards and promotion of military sciences have given the Kouralian Armed Forces, particularly its army, an international reputation for excellence. Today the Kouralian Armed Forces consist of: the Grand Legion, the Union's principal land warfare service; the Grand Fleet, a blue-water navy of approaching 1,000 vessels including 40 aircraft carriers; and the Marischalcy Air Fleet, a technologically sophisticated air force with a diverse operational fleet consisting of both fixed-wing and rotary aircraft. The professional Armed Forces also include the part-time Volunteer Reserve Forces, and the Veteran Reserves who retain a statutory liability to be recalled for service in an emergency following the end of their contract or commission. The Armed Forces are also supplemented by the Regional Special Reserves, additional military reserves answering to the Governor of each of Kouralia's Regions which can nonetheless be mustered for Central Coronial Service if required.

The Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces is the Kouralian Crown, with the Crownbearer acting in the role of a physical Commander-in-chief, currently Sir Alyxandra Campbell. Constitutional division of responsibility by the Statutes-Principal, is that while the oath of allegiance is sworn to the Crown and the Crownbearer represents that legal authority in ceremonies and formal processes such as declarations of war, responsibility for civilian control of the military is vested in the Central Coronial Government - specifically the Justiciar for War. The Crown Captain of Justiciars acting with the Court of Justiciars makes key grand strategic decisions on use of the Armed Forces. The Armed Forces are managed on a day-to-day basis by the War Council presided over by the Justiciar for War.

Military Governance

As head of state, the Statutes-Principal Crownbearer Sir ALyxandra Campbell is the Commander-in-chief of the Kouralian Armed Forces, and all service-persons swear an oath of allegiance to them.
