The Armed Forces of Insulamia (AFI; French: Forces Armées d'Insulamie) is the triservice military organisation of Insulamia, responsible for the defense of the nation. They also promote Insulamia's national interests, deliver humanitarian aid, and assist domestic emergency services in disasters. It consists of three branches: the Army, the Navy, and the Avy. As of 2020, it has 9,171 active personnelle and 14,265 reserve personnelle, with an annual budget of IN£2.8 billion.
The Department of War, which itself is a department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, oversees the management of the AFI. Constitutionally, the commanders-in-chief of the AFI are the Queen and the President of Insulamia, who are also the heads of state. The operations of the AFI are managed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in collaboration with the Head of War and the Council of War.
The AFI was formed in 1893 as a union of the Aubertois Armed Forces, the Armed Forces of Henria, and the Armed Forces of Septentria. Prior to this, there were three provincial militaries operating in the country, each mostly managed by a provincial government. The Avy was founded in 1925 and incorporated into the AFI. Insulamia participated in the Battle of France in the Second World War, and later the landings at Normandy and the liberation of France. In 1983, Insulamia began a process of rapid demilitarisation, cutting the military budget in half. Since then, the country has continued to steadily demilitarise, and, as of 2020, the AFI is one-quarter of the size that it was in 1980.
Currently, the AFI is a very small military, relative to other national militaries. It is decently equipped and technologically sophisticated. Almost all military equipment used by the AFI is manufactured by the Federal government, specifically the Military-Industrial Department under the Ministry of Industry. The Department of Military Research under the Ministry of Science & Technology researches military technology for the Military-Industrial Department to manufacture.
