The Public Force (Montecaran: Fòrça Pùblica) is the unified military of Montecara. It consists of land, sea, and air components. The Public Force is responsible for defending Montecara's land, sea, and citizens. It conducts operations to safeguard Montecaran sovereignty and the safety of its territory and resources, as well as supporting allied forces, conducting search and rescue operations, and undertaking maritime law enforcement.
As required by the Constitution of Montecara, it is organized as a conscript force built upon a foundation of professional, career non-commissioned and commissioned officers. Under the country's system of citizen service, the bulk of personnel are conscripts serving 12- or 18-month terms, usually from age 18. Both males and females are called up for initial screening, with about two-thirds of males and one-third of females selected for service.
