The PDF was formed on the eve of Vinalian Reunification in accordance to the [[Treaty of Bin]], which reunified both states and their respective armed forces. At the time of reunification the PDF held over 500,000 men in it's ranks, 250,000 men from North and South, making it one of the largest armies at the time. Although the [[10 Day War]] had ended 5 years earlier in 1987, by 1993 both sides still held considerable military stockpiles, with the North holding close to 4,000 Tanks, and over 15,000 Mechanized vehicles most of them severely outdated and in need of maintenance. The PDF began the process of demilitarization in both sides selling thousands of vehicles to foreign buyers, and reducing it's total number of 500,000 total men with close to a Million men more in reserves to just 100,000 total men active and reserves included, which was later expanded to 135,000 in 1995 where it has remained until today. This process was finished by 1998, when the PDF reached it's desired strength of 135,000 men. This was further reduced in 2002 as the army reached a size of 75,000 personnel, and 50,000 reservists.

The People's Navy is the smallest of the 4 branches, but it has seen the greatest attention by the government, which has invested in the development of a strong modern navy. The PN inherited old and inefficient navies, with it's strongest assets being 2 Chistovodian bought frigates dating to 1975. The People's Navy consists of 22 vessels including 3 Missile Boats, 4 Attack-Submarines, 7 Frigates, and 8 Patrol Craft (1 Auxiliary). Under the command of the navy is the People's Maritime Defence Force, a 1,000 men strong Marines brigade. It also operates 5 air craft for maritime surveillance.
The Vinalian Navy is organized in 4 naval zones headquartered in Orlavo, Chervona, New Samistopol, and Catherinsk. It has a strength of around 9,000 troops, making it the smallest of all branches. It has been historically sidelined for the ground forces and air force, until the recent acquisition of frigates from {{wp|Rizealand}}.


In 2003 Vinalia acquired 7 {{wp|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Hazard_Perry-class_frigate|Gearing Class}} frigates, which were do to be retired, as part of a military agreement between [[Halland]] and Vinalia.
The flagship of the fleet is the Red Sun {{wp|Kralj-class_missile_boat|Vurna Class}} {{wp|Missile Boat}}. It operates 6 {{wp|frigate}}s, 14 {{wp|patrol boat}}s, and 4 {{wp|Diesel Attack submarine}}s. As well as tankers and cargo ships. The Vinalian Navy also has a naval aviation force, a naval infantry battalion and special forces units.

{{Main|Air force of Vinalia}}
The People's Air Force is the air component of the People's Defence Force. The PAF was unlike the 3 other branches, the one to retain most of it's inherited equipment, with the Northern People's Liberation Air Force holding a fleet of 100 mostly modern aircraft while the Southern Vinalian Defence Air Force numbered some 70 planes in good conditions. Today the PAF has grown to a XX size air force, with most of it's planes being licensed and locally built by Tuvular United.

The Vinalian Air Force (VAF) is the air component of the Armed Forces. The VAF operates aircraft inherited from both north and south Vinalian. The VAF was at its start among the largest air forces in the world, as a result of large stockpiles of outdated aircraft kept in service by both countries. Most equipment was scrapped or sold off, while a professional core of equipment was retained.
 
The VAF is divided into six wing areas, headquartered in Orlavo, Jangorod, [[Vinalinsk]], and Velkarichka. With a strength of 11,000 troops, the VAF counts in its arsenal with {{wp|Sukhoi_Su-30 |G-7}} and {{wp|Mikoyan_MiG-29 |FCO-88}} as {{wp|multirole aircraft}}. The {{wp|Mikoyan_MiG-27|FCO-85}} as {{wp|strike aircraft}}. {{wp|Mil Mi-24|TYI-45}} {{wp|Attack helicopter}}s, and {{wp|Mil Mi-17|TYI-40}} {{wp|Transport Helicopter}}s.
