The Daekanese People's Army (DPA) is the armed forces of the People's Socialist Republic of Daekan, established by the Communist Party of Daekan (CPD) on September 4 1950, during the Daekanese Revolution. The DPA consists of three main service branches: the Ground Forces, the Navy and the Air Force. The DPA is deployed in four military regions called "Theatre Commands", and is under the command of the National Defence Council (NDC) of the Communist Party of Daekan. The NDC is headed by its Chairmain, who is usually the Premier of the PSRD, with current Premier Gyeon Ji-Hae occupying that position. While the DPA nomimally follows the principle of the civillian control of the military (in this case by the Ministry of Defence), it firmly remains under the control of the Communist Party.

The DPA is a conscript-based force, with the vast majority of its troops being made up of conscripts serving 2-year terms. This has begun to slowly change since 2010, however, with professionalisation being part of the overall modernisation efforts of the DPA, particularly in the NCO corps. The DPA currently consists of 1.2 milion active and 400,000 reserve personnel, making it one of the largest armed forces in Alitheia. In times of national emergency of war, the DPA may be augmented by personnel from the People's Public Security Forces of the People's Police, to be used in reserve and support roles.
