The Bak Defense Force (Bakyernian: Laakyar Tuiivamäst) are the armed forces of Bakyern, with a duty of protecting Bakyern's territories and carrying out its wider interests. They encompass of the army, air force, and navy, with the coast guard and border patrol being incorporated during time of wartime. The defense force also carries out efforts in foreign territories such as peacekeeping and providing humanitarian aid. While national defense is put on the hands of the Tuiivamast, cantons have their own militaries, called Territorial Defense Force officially and called the Cantonal Guard unofficially. They are different from the reserves of the defense force and don't follow the same command structure.
