The Royal Gristo-Serkonan Armed Forces are the professional military services responsible for the defence of Gristol-Serkonos.
The military consists of six primary commands: the Gristo-Serkonan Army, the land warfare branch, the Royal Gristo-Serkonan Air Force, a technologically sophisticated air force with a diverse operational fleet consisting of both fixed-wing and rotary aircraft, the Royal Gristo-Serkonan Navy, a green-water fleet consisting of 65 commissioned ships with the Royal Gristo-Serkonan Marines providing the amphibious warfare capability, the Strategic Arms Operations Group, handles the country's unconventional arsenal, and the Health Services Command, which is responsible for the military health system functions.
Its Commander-in-Chief are the monarchs of Gristol-Serkonos, currently Queen Anna III and Grand Duke Tehwehron, to whom the members of the armed forces swear allegiance. Long-standing constitutional convention however has vested executive authority, by prerogative, in the Chancellor and the Minister of Defence. The constitution also allows for the monarchs to remains the supreme authority of the military and can override the authority of the Chancellor and the Minister of Defence.
The armed forces are managed by the National Defence Council of the Office of National Defence, headed by the Minister of Defence.
