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 Puisamarkiisen, states have their own militaries, called Territorial Defense Force officially. They are different from the reserves of the defense force and don't follow the same command structure.

The commander-in-chief of the defense force is the President of Bakyern which is currently Rikart Kalmer. The Bak Defense Force is overseen by the Department of Defense, with the current head of the defense force below the Secretary being the Chief of Staff.
