The Armed Forces of the Lusoñan Republic (Ahlranese: latinized as: Sandatahang Lakas ng Republika ng Lusoña) are the military forces of the Lusoñan Republic. It consists of three main branches; the Army, the Air Force, and the Navy (which includes the Marine Corps). The Lakan of the Lusoñan Republic is the Commander-in-Chief of the AFLR and forms military policy with the Department of National Defense, an executive department acting as the principal organ by which military policy is carried out, while the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Lusoñan Republic serves as the overall commander and the highest-ranking officer in the AFLR.
Founded under the National Defence Act of 1945, it traces its roots and traditions to the Maharlika troops of the Panganiban Faction during the Lusoñan Civil War. The AFLR has played an integral part of the country's history. The AFLR has been involved in various conflicts, such as combatting and eventually defeating the rebellion in the Region of Magsaysay, and operations against Iyeta insurgents in the mountainous regions of Pantabangan. At present, military service is entirely voluntary.
