Romaian Army
The ground force of Romaia dates back to the Romaian Kingdom. It fought against the Isfahani Empire in the nineteenth century, during the Great War and participated in the Unification of Romaia. On 1 March 2008 it became a professional all-volunteer force when conscription was finally ended.
The navy of Romaia was created in 1805, following the proclamation of the Kingdom of Romaia, as the Βασιλικό Ναυτικό. The new navy's baptism of fire came during the TBD. During the Great War, it spent its major efforts in the Pontus, fighting the TBD Navy. It is a blue-water navy. The Maritime Gendarmerie is a subordinate of the navy.

The number of aircraft in service with the Romaian Air Force varies depending on the source; the Ministry of Armed Forces gives a figure of 680 aircraft in 2014. According to 2019 data, this figure includes 350 combat aircraft, the most famous of which is Typhonas. As of 2019, the Romaian Air Force employs a total of 62,000 regular personnel.

The Airborne Corps (Greek: Σώμα Αερομεταφερόμενων, romanised: Sòma Aerometaferòmenon) are the airborne forces branch of the Romaian Armed Forces. It was formed TBD. Troops of the Romaian Airborne Corps traditionally wear maroon beret and keffiyah. The Romaian Airborne Forces utilizes a range of specialist airborne warfare vehicles . They traditionally have a larger complement of heavy weaponry than most contemporary airborne forces.
National Gendarmerie
The Chorofylaki is the gendarmerie and military police of Romaia. The corps was instituted in 1770 by TBD with the aim of providing the Duchy of Constantinoupoli with a police corps; it is therefore older than Romaia itself. The new force was divided into divisions on the scale of one division for each province of Romaia. In recent years Chorofylaki became the sixth branch of Romaian Armed Forces. Primarily they carry out law enforcement, military policing duties and peacekeeping mission abroad.
