The Elect Army is the main military arm of the Kingdom of Kembesa, comprising the bulk of its professional forces in its land, maritime, and air components. Universal male conscription has been in effect since 1982 with few compromises even for Kembesans with disabilities. Conscript terms of service last between 12 and 18 months depending on the jurisdiction or any penalty that may have been applied to a youth entering into the service. Penal service is also not unheard of. Women are completely barred from service in the Kembesan military and paramilitary forces.

The Air Fleet Component is divided into two wings. The first wing is composed of six light attack squadrons. The second wing includes two bomber squadrons and two lift squadrons.

The Maritime Fleet Component is divided into four groups. The first three groups are based in Kima, Arwas, and Ne'welo and are each led by a frigate, supported by a corvette, leading five strike craft. The fourth group is composed of 16 patrol boats which are deployed from smaller bases along the Kembesan coast.
