The Royal Joseon Armed Forces is a military organization under the command of the prime minister, the minister of defense, and the military commanders. Its duties include defending its national territory, counterterror operations, and carrying out military operations to improve Joseon's national interests.

The Great Kingdom of Joseon provides conscription services for healthy adult men over the age of 18. Women can join the military by applying as noncommissioned officers or officers. As of 2024, Joseon's active force was 1,895,000, while the reserve force was 7,642,300.

After completing their military service, Joseon's men and women who have completed active service will join the reserve army for five years after their discharge. The reserve soldiers will undergo military training three days a year during their daily lives. In case of emergency, the reserve soldiers will be mobilized by the prime minister's mobilization order to serve as military troops.

Joseon is a country that possesses strategic and tactical nuclear weapons. Since the successful joint nuclear development with France in the 1960s, Joseon has maintained many nuclear assets. Joseon's ability to operate nuclear weapons is maintained by Air Force strategic bombers and the army's ballistic missiles, centering on the navy's SSBN submarines.

The Royal Joseon Army Forces are composed of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. The Army is tasked with defending Joseon's territories, people, and interests from threats on the ground. The majority of divisions in the Army are composed of armored divisions or mechanized infantry divisions. The Navy is made up of 2 coastal defense flotillas, 8 aircraft carrier fleets, and 3 amphibious assault fleets. Each coastal defense flotilla is made up of 15 coastal defense ships, and each aircraft carrier fleet is made up of two or three carrier strike groups. In addition, the Navy is a unit that operates strategic nuclear weapons and has the character of a strategic force. The Air Force consists of 55 fighter wings and various units that support them. Like the Navy, the Air Force is also operating strategic nuclear weapons. The Space Command, also under the Air Force, is in charge of space powers, including military satellites and unmanned space shuttles.
