The Armed Forces of the Federal Socialist Republic of Idacua (Sylvan: Fuerzas Armadas de la República Socialista Federal de Idacua), commonly known as the Idacuan Armed Forces (Sylvan: Fuerzas Armadas Idacuanas) are the military forces of Idacua. The Armed Forces were first established as an organisation in 1882, after the Idacuan War of Independence, but exist in their current form since the 1986 Socialist Revolution. The Armed Forces consist of six separate branches: the Idacuan Revolutionary Army, the Idacuan Revolutionary Navy, the Idacuan Revolutionary Air Force, the Idacuan Marine Corps, the Idacuan National Guard, and the Special Forces Command. All branches except for specific units of the Army, the Marine Corps and the Special Forces Command, are mainly composed of conscripts serving a 2-year service. However, since 2012, the Idacuan government has made an effort to professionalise the Armed Forces, and currently 30% of the troops are contract soldiers. The civillian authority of the Armed Forces is the Ministry of Defence, headed by Minister Diego Cadaval, while the Commander-in-Chielf is President Carlos Medellin.
