The Royal Delkoran Armed Forces are the armed forces of the Kingdom of Delkora, responsible for defending the Kingdom and its territory. It is comprised of four service branches: the Royal Army, Navy, Air Force, and Home Guard. Members of each branch swear an oath of loyalty to the Constitution of Delkora.

Royal Army

The Delkoran Army has a total of 325,045 active personnel and 480,000 reserve personnel.

Royal Navy

The Delkoran Navy has a total of 50,360 active personnel and 105,350 reserve personnel. It fields a total of 287 combat vessels, including 3 Illyar-class aircraft carriers, 24 cruisers, 36 destroyers, 21 frigates, 24 corvettes, 23 submarines, and 156 coastal patrol craft. In addition to its surface fleet, the Delkoran Navy also operates a total of 78 naval aircraft.

Royal Air Force

The Delkoran Air Force has a total of 25,745 active personnel and 50,800 reserve personnel.

Home Guard

In addition to the three primary branches of its armed forces and their associated reserve components, Delkora maintains a separate reserve force known as the Home Guard that is administered by each of its five states. The total manpower of the Home Guard is around 200,000. These forces exist primarily to protect civilians and strategic infrastructure in the event of an invasion, as well as engage in guerrilla warfare and sabotage against enemy forces. In peacetime they are often used to supplement civil authorities in responding to natural disasters. Although normally under the command of their respective state governments, Home Guard units can be called into the service of the federal government in national emergencies.

Special Forces

Each of the Kingdom's three primary service branches has an associated special forces element specializing in, among other things, counter-terrorism operations, hostage rescue, covert warfare, reconnaissance, and unconventional warfare. These include the Army's Special Assault Force (SAF), the Air Force's Royal Air Guard (RAG), and the Navy's Amphibious Commando Element (AKE).
