The Mehravan National Army is the military forces of the State of Mehrava. They consist of the Mehravan Ground Forces, Mehravan Air Force and the Mehravan Navy. The President of Mehrava is the Commander-in-Chief of the Mehravan National Army, which is administratively controlled through the Ministry of Defense. The National Military Command Center in Azhtanan serves as the headquarters of the Mehravan National Army.

The current Mehravan military originates in 1902 when the Zârzakhid dynasty was established in Môztar followed by the Arzhanid dynasty. The Mehravan military fought many wars with foreign kingdoms from the 18th to the 19th century. It was re-organized with help from the Shadoveilian in 1912, when the country was ruled by Shah Zêrman Rôh Zârzakhi . It was modernized during Shah Zêrman's rule in the early 20th century, and upgraded during Shah Arâd's forty-year rule. After Shah Guzgân Arzhanid's resignation in 1985 and the end of monarchy, the military took control over the government. This era was followed by the rise of the Admejhad regime, who established a new government on the basis of military rule.
