The Rajyani Armed Forces, officially called His Majesty's Armed Forces, are the military forces responsible for the defence of the Kingdom of Rajyaghar and exercise of the defence policy of the Central Union Government, including the promotion of Rajyani interests, supporting bilateral and multilateral operations and providing humanitarian aid.

The forces consist of three professional uniformed services: the Royal Army, the Royal Navy, and Royal Air Force. There are also numerous special services of the military which have unique and distinct mission objectives. Within the Royal Navy, there is "The Aegis" which is a dedicated fleet tasked with defending territorial waters and projecting maritime strength in the Acheloian Sea. The Royal Navy also operates the "Sarisra Squadron" which is a dedicated group of river ships tasked with patrolling the major rivers of Rajyaghar to prevent against smuggling and other illegal activities. The Royal Army maintains the "Marine Commando Group" (MCG), an elite corps within the army which is often tasked with conducting the most difficult of operations. The Royal Air Force operates the "Specialist Paratrooper Service" (SPS) which often works alongside the MCG in difficult operations. The air force also operates the "Rajyani Attack Wing" (RAW).

The Monarch of Rajyaghar is the Supreme Commander in Chief of the armed forces, however, executive management of the armed forces is conducted on the Monarch's behalf by the Secretary of State for Defence, who leads the Ministry of Defence, with advice from the Premier and National Security Council. With a strength of over 450 thousand active personnel and a reserve force over 1.3 million, the Rajyani armed forces is one of the largest in Satria. The military budget is currently 3.2% of GDP, up from 2.5% in 2010.

Organisation

Operational Commands

The operational commands are the major subdivisions of the organisation of the armed forces. Notably, only the operational commands of the army adhere to the borders of Union States. The commands of the air force are determined on a mix of geographical and state borders and naval commands are determined via maritime geography.

Operational Commands of the Army

Army Commands

• Central Command - navy
• Western Command - green
• Northern Command - light blue
• Pavitra Command - purple
• Southern Command - red
• Eastern Command - orange

The Southern Army Command is the largest operational command in the Army due to the insurgent groups within the southern states and the continued threat of an Ajahadyan invasion. For these reasons the Southern Army Command sees routine deployments to assist law enforcement and to present a physical presence of the military to deter insurgencies and invasion. The Pavitra Army Command is the mountainous command of the Royal Army and is specialised in mountain warfare.

Operational Commands of the Air Force

Air Commands

• Central Air Command - navy
• Western Air Command - green
• Northern Air Command - light blue
• Eastern Air Command - orange
• South Eastern Air Command - red
• Southern Air Command - purple

Unlike the Army Commands, the borders of the Air Commands are drawn based on a combination of administrative borders and geographical regions. The Pavitra Mountain Range acts as the main dividing line between the north-western air commands and the south-eastern air commands. The South Eastern Air Command, nicknamed the Aegis (transl. the shield), is the largest of the air commands and forms the first line of defence against an Ajahadyan invasion.

Operational Commands of the Navy

Naval Commands

• Northern Naval Command - green
• Straits Naval Command - red
• Outer Rim Naval Command - navy

The Straits and Northern Naval Commands see constant deployments, monitoring and protecting shipping routes and protecting the integrity of Rajyani territorial waters. The Outer Rim Naval Command only deploys for anti-piracy missions and bilateral and multilateral naval operations with allied navies. The north-eastern waters of the Aechelion Sea that fall under the remit of the Outer Rim Naval Command are not routinely patrolled due to the routine deployment of Euclean naval powers in the region which protect the area from piracy and hostile actors.

Note: Naval Commands are drawn to land borders but by protocol deployments do not extend into the territorial waters of other nations.
