| Ranks | Military ranks of Gran Rugido |
The Gran Rugidoense Federal Armed Forces (Spanish: Fuerzas Armadas Federales de Gran Rugido) are the military forces of the Federal Republic of Gran Rugido. They are composed of two independent entities: the Federal Army and the Federal Navy. The Federal Army includes the Federal Air Force, while the Federal Navy includes the Naval Infantry Force (Marine Corps) and the Naval Aviation (FAN).
The Army and Navy are controlled by two separate government departments, the Ministry of National Defense and the Naval Ministry, and maintain two independent chains of command, with no joint command except the President of Gran Rugido.
Organization
The Army
Main article: Gran Rugidoense Federal Army
There are five main components of the Army: a national headquarters, territorial commands, and independent units. The Ministry of National Offense commands the Army by means of a very centralized system and a large number of general officers. The Army uses a modified continental staff system in its headquarters. The Army is the largest branch of Gran Rugido's armed services.
Presently, there are 12 "Military Regions", which are further broken down into 24 subordinate "Military Zones." In both cases, a numbering system is used for designation. There is no set number of zones within a region, and these can therefore be tailored to meet operational needs, with a corresponding increase or decrease in troop strength.
The Air Force
Main article: Gran Rugidoense Federal Air Force
The Air Force national headquarters is embedded within the Army headquarters in San Jorge Xayacatlán. It also follows the continental staff system, with the usual A1, A2, A3, and A4 sections. The tactical forces form what is loosely called an Air Division, but it is dispersed in four regions: Northeast, Northwest, Central, and South. The Air Force maintains a total of 18 air bases, and has the additional capability of opening temporary forward operating bases in austere conditions for some helicopters and light aircraft.

Unlike the other branches, the Navy's national headquarters is located in Santa Elisa and is smaller than the Army's headquarters. The "Junta (or Council) of Admirals" plays a unique consultative and advisory role within the headquarters, an indication of the institutional importance placed on seniority and "year groups" that go back to the admirals’ days as cadets in the naval college. They are a very tightly knit group, and great importance is placed on consultation among the factions within these year groups. The Navy's operational forces are organized as three independent groups: the Kaldaz Force, the Girón Task Force and the Sunadic Force. Each group has its own headquarters, a destroyer group, an auxiliary vessel group, a Marine Infantry Group, and a Special Forces group. The Kaldaz and Sunadic Forces are not mirror images of each other, as independence of organization is permitted. The Navy also has an air arm with troop transport, reconnaissance, and surveillance aircraft.
The Navy maintains significant infrastructure, including naval dockyards that have the capability of building ships, such as the Constitución class offshore patrol vessel. These dockyards have a significant employment and economic impact in the country.
The Marines
Main article: Gran Rugidoense Naval Infantry
The Naval Infantry are the marine corps and amphibious infantry force of the Federal Navy. The main task of the Infantería de Marina is to guarantee the maritime security of the country's ports and external and internal defense of the country, to accomplish these responsibilities the corps is trained and equipped to take on any type of operations from Sea, Air and Land.
The Naval Infantry Corps was reorganized in 2007–09 into 20 Naval Infantry Battalions, a paratroop battalion, a battalion attached to the Presidential Guard Brigade, two Fast Reaction Forces with six battalions each, and three Special Forces groups. The Naval Infantry are responsible for port security, protection of national ships until reaching international waters and patrolling major waterways.
The Coast Guard
Main article: [[National Maritime Search and Rescue}]
The National Maritime Search and Rescue is the Federal Navy's SAR Unit, which is responsible for improving the quality and effectiveness of the Navy's response to Gran Rugido's maritime emergencies. The Federal Navy historically has been responsible for the search and rescue operations using its available resources. However, aware of the importance of safeguarding human life at sea and the growing demand of sea rescue, the High Command of the Navy created the Maritime Search and Rescue unit.
Independent Forces
Several other military organizations exist that are independent of the Army and Navy command structures.
Chief among the independent troops is an Army Corps consisting of two mechanized infantry brigades located in Mexico City plus a motorized brigade, with a full complement of combat and support troops. In addition, there are Special Forces units (1 division and more than 100 independent regional battalions) and a parachute brigade.
All these independent troops are located in San Jorge where they act as a ready reserve and as centers of excellence.
In times of need, a special "Rural Defense Corps" (or "Rurales") plays a role similar to a traditional volunteer militia (organized on an as-needed basis) in the rural communities. Alongside the "Rurales", people have formed the Community Self-Defense Groups (populary known as "Autodefensas") Today, both the Rural Defense and the "Autodefensas" teams usually work with both local law enforcement and the National Guard towards the goal of hindering organized crime and the threat of the drug cartels and guerrillas.
Established after the conclusion of the nation's civil war, the National Guard of Gran Rugido were established as a separate service of the armed forces under the direct control and responsibility of the Ministry of National Defense and Public Security in order to contribute to overall national defense and help protect public order and safety. The relevant amendments to the Constitution were approved in March 1971 by both the Congress of the Union and the Senate chambers.
