The Ossorian Armed Forces (Ossorian Gaelic: Fórsaí Armtha na hOsraí), are the military forces responsible for the defense of the High Kingdom of Ossoria, its overseas territories and dependencies. They also promote the Realm's wider interests, support international peacekeeping efforts and provide humanitarian aid to disaster areas.
Today, the Armed Forces are comprised of the Royal Ossorian Navy, a blue-water navy consisting of over 300 commissioned warships and the Royal Marine Corps, a highly trained amphibious infantry force; the Royal Ossorian Army, which serves as the primary land service branch; the Royal Ossorian Air Force, an advanced air force operating a wide array of aircraft; and the Royal Ossorian Defense Force, which protects the Realm from strategic threats. The Ossorian Royal Guard, originally organized as under the Royal Army, is primarily responsible for the security of the capital city of Kenlis, the safety of the Monarch and the Royal Family, as well as visiting dignitaries. The Ossorian Home Guard, a collective term for the self-defense forces organized by the Constituent Kingdoms and Dominions of Ossoria, are not considered to be part of the Armed Forces, though there are provisions for bringing these units under Federal control during times of war.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces is the Monarch of Ossoria, currently High Queen Tara Ní Sionán, to whom all service members swear allegiance. The Armed Forces are individually managed by their respective administrative apparatuses: the Admiralty for the Navy; the Army Ministry for the Army and Royal Guard; the Air Ministry for the Air Force and Defense Force; and collectively by the Chiefs of Staff Committee of the Privy Council, chaired by the Chairman of the Committee.
Ossoria is one of the recognized Tyrannic Great Powers, being one of the recognized nuclear powers, the host nation of the Organization of Tyrannic Nations and one of the five permanent members of the OTN Security Council, and is a founding and leading member of the Gabhrán Accords military and economic alliance. The Realm maintains overseas bases and training facilities in Acrea, Allamunnika, Delkora, Gylias, Mansuriyyah, Nordkrusen, and West Aotearoa.
