The armed forces of Escharia are under the control of the National Defense Department, which is led by the Federal Minister of National Defense.

History
The Escharian Armed Forces were established in 1720 as the Army of the Istastioner Federation, a country that was established as the successor to the Istastioner Empire, which itself had risen to power over the centuries as the result of centuries of warfare, conquest, and expansion on the Istastioner continent. The Army of the Istastioner Federation saw action in various conflicts throughout the second half of the 20th century, including the Istastioner civil war and the Great Istastioner War.
In August 1902, the Army of the Istastioner Federation was reformed into the Escharian Armed Forces. Under the leadership of the Ministry of National Defense, the Armed Forces have continued to serve as a force for stability in the region, protecting the people and interests of Escharia and its allies. Since 1989, the Escharian Armed Forces have been involved in various conflict and peacekeeping operations around the world, including Battle of Urnu-Arrak, the 1968 Escharian Civil War, 1973 First Coalition War and 1980 Final Turtlonian War
