The Royal Acrean Armed Forces encompass the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and to an extent the national gendarmerie of the Kingdom of Acrea which collectively are responsible for the defence of the Acrean state and its overseas territories and dependencies. The Acrean Armed Forces serve to promote Acrea's wider interests, support international defence efforts, and support humanitarian operations. They are headed officially by the King or Queen acting as commander-in-chief, but the constitution has delegated de facto authority over the military to the Chancellor. Acrea has the largest defence budget in Tyran by total amount, though not by percentage of its GDP. It is one of the oldest military forces in Tyran.

The military has played a central role in Acrean affairs since antiquity. The modern Acrean state's first standing army was founded in 1432, which is also considered to be the founding date of the Armed Forces. It has seen numerous conflicts involving the region's great powers since its founding, including numerous wars with Acrea's neighbouring Eracuran states over the course of nearly six centuries.
