The Arthasthan Armed Forces, also known as the Revolutionary Army, are the combined military forces of the United Socialist Republic of Arthasthan. It is one of the largest armed forces in Satria, consisting of three branches, the Army, the Air Force, and the Navy, which are supported by various government approved paramilitary forces. The civilian government ostensibly has ultimate control over the Armed Forces, but in reality the Arthani dominated Satrian Section wields a significant degree of influence over the military.

It was originally founded as the National Liberation Army, the armed wing of the Satrian Section during the Solarian War before it was reorganized into its present form in 1957. The Army has participated in almost every major war in Satria since the Solarian War. The Army's main role is to protect the country from invasion, foreign interference, and domestic "deviant movements". It is the main defense against domestic revolt, especially the pan-Satrian insurgency supported by Ajahadya. It is supported by many government-controlled, Section-controlled, and independent paramilitary forces. As a result of its role, its has aggressively expanded its economic and political influence to encapsulate almost all aspects of Arthani society.
