The Royal Caspiaan Armed Forces, abbreviated RCAF, are in charge of guaranteeing the sovereignty and independence of the Kingdom of Caspiaa, defending its territorial integrity and the constitutional order. They are composed of: the Army, the Air Force, the Navy, and the Home Guard. The CAF is one of the most powerful militaries in Euronia, and also occupies a prominent position in the structure of the Western Euronia Defense Alliance (WEDA). A largely neutral country until the World War (1949-54), Caspiaan forces have since participated in several conflicts, including the 1999-2005 Vulkaria War and the Terehan War. The Caspiaan Armed Forces often operates in Coalition of Crown Albatross peacekeeping missions.
The Caspiaan Armed Forces numbers about 125,000 personnel, including civilian employees. According to 2019 mobilization plans, full mobilization produces approximately 183,000 combatant personnel. Caspiaa has conscription (including 6–12 months of training); in 2013, the country became the first in Euronia and WEDA to draft women as well as men. However, due to less need for conscripts after the World War, few people have to serve if they are not motivated.
