The Nadauran Self-Defense Forces (Lavish: Forças de Autodefesa Anadaúroleiras), also known simply as the Nadauran Armed Forces, are the armed forces of the United Nadauran States and their adjacent civil administration and authorities. Its service branches comprise the Nadauran Ground Self-Defense Force (Força de Autodefesa Terrestre), the Nadauran Naval Self-Defense Force (Força de Autodefesa Naval), and the Nadauran Air Self-Defense Force (Força de Autodefesa Aérea); the National Police functions as a gendarmerie, operating independently from the military as the law enforcement agency for the entire country.
Established after the end of Transmedan occupation in 1955, the Self-Defense Forces is effectively governed by the Ministry of Defense in peacetime, while the President acts as the de jure commander-in-chief; during a national state of war, the President assumes the legal and full control of the military.
