The Namorese Liberation Army (Намора Джикфанкун tr. Namora Jikfankun), commonly known by its abbreviation NLA, is the armed forces of the People's Republic of Namor. It consists of five branches — the Namorese Liberation Army Ground Force (NLAGF), Namorese Liberation Air Force (NLAF), Namorese Liberation Navy (NLN), Namorese Liberation Army Border Force (NLABF), and the Namorese Coast Guard (NCG). With over 2.5 million active personnel and 5.5 million reserves, the NLA is one of the largest militaries in Esquarium.

Founded in 1900 as the armed forces of the Liberationist Party of Namor, the NLA fought a decade-long insurgency against the Hao dynasty. Following the Double Fourth Revolution of 1910, the NLA underwent a series of reassignments; it was first incorporated into the Imperial Namorese Armed Forces, then reassigned to the Namorese Armed Forces during the Unification War, before breaking from the NAF to become an independent military during the Namorese Civil War. However, the NLA remained under the de facto command of the Liberationist Party throughout the period of civil strife, going on to secure control of mainland Namor for the Liberationists.

In 1941, the NLA came under the control of the Military Affairs Commission of Namor, a state organ that acted parallel to the Military Affairs Commission of the Liberationist Party as part of an attempt to establish a "party-state" where the party was absolutely indistinguishable from the state. The Liberationists continued to exercise control over the NLA until the adoption of the Namorese constitution of 1955, which declared the NLA to be a nonpartisan military. The President-General of Namor became the supreme commander of the NLA.
