The Tierradorian Defense Forces are the national military of the nation. The TDF is known for "providing a unique example of a military leadership's transforming itself into a civilian political elite, simultaneously transferring the basis of power from the army to a civilian state." The transformation was brought about by revolutionary generals in the 1850s and 1860s, following the demise of the Second Imperial Army following its complete defeat during the decade-long Revolution of 1867 and the Beaver Wars from 1796 to 1823 and from 1867 to 1874. The Tierradorian Defense Forces are administered by the National Defense Office (NDO) and the Homeland Security Office (HSO). Within it are three branches: the Tierrador Army, the Tierrador Air Force, and the Tierrador Navy. The National Defense and Homeland Security Offices have jurisdiction over the Civil Guard, which was formed in 1961 from the disbanded Federal Police along with the military police operatives of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Figures vary on personnel, but as of are approximately 1,105,000 Tierradorian Defense Forces personnel (460,000 Army; 308,000 Air Force; 337,000 Navy, including about 85,000 personnel in the Marine Command), approximately 180,000 in the Civil Guard, and 96,000 in the Maritime Defense Authority. Government expenditures on the Defense Forces constitute a relatively small proportion of GDP: 1.1% of GDP (2031 est.). Following the end of the [[The Deluge|Deluge]] and the fall of [[Varshan]], the federal government of Tierrador cut back on military spending, due to a reduced need for major military power.

The Tierradorian Defense Forces maintain significant infrastructure, including facilities for design, research, and testing of weapons, vehicles, aircraft, naval vessels, defense systems and electronics; military industry manufacturing centers for building such systems, and advanced naval dockyards that build heavy military vessels and advanced missile technologies. Tierrador became one of the first Cronan nations to enrich weapons-grade uranium, and developed a stockpile of about 160 nuclear weapons. Despite this, there have been talks of reducing the Tierradorian nuclear arsenal by half, to just 80 warheads. This is part of a process in which the nation slowly but surely reduces the nuclear weapons program, due to the high costs of operating said weapons program with no use in the future. Tierrador signed the LoN treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Historically, Tierrador has remained neutral in international conflicts, with the exception of the [[Second Great War]]~~, the [[Mosquito War]],~~ and the [[~~Saukhin~~ Wars]]. However, in recent years some political parties have proposed an amendment of the Constitution to allow the Tierrador Army, Air Force or Navy to collaborate with the [[League of Nations]] in peacekeeping missions, or to provide military help to countries that officially request it. Tierrador has earned a reputation of being one of the most difficult nations to stage a land invasion on, as gun politics in the nation allow for the civilian ownership of firearms if deemed fit for use. Because of this, close to 38 million Tierradorian non-military citizens own at least one firearm.
