=== Federal Army ===

Caracua's army, the Federal Army or Caracuan Federal Army (CFA), consists of four brigades modelled in a roughly Occidental style, with three motorized infantry brigades and a Pathfinders Brigade, the latter of which is in theory special forces but acts in a mountaineering and border patrol capacity. The majority of its equipment is surplus Occidental equipment, and training is handled by a small core of local officers aided by Fanerian advisors. Most of the initial equipment was mixed, with captured Algosh arms, local small arms, and Fhainnin gifts being seen side by side, but as reorganizations have gone on the Army has gradually approached uniformity, with the oldest armaments being passed down to garrison units and later decommissioned or sold off in batches to Sabnaki or other petty states to help pay for better equipment. The CFA only possesses a half-dozen tanks, although its primary armored vehicle, the [[Bataís 1962-2|Bataís]], is an excellent rough terrain vehicle (for a tracked system) and is decently effective against most of the local Cronan threats the CFA would reasonably be expected to fight.

Originally, the Federal Army consisted of a large variety of militia forces and political extremist groups; after the [[Peninsular War]], an internal winnowing was undertaken to refine the military into a considerably smaller and more manageable force aimed at national defense and maintaining internal order. The focus of military doctrine is purely defensive, and as such relies on simpler, tried-and-true methods rather than complex maneuver.

=== Federal Navy ===

The Caracuan navy, the Federal Navy or Caracuan Federal Navy (CFN), is a green-water force which consists of six major surface craft (one older frigate, two icebreakers, and three heavy patrol craft) and two dozen-odd patrol boats; its frigate is a mine warfare-oriented design of Fanerian origin and its corvettes are Fanerian surplus. The Navy also operates Caracua's fleet of fourteen aircraft (two trainers, four scout planes, and eight last-gen fighter craft). Its primary role is coastal and air defense, and it operates the country's major naval base in Kimiornee and uses Mharnsgate as a second port due to the Fanerian base there.

Caracua maintains four fighter aircraft and several scout planes and a small fleet of helicopters, as well as a few patrol boats for riverine and coastal patrol duties; it only has brown-water naval capabilities. By far the largest portion of the Confederate Army is made up of the Territorial Guards, a mixture of gendarmes and reservist forces maintained locally and called up in times of crisis to form a large militia force around the core of the Central Army. Caracua has drafted plans to expand the ground forces of the Confederate Army at an undetermined point in the future, with internal legal disputes and the threat of warlordism preventing such plans from being immediately implemented out of concern for unfettered military control of the civilian government.
