The Imperator of Caphiria serves as the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Armed Forces, possessing ultimate authority, but holding no rank and maintaining a civilian status. As the top of the pyramid of command (''pyramidis imperia''), his orders must be followed without exception. Due to the separation of most Imperators from military life, their orders are typically vague with a great deal of strategic flexibility. The highest civilian leader within the Imperial Armed Forces is the [[Prime Minister of Defense (Caphiria)|Prime Minister of Defense]], who coordinates military action with the highest military officer, the [[General Commander (IAF)|General Commander]] of the IAF, who oversees every military branch and works with the Legates of each respective branch. | The Imperator of Caphiria serves as the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Armed Forces, possessing ultimate authority, but holding no rank and maintaining a civilian status.

The Imperial Armed Forces is the center-point of a military-industrial complex with immense power and international authority.

The IAF | The Imperial Armed Forces is the center-point of a military-industrial complex with immense power and international authority. With military expenditure consuming approximately a tenth of Caphiria's GDP and a mandatory conscription service, the military of Caphiria is the largest in terms of personnel and the largest in terms of the military spending. The IAF maintains an active military personnel of 7.1 million with its reserve force almost double, making it the largest and second-largest in personnel respectively. | ||

In the Constitution, the IAF is tasked with two functions: defending the citizens of the Imperium and enforcing the sovereign will of Caphiria on foreign powers.
