The Kiravian Army, officially the Federal Army, operates the Federacy's capability for {{wp|Land warfare|terrestrial warfare}}. The Federal Army was organised after the final unification of the [[Great Kirav|Kiravian island continent]] by the Continental War, which left the homeland well-protected by vast ocean distances. As such, the Federal Army's role been mainly expeditionary and colonial for most of its history, the chief exceptions being the [[Kiravian Civil War]] and the consequent defencive retrenchment of the [[Kiravian Remnant]]. | The '''[[Kiravian Army]]''', officially the Federal Army, operates the Federacy's capability for {{wp|Land warfare|terrestrial warfare}}.

The [[Kiravian Navy]] is a {{wp|blue-water navy}} tasked with defending Kiravian holdings and interests at sea. The contemporary Navy's primary concerns are defence of the Kiravian overseas colonies; the protection of Ixnayan and interregional sealanes vital to the Federacy's pluricontinental security, energy supply, and commercial navigation; and the projection of military power in support of Kiravian foreign policy. The Federal Navy relies on an extensive network of island bases and cutting-edge naval aviation and naval artillery to maintain a regionwide presence. | The '''[[Kiravian Navy]]''' is a {{wp|blue-water navy}} tasked with defending Kiravian holdings and interests at sea.

The Fundamental Statute preserves the right of the federated states to maintain armed forces for their own defence by virtue of {{wp|dual sovereignty}}. Leave to raise defence forces is also extended to non-state provinces (territories, federal districts, etc.) by legislation. Under the Confederate Republics and early Federacy, voluntary contributions of state forces and militia provided the backbone of Kiravian military manpower. Since 2026, the relationship between the federal and provincial armed forces has existed within the framework of the [[Index of Kiravian legislation|Territorial Defence Act]], which established the [[Territorial Defence Forces]]''' branch of the Federal Armed Forces responsible for organising and coördinating provincial forces in support of overall national defence goals. | The Fundamental Statute preserves the right of the federated states to maintain armed forces for their own defence by virtue of {{wp|dual sovereignty}}.

The Territorial Defence forces form the largest component of the Federacy's military reserves (the other components being the Naval Reserve and Army/Airforce Retired Reserve), and play an integral rôle in its homeland defence planning. They are now closely tied to the federal military through financial, training, and equipment transfer arrangements. Whereas the Regular Army and the Army Marine Corps are focused on an expeditionary and colonial mission profile, the provincial forces have taken on primary responsibility for homeland defence readiness, serving to deter aggression against the Federacy's major landmasses and to combat domestic threats. | The Territorial Defence forces form the largest component of the Federacy's military reserves (the other components being the Naval Reserve and Army/Airforce Retired Reserve), and play an integral rôle in its homeland defence planning.
