===Unified cobatant commands===
Unified combatant commands are joint military commands consisting of forces from multiple military departments, with their chain of command flowing from the president, to the minister of defense, to the commanders of the combatant commands. Each service organizes, trains, and equips forces that are then presented to the unified combatant commands through service component commands. Special Operations Command and Cyber Command also present theater special operations commands or joint force headquarters – cyber to other combatant commanders. Army components are typically dual-hatted as the joint force land component, Navy components are typically dual-hatted as the joint force maritime component, and Air Corps components are typically dual-hatted as the joint force air component, with the theater special operations command dual-hatted as the joint force special operations component, and Space Force component typically dual-hatted as the joint force space component.

The United Republic has one of the world's largest military budgets, and, at $458.8 billion in 2030, the largest in Crona.
 
The 2032 National Defense Authorization Act established the topline defense budget as $499.8 billion, with the Ministry of Defense receiving $475.81 billion and the Department of Energy's national security programs receiving $23.99 billion.
 
The Department of the Air Corps' budget, unlike the Department of the Army or Department of the Navy has a sizable portion of "pass-through." This is money that is not controlled or used by the Air Corps, but is instead passed to other Ministry of Defense agencies and can be up to 16% of the department's budget.
 
==Personnel==
While the United Republic Armed Forces is an all-volunteer military, conscription through the Selective Service System can be enacted at the President's request and Parliament's approval, with all males ages 18 through 25 who are living in the United Republic are required to register with the Selective Service.
 
As in most militaries, members of the U.R. Armed Forces hold a rank, either that of officer, warrant officer or enlisted, to determine seniority and eligibility for promotion. Those who have served are known as veterans. Rank names may be different between services, but they are matched to each other by their corresponding paygrade. Officers who hold the same rank or paygrade are distinguished by their date of rank to determine seniority, while officers who serve in certain positions of office of importance set by law, outrank all other officers in active duty of the same rank and paygrade, regardless of their date of rank.

===Rank structure===
The rank structure of the United Republic Armed Forces is split into three distinct categories: officers, warrant officers, and enlisted personnel. Officers are the leadership of the military, holding commissions from the president of the United Republic and confirmed to their rank by the Senate. Warrant officers hold a warrant from the secretaries of the military departments, serving as specialist in certain military technologies and capabilities. Upon promotion to chief warrant officer, they gain a commission from the president of the United Republic. Enlisted personnel constitute the majority of the armed forces, serving as specialists and tactical-level leaders until they become senior non-commissioned officers or senior petty officers. Military ranks across the services can be compared by U.R. Uniformed Services pay grade or CSTU rank code.

Officers represent the top 17% of the armed forces, serving in leadership and command roles. Officers are divided into three categories:
* O-1 to O-3: Company grade officers in the Army, Marine Corps, Air Corps, and Space Force or junior officers in the Navy and the Coast Guard.
* O-4 to O-6: Field grade officers in the Army, Marine Corps, Air Corps, and Space Force or mid-grade officers in the Navy and Coast Guard.
* O-7 to O-10: General officers in the Army, Marine Corps, Air Corps, and Space Force or flag officers in the Navy and Coast Guard.
Officers are typically commissioned as second lieutenants or ensigns with a bachelor's degree after several years of training and education or directly commissioning from civilian life into a specific specialty, such as a medical professional, lawyer, chaplain, or cyber specialist. The process in which an officer-candidate undergoes to receive their commission are typically through three principal options: through one of the United Republic service academies, a Reserve Officer Training Corps program at an accredited university, or the various Officer Candidate and Officer Training Schools.

Warrant officers are specialists, accounting for only 9% of the officer corps. Warrant officers hold warrants from their service secretary and are specialists and experts in certain military technologies or capabilities. The lower-ranking warrant officers serve under a warrant, but they receive commissions from the president upon promotion to senior warrant officer. They derive their authority from the same source as commissioned officers but remain specialists, in contrast to commissioned officers, who are generalists. There are no warrant officers in the Air Corps or Space Force.

Enlisted personnel consists of 82% of the armed forces, serving as specialists and tactical leaders. Enlisted personnel are divided into three categories:
* E-1 to E-3: Junior enlisted personnel are usually in initial training or at their first assignment.
* E-4 to E-6: Non-commissioned officers in the Army, Marine Corps, Air Corps, and Space Force and petty officers in the Navy and Coast Guard. Non-commissioned officers and petty officers are responsible for tactical leadership.
* E-7 to E-9: Senior non-commissioned officers in the Army, Marine Corps, Air Corps, and Space Force and chief petty officers in the Navy and Coast Guard. Serve as senior enlisted advisors to officers.
 
The rank of senior enlisted advisor is the highest rank in each service, serving as the primary advisors to their service secretary and service chief on enlisted matters. Prior to entering their service, enlisted personnel must complete their service's basic training, after which they then proceed to advanced individual training for their military occupational specialty.
 
==Nuclear Armaments==
''Main Articles: [[Nuclear Policy of the United Republic]], [[United Republic Atomic Energy Commission]]''
 
The United Republic has been a nuclear power since the end of the Second Great War, becoming one of the first nations to develop a nuclear program under what is now the [[United Republic Atomic Energy Commission]] (URAEC). While Alstin has maintained a sizeable nuclear arsenal, the exact whereabouts and quantities of such an arsenal have been deemed classified as "Top-Secret", as it pertains to highest interests of U.R. national security.
 
Nevertheless, the [[Government of Alstin|federal government]] maintains a strict "No First Use" policy, stipulating that such armaments may not be used in an offensive manner save as a last resort in accordance with the M.A.D. doctrine (Mutually Assured Destruction), nor without Parliamentary approval in other extremely extenuating circumstances.
