The Cape Armed Forces (Cape Coscivian: Fortsan do Kabo Verdadeiro - literally "Armed Forces of the Rightful Cape") is the constitutional military of the Federacy of the Cape. It consists of four service branches - the Cape Ground Forces, the Cape Aerospace Forces, the Cape Republican Navy, and the Cape Strategic Forces. The commander-in-chief of the military is the Capetian head of state, the President of the Federacy. Defence policy is formed through the Department of Defence and the General Staff, which represents the command of the armed forces on behalf of the Supreme National Assembly.
Born out of the Republican Nationalist Party-led National Revolutionary Army and its role in Capetian War of Independence, the Cape Armed Forces have been civilianized since the restoration of the Federacy post-reclamation. Although technically adhering to the principle of the civilian control of the military, the CAF continues to see itself as the guardian of the Cape's state ideology, Restarkism. It has therefore played an outsized role in Capetian politics, most recently leading an institutional coup d'état in 2021.
The CAF is one of the largest militaries in Crona by total number of military personnel. While the CAF's primary fighting force is drawn from a group of paid professional volunteers, military service for up to 12 months is compulsory for citizens of all genders.
Since the 2000s, the CAF is one of the most powerful militaries in Crona, maintaining a nascent blue-water navy comprised of five aircraft carriers, the continent's largest strategic bomber force, and a suspected stockpile of nuclear weapons.
