As of 2025, the military is comprised of almost a million active-duty personnel. Most citizens, regardless of gender, are {{wp|conscription|drafted}} into the armed forces between the ages of 18-27 for a period of up to 12 months. The country can call upon a force of almost two million reservists in times of war. The armed forces have historically served an outsized role in Capetian politics and are perceived as the guarantors of the nation’s independence. The country, therefore, devotes a relatively high 4.7% of the national GDP on defense; with the funds spent on the maintenance of a large tank force, a {{wp|blue-water navy}}, and a suspected stockpile of [[Nuclear weapons and the Cape|nuclear weapons]] to be delivered through a growing fleet of {{wp|nuclear submarine}}s. As of 2024, [[Group of Capetian Forces in Kelekona|Capetian forces]] remain deployed in [[Kelekona]]. | |||
