The Oportian Security Forces (Alexandrian: Forces de Sécurité Oportiennes) is the civilian police, border guard, and military force of the State of Oportia. It consists of seven military branches: the Army of Oportia], the Navy of Oportia, the Aerospace Force of Oportia, the Oportian National Guard, the Joint Border Forces, the Oportian National Gendarmerie, and the Oportian Special Commands. The Oportian National Guard serves as the Oportian Security Forces' military reserve force.

As stipulated by the Constitution of Oportia, the Federal Representative of Oportia is the commander-in-chief of the Oportian military. As of 1733 AN, the total active personnel is 307,167 (excluding the personnel of the Oportian National Guard). Reserves numbers (personnel of the Oportian National Guard) are 1,223,118. Since 1722 AN, the Oportian Security Forces have been subjected to a series of reforms, modernizations, and expansions. The Oportian Defense Review 1723 led to a wide-ranging modernization program that continues today.

International Stance

Weapons of Mass Destruction

Oportian military doctrine is based on the concepts of national independence, nuclear deterrence, and military self-sufficiency. Since 1722 AN, Oportia has undertaken a major restructuring to develop a professional military that will be stronger, more rapidly deployable, and better tailored for operations outside of mainland Oportia. Key elements of the restructuring include: recruiting more personnel, building more bases, re-establishing area defense headquarters, and the rationalization of equipment and the armaments industry. After conducting a controversial series of six nuclear underground tests in early 1733 AN near MB8 in central southeastern Eura, the administration of Galilea Montijo imposed a moratorium on nuclear testing.

It is reported that Oportia has a small stockpile of 20 nuclear warheads, developed and built between 1728 AN and 1733 AN by Oportian Dynamics and the Department of National Defense.
