The Vegnese Armed Forces (Vegnian: Forze armate vegnesi) encompass the Vegnese Army, the Vegnese Navy and the Vegnese Air Force. A fourth branch of the armed forces of Vegno, known as the Gendarmi, take on the role as the nation's military police. The national defence policy aims to guarantee the preservation of the independence and sovereignty of the state, the integrity of its land area, territorial waters, airspace and its constitutional order. The President of Vegno heads the armed forces as Chief of the Armed Forces.
The Vegnese Armed Forces contribute to, and in turn are supported by, the Apollonian and Keltian Continental Theatre Commands of the Raspur Pact, with the support provided by the Confederate States Armed Forces of Floria being especially notable.

Gendarmi
The Gendarmeria Nazionale, also known as Corpo di Gendarmeria per la Sicurezza Nazionale (Gendarmerie Corps for National Security), is the gendarmerie and military police of Vegno. They primarily carry out domestic policing duties. As the fourth branch of the Armed Forces, they come under the authority of the Ministry of Defence; for activities related to inland public order and security, they functionally depend on the Ministry of the Interior. Because of its military status, the Gendarmeria also fulfills a range of military and defence missions, including having a cybercrime division.
