The Oportian Self-Defense Forces (Alexandrian: Forces d'Autodéfense Oportiennes) are the limited defensive military organization of the State of Oportia, established on 15.III.1746 AN following the dissolution of the Oportian Security Forces under the Vanie Accords of 1745. The organization operates under strict constitutional and international limitations as part of the comprehensive demilitarization program imposed after the Fourth Euran War.

The Oportian Self-Defense Forces consist of three service branches: the Ground Self-Defense Force of Oportia, the Maritime Self-Defense Force of Oportia, and the Air Self-Defense Force of Oportia. With a maximum authorized strength of 45,000 personnel, the forces are constitutionally restricted to defensive operations within Oportian territory, with the Raspur Pact supplementing and guaranteeing Oportia's security through the Vanie Accords of 1745.

Formation and mandate

Establishment

The Oportian Self-Defense Forces were formally established by the Transitional Government of the State of Oportia on 15.III.1746 AN, replacing the dissolved Oportian Security Forces. The new organization emerged from the comprehensive security sector reform mandated by the Vanie Accords of 1745, which required the complete dismantlement of all military institutions associated with the National Salvation Council regime. The formation process was overseen by the Trans-Euran Command in coordination with international advisors from the ESB Group and the Oportian Defense Consortium. Unlike traditional military establishments, the Self-Defense Forces were designed specifically to focus on internal security, disaster response, and limited territorial defense within strict constitutional boundaries.

Constitutional framework

Under the reformed Constitution of Oportia, the fundamental principle of renouncing war as a sovereign right of the nation is established. The Self-Defense Forces operate under a constitutional framework that explicitly prohibits the maintenance of land, sea, and air forces for the purpose of warfare, limiting the organization to defensive operations and civilian support functions. The constitutional limitations include restrictions on collective self-defense agreements without prior approval from the Raspur Pact, mandatory international oversight of all military activities, and prohibition of any weapons systems capable of offensive operations beyond Oportian territorial boundaries.
