The Armed Forces of Davostan, officially the Davostani Defense Forces (Davostani: Dovske Forsvarsstyrker; Kivonian: Dovska Försvarsstyrkorna, abbreviated DDF) are the unified defensive and offensive forces of Davostan. The DDF was founded in 4790 after the Hutorian occupation formally ended in Davostan. The precursor to the DDF is the Third Republican Forces of the Third Kivonian Republic.
The Davostani Defense Forces is composed of three primary combat branches: the Davostani Army (Davostani: Dovske Hær; Kivonian: Dovska Armén), the Davostani Navy (Davostani: Dovske Flåde; Kivonian: Dovska Flottan) and the Davostani Air Force (Davostani: Dovske Luftvåben; Kivonian: Dovska Flygvapnet). The Davostani Special Forces are formed into the Leitz Squadron (Davostani: Leitzeskadron; Kivonian: Leitzskvadronen), they are counted as a formal fourth branch but operated independently of the traditional command structure due to their secretive nature. There is also the Davostani Military Police (Davostani: Dovske Militærpolitiet; Kivonian: Dovska Miilitärpolisen).

The Davostani Defense Forces are commanded by the Military High Command (Davostani: Militære Højkommando; Kivonian: Militära Högkommandot) which is headed by the Director-General of the Davostani Defense Forces (Davostani: Generaldirektøren for Dovske Forsvarsstyrker; Kivonian: Generaldirektören för de Dovska Försvarsstyrkorna).

The two work in cooperation to make policy and carry out the wishes of the people of the Davostani state. The Military High Command, also known as the Davostani High Command works closely with the Davostani government to create and craft policy for the government. It includes various departments and branches which manage the military of Davostan, it includes the commands of the Davostani Army, the Davostani Air Force, the Davostani Navy, the Leitzskvadron Command and the Military Intelligence Service.
