The Armed Forces of Cildania (Gizri: Forzi Armati ta' Kildanja) is principally composed of the Cildanian Army, the Cildanian Navy and the Cildanian Air Force. The Cildanian Gendarmerie functions as a fourth branch of the armed forces, with policing duties in various areas. The most recent significant reformation of the Cildanian armed forces focused on modernising organisation.

Command and control[]

Main article: Order of battle of the Armed Forces of Cildania

The highest authority in Cildanian military authority is the Prince of Cildania, the head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. The Prince, though largely ceremonial according to the Constitution of the Principality of Cildania, holds ultimate authority within Cildania. Underneath the Prince are four major figures: the Prime Minister, the civilian Ministry of Defense led by the Minister of Defense; the Chief of the Defense Staff, the "general staff" of the Cildanian armed forces and day-to-day operator, and the Secretary of the Supreme Council on Defense. Each of the aforementioned officials and officers play a pivotal role in the operation of the armed forces.

The Prime Minister and the Secretary of the Supreme Council on Defense largely set defense policy on a domestic and international level, whereas the Minister of Defense and the Chief of the Defense Staff play a more day-to-day, strategic and tactical role within the armed forces and assist in determining policy, training, tactics, etc.

Sacred Band[]

Main article: Sacred Band (Cildania)

The Sacred Band (Gizri: Banda Sagra) are the special forces and military intelligence outfit of Cildania and the armed forces. The Sacred Band draw their name from antiquity as elite warriors. In modern times the Sacred Band operate with a wide mission. Their first duty is the protection of the royal family and the protection of VIPs of the government (i.e. the Prime Minister, Speaker of the Council of Deputies, etc), they provide the military intelligence services to Cildania and operate all special force-type units within the Cildanian military. The Prince of Cildania is ultimately the "Leader of the Sacred Band" (Gizri: Mexxej tal-Banda Sagra) and members of the Sacred Band are drawn from all branches of service within the Cildanian military.
