The High Kingdoms Armed Forces, also known as His Grace's Serene Armed Forces, are the military services responsible for the defence of the High Kingdoms of Alaxia. They also promote the union's wider interests, such as supporting international peacekeeping efforts and providing humanitarian aid. Furthermore, it is one of the recognised nuclear powers in the world. The Armed Forces consist of four branches: the Grand Army, Navy, Royal Air Force and National Guard. Each branch has a specific role within the High Kingdoms military apparatus and they each conduct operations in their designated domain. Additionally, the National Guard acts as a paramilitary force and a law enforcement force. Each of the branches are further separated into sub-branches and administrative formations.
While officially formed in 2448, the groundwork of the modern H.K.A. military framework was paved by the Inysta Conference of 2445. However, it took nearly a decade for the organisation, tactics, structure and traditions of the constituent nations to be properly reformed into a reliable and efficient military force. It has participated in numerous military conflicts, insurgencies and humanitarian missions since its formation. Chief amongst them is the Heboi conflict of the 2510s. The National Guard was founded in 2456 after the Inysta Straits Crisis.
The monarch of the High Kingdoms of Alaxia is the Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief. As of 2026, this is Albert I. However, constitutional convention allows for the delegation of de facto executive authority to the President of the High Kingdoms as the President is the representative of the monarchy and herald of the monarch. Some authority also resides in the Defense Minister as he or she is the highest ranking military official. The Defense Ministry handles all legislative and administrative duties of the Armed Forces, this includes enacting and enforcing the defence policy set by the President and his cabinet along with the Royal Defense Council.
The High Kingdoms is a permanent member of the International Concord Security Committee and one of the nuclear-armed states. It is also one of the founding and leading members of the IDDI.
