The Armed Forces of The Central Republic Of Nyo are the unified armed forces of the Central Republic. They consist of the CRN Army, the CRN Navy and the CRN Air Force. The National Police of CRN, although technically not part of the military, is controlled and administered by the Ministry of Defense, and national conscription also includes service in the National Police, thus making it a de facto gendarmerie and a branch of the military. The President of CRN is the military's commander in chief, and helps formulate defense policy through the Ministry of Defense, which is in charge of day-to-day operations.
Ever since the advent of the Nuasda Conflict, the CRN military has been involved in combat, pacification, counter-insurgency, and drug interdiction operations all over the country's national territory. Recently it has participated in counter-piracy efforts in the Nyo Lake Region under Operation Nyobian Shield and Operation Hawa.
