Main Article: [[Duelland Armed Forces]]
Duellands military, the Nescao, is organised into [[Republic Of Duelland Army]], [[Republic of Duelland Marines]], [[Republic of Duelland Navy]], ''and the [[Republic of Duelland Airforce]]'' branches. In absolute terms, Duelland military expenditure is one of the highest in the world. In 2019, military spending was at $86.4 billion, about 2.3% of the country's GDP, well above the NSTO target of 1.6%.
As of January 2020, DAF has a strength of 212,100 active soldiers and 91,349 civilians. Reservists are available to the Armed Forces and participate in defense exercises and deployments abroad. Until 2007, military service was compulsory for men at age 18, but this has been officially suspended and replaced with a voluntary service. Since 2006 women may serve in all functions of service without restriction.
In peacetime, the DAF is commanded by the Minister of Defense. In state of defense, the President would become commander-in-chief of DAF. The role of the DAF is described in the Constitution of Duelland as defensive only. But after a ruling the term "defense" has been defined to not only include protection of the borders of Duelland, but also crisis reaction and conflict prevention, or more broadly as guarding the security of Germany anywhere in the world. As of 2020, the Duelland military has about 6,300 troops stationed in foreign countries as part of international peacekeeping forces, including about 2,200 supporting operations against Al-Jaheed, 1,100 in the NSTO-led Resolute Support Mission in Atiland, and 400 in Sokala.
