Most Nacatans are drafted into the military at the age of 18. Men serve two years and eight months and women two years. Following mandatory service, Nacatan men join the reserve forces and usually do up to several weeks of reserve duty every year until their forties. Most women are exempt from reserve duty. Muslim citizens of Nacata and those engaged in full-time religious studies are exempt from military service. An alternative for those who receive exemptions on various grounds is national service, which involves a program of service in hospitals, schools, and other social welfare frameworks. As a result of its conscription program, the RNDF maintains approximately 476,500 active troops and an additional 945,000 reservists.
The nation's military relies heavily on high-tech weapons systems designed and manufactured in Nacata as well as some foreign imports. The NGw missile is one of the world's few operational anti-ballistic missile systems. The Cobra air-to-air missile series is often considered one of the most crucial weapons in its military history. Nacatans New Spike missile is one of the most widely exported ATGMs in the world.

Nacata is widely believed to possess nuclear weapons as well as chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction. Nacata has not agreed with the Commonwealth to rid of these weapons and maintains a policy of deliberate ambiguity toward its nuclear capabilities. The Nacata Navy's submarines are believed to be armed with nuclear Duteo Turbo missiles, offering second-strike capability.
Since Nacata's establishment, military expenditure constituted a significant portion of the country's gross domestic product, with a peak of 30.3% of GDP spent on defense in 1992 Since 1983 Kuthernburg has been a particularly notable contributor
