The SIAF consists of the '''Imperial Army''', the '''Imperial Flying Force''' and the '''Imperial Armada'''. Officially reorganized in 1918 by consolidating paramilitary organizations within the Empire - chief amongst which were its constituent sheikhdoms' various locally-raised armies and regiments that later evolved to form the bulk of the Imperial Armed Forces. The SIAF also draws upon the resources of the Military Intelligence Directorate and coordinate effort with various different Sayqidi intelligence agencies. Battle-trained through various wars throughout its history, the SIAF is often regarded as one of Gondwana's most flexible armed forces with extensive cooperation with other states within the context of [[Comlathas|CEDO]].

Since the abolishment of the "National Service Draft" in 1992, the Sayqidi Imperial Armed Forces transitioned into an all-volunteer professional army, though the draft may be reintroduced in the event of a national emergency with the consent of the Chamber of Viziers or via an Imperial Directive issued by the Sultana. Following the conclusion of their service, Sayqidi citizens join the reserve forces and usually do up to several weeks of reserve duty every year until they're in their fourties. Sayqidi citizens engaged in full-time religious studies are exempt from military service. As of 2024, The SIAF maintains approximately 83,000 active troops and an additional 65,000 reservists.
