The '''Imperial Self Defense Force''' (帝国自衛隊, Teikoku Jieitai), ISDF, or Self Defense Forces is the unified military forces of Fuso. It was established in 1868 as the Imperial Army and underwent its name change after the unification of the Imperial Army and Imperial Navy into the ISDF under the Ministry of Defense in 1956. The Imperial Self Defense Force comprises of three services, the Ground Self Defense Force, Maritime Self Defense Force, and Air Self Defense Force.

|Entering service with the ISDF in 1973, the Type 73 APC replaced the Type 60 APC by 1980. It serves as one of the main methods of transport for mechanized troops in the ISDF and is supplemented by the Type 96 WAPC. Variants of the Type 73 allow it to carry mortars and serve as a command vehicle. The Type 73 can also function as an amphibious transport. However, it requires external equipment to be able to do so.
