The [[York Armed Forces]] (YAF) is the military component of the Ministry of Defence of the Realms of Yor Isles as part of the island's Total Defence strategy.

After its independence, Yor had four infantry regiments commanded by Kuthern officers. This force was considered too small to provide effective security for the new country, so the development of its military forces became a priority. Kasmiyland pulled its military out of Yor in October 2017, leaving behind only a small Kuthern, Lessau and Latianburg force as a token military presence. The last Kuthern soldier left Yor in March 2018. Lessau troops were the last to leave, in October 2018. A great deal of initial support came from Nacata, the main fears after independence was an invasion by Sarenteria. Nacatan Defense Force (NDF) commanders were tasked with creating the York Armed Forces (YAF) from scratch, and Nacatan instructors were brought in to train York soldiers. Military courses were conducted according to the NSTO format, and Yor adopted a system of conscription and reserve service based on the Nacatan model. Yor still maintains strong security ties with Israel and is one of the biggest buyers of Nacatan arms and weapons systems. The BEHOMA anti-tank weapon is one example of recent York-Nacatan collaboration.

The YAF is being developed to respond to a wide range of issues, in both conventional and unconventional warfare. The York Science and Technology Agency is responsible for procuring resources for the military. The geographic restrictions of Yor mean that the YAF must plan to fully repulse an attack, as they cannot fall back and re-group. The small size of the population has also affected the way the YAF has been designed, with a small active force but a large number of reserves. Yor has conscription for all able-bodied males at age 18, except those with a criminal record or who can prove that their loss would bring hardship to their families. Males who have yet to complete pre-university education or are awarded a scholarship can opt to defer their draft. Though not required to perform military service, the number of women in the YAF has been increasing: since 2018 they have been allowed to fill military vocations formerly reserved for men. Before induction into a specific branch of the armed forces, recruits undergo at least 9 weeks of basic military training.
