National Armed Forces

The Mantellan Army, Navy, Air Force and Carabinieri (National Police) collectively form the Forze Armate Naziunali (National Armed Forces), under the command of the Cunsiglu Naziunale di Difesa (National Defence Council), presided over by the High Chancellor of Mantella. In 2019, the Mantellan military had 252,710 personnel on active duty, of which 98,556 are Carabinieri. Total Mantellan military spending stands equal to 1.7% of national GDP.

The defence industry has seen significant growth over the years and it continues to grow on a yearly basis. Domestic arm companies play a core role in building up Mantella military capabilities, particularly the state-owned Comtaer (aerospace), Repubblica (defence systems) and Manetti (heavy weaponry, guns and ammunition). The only major foreign supplier untill 2019 was Machina Haruspex, through the LinkHaruspex International Armaments.

The National Armed Forces has a central role in the Tito Vero's New Order, composing the Green Faction of the Unionista party.

The Esercitu Naziunale (National Army) l is the Mantellan ground defence force, numbering 93,502 in 2019. Its best-known combat vehicles are the license built Repubblica LinkMT113A3 tracked APC/IFV and the native Repubblica LinkMT-40 Mk.2 tank, and among its aircraft the Comtaer LinkA-11 Ventu ground-attack jet, in the last years deployed in missions in the Cristinese-controlled territories.

The Marina Navale Naziunale (National Navy) in 2019 had 30,325 active personnel with 75 commissioned ships and 105 aircraft, including an Linkhelicopter cruiser.

The Aeronautica Naziunale (National Air Force) in 2019 had a strength of 30,327 and operated 394 aircraft, including 147 combat jets and 74 helicopters. The backbone of the National Air Force is the LinkAérospatiale LinkProjet 699-Mirage (84 active aircrafts of the M variant, all acquired before 1990). A transport capability is guaranteed by a fleet of 20 Comtaer LinkG.222.

An autonomous corps of the military, the Carabinieri are the gendarmerie and military police of Mantella, policing the military and civilian population alongside Mantella's other police forces. While the different branches of the Carabinieri report to separate ministries for each of their individual functions, the corps reports to the Ministry of Internal Affairs when maintaining public order and security.
