The Pacitalian Defence Forces (Pacitalian: Forza Combinanta dal Defenzo della Repubblica Pacitaliana) consist of 45.9 million people in uniform (including 21.7 million army, 2.1 million navy, and 4.5 million air force). In addition, approximately 675,000 serve in the special operations unit of the PDF, called the Special Attack Force Delta (SAFD), and a further 17.9 million are considered reserve forces, or active through the Pacitalian Emergency Task Force (the equivalent of the RL United States' National Guard). 294,000 of the 45.9 million are considered civilian employees. Pacitalia's defence budget equals about 3.4% of the GDP, and the current size of Pacitalia's forces equal about 1.4% of its total population of 3.3 billion (17-Nov-2005).

Military branches
The PDF-FCDRP consists of five main parts - an armed force, a naval force, an air force, an emergency task force and an internationally respected special operations wing.
Armed Forces (PAF-FdTP)
The Pacitalian Armed Forces (Pacitalian: Forza della Terra Pacitaliana) is the land-forces wing of the Pacitalian Defence Forces.
The Pacitalian Naval Forces (Pacitalian: Forza delle Nave Pacitaliana) is the naval wing of the Pacitalian Defence Forces.
Aeronautical Guard (PAG-FAP)
The Pacitalian Aeronautical Guard (Pacitalian: Forza Aeronautica Pacitaliana) is the air-force wing of the Pacitalian Defence Forces.
Emergency Task Force (PETF)
The Pacitalian Emergency Task Force (Pacitalian: Forza di Tascio all'Emergenzo Pacitaliana) is the international humanitarian and disaster response task force wing of the Pacitalian Defence Forces.
Special Operations
Pacitalia's special operations forces are internationally renowned and widely respected for their efficiency, high level of training and their apparent invincibility. Obviously, they are not invincible, but their never-say-never attitude has earned them much admiration and respect from the rest of the world, most notably similar operations units in other nations' militaries.
Special Attack Force Delta (SAFD)
The SAFD was created in the early 1960s as a task force for special operations.
Elite Special Operations Force (ESOF)
The ESOF was created under Timothy Ell's administration in 2005 as part of the once-secret Operation Deathchain.
