Angaorian Paramilitary Forces are those agencies of the Department of Defence or the Department of Homeland Security which act as armed forces auxiliaries and are considered part of the Angaor Armed Forces.

There are a large number of such paramilitary forces with a wide range of roles. The different forces tend to share a broadly gendarmerie role and generally perform counter-insurgency or anti-terrorist missions.

The Angaor Paramilitary Forces (PMF) are regarded as one of the world's largest ( with 2.8 million personnel) and most formidable paramilitary force. In 2005, the total strength of the paramilitary force stood at 2.8 million personnel.
