The armed forces of Oglethorpia are commonly known as the Aggregated Armed Forces, and officially, as the Bureaucratic States Aggregated Armed Forces. The Executive Office collectively holds the title Commander-in-Chief (in actuality, Commanders-in-Chief) during times of war; during peacetime, mobilization of the military is handled by the Defense Bureau.

The principal purpose of the Aggregated Armed Forces is to preserve the security of the Bureaucratic States; involvement abroad is exceptionally rare and has only ever been on a small scale in recent history. While the Aggregated Navy acts as the primary line of defense, Oglethorpia also maintains a standing army and air force for dire situations.

The active duty personnel count for all branches of the military stands at 9,370,000. Both the Aggregated Army and Aggregated Air Force reported strengths of 2,811,000, and the Aggregated Navy a strength of 3,279,500. The Aggregated Armed Forces also has a tactical nuclear strike capability, shared between the Aggregated Air Force and Navy.

While the Bureaucratic States Aggregated Armed Forces are exceptionally well-funded, receiving 3% of the nation's GDP, their force projection capabilities are not as strong as that of other countries due to the military's primarily defensive role. This defensive stance is evident in the fact that Oglethorpia's Aggregated Armed Forces have seen little to no conflict in the past half-century. Recently, this has created a rift between politicians seeking to preserve the military as it stands, and those that wish to cut defense spending.
