The United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland Defence Forces (UKIN-DF) comprise the following services:
- the Royal Isselmere-Nieland Navy (RINN), which includes the Royal Isselmere-Nieland Marines (RINM), the Fleet Air Arm, the (Navy) Strategic Defence Force, and the Coastal Defence Force;
- the Isselmere-Nielander Army;
- the Royal Isselmere-Nieland Air Force; and,
- the Isselmere-Nieland Orbital Defence Force.
The Minister of Defence and the Minister of State for the Defence Forces administer the UKIN-DF, with secretaries of State supervising the respective services. Overarching control of the UKIN-DF flows from the Defence Council of the External Affairs Section of the Council of State, chaired by the Sovereign and the Prime Minister.

Model Number
For electronics, model number is sequential following from the first two category listings, such as AR- or MR-. For decoys, missiles, bomb guidance systems, remotely piloted vehicles (not semi-autonomous uncrewed vehicles), and torpedoes, all are listed sequentially in accordance with the Defence Procurement Agency (DPA)-assigned Guided Weapon System (GWS) number. Ordnance is listed either in accordance with the weight of the device (bombs) or its diameter (shells).
Further suffixes
For bombs
Listed as follows:
- B = ballute retarded
- G = general purpose (unless L is more appropriate)
- L = low drag
- P = penetrator
- R = retarded
Vehicle Designation System
Type
