Commonwealth Armed Forces

The Commonwealth Armed Forces are the military organizations of countries that are members of the Commonwealth of Nations, a voluntary association of mostly former British colonies. These forces include armies, navies, and air forces from member countries, which often collaborate for training, security, and peacekeeping missions. While each country maintains its own military, they sometimes work together through shared exercises and initiatives. The term reflects a historical linkage to the British military tradition, but each nation's armed forces operate independently under their own governments, with cooperation fostering collective security and strategic partnerships within the Commonwealth community.
