People's Armed Forces

People's Armed Forces are military organizations controlled by a government or political movement that emphasizes the role of civilians and grassroots participation. They typically include various military branches such as army, navy, and air force, but are distinguished by their focus on revolutionary principles, popular support, and often operate with a degree of political influence. These forces aim to defend national sovereignty, support political goals, or promote social change, often blending military activity with political and social objectives, especially in revolutionary or insurgent contexts.
