Emblem of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, Tagalog version — Emblem of AFP.

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) (Filipino: Sandatahang Lakas ng Pilipinas; Spanish: Fuerzas Armadas de las Filipinas) is the official military of the Philippines. It is composed of 4 branches: Philippine Army, Philippine Air Force, Philippine Navy, and Philippine Marine Corps. The President of the Republic of the Philippines is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces; this also includes the civilian law enforcement such as the Philippine Constabulary, the Integrated Police and the Philippine Coast Guard. Service in the military is voluntary although ROTC and CAT is mandatory in universities and high schools throughout the islands. Manpower as of 1990 is estimated to be 200,000 personnel of which 150,000 are in reserve.

The United States of America was the main supplier of military hardware to the Philippines following the end of the Spanish-American War to the proclamation of the Republic. With contact from the U.S. lost after the Great Nuclear War in 1962, the Philippines nationalized all U.S. military assets still in the country and placing all American troops under Filipino command for the time being. American-made equipment was reverse engineered as the Filipinos began making their own weapons with the loss of their primary supplier; as well as making their own weapons. In 1975, upon re-establishing contact with the United States of the Pacific - the successor to the United States federal government, the majority of U.S. soldiers who served under Philippine command left the country and returned to USP administrative territories while a few stayed. Other hardware that was nationalized was formally turned over by the USP to the Philippines. The USP today continues to be the primary supplier of weapons to the country. The AFP may sell military hardware to the Republic of Zhusanjiao (Pearl River Delta) in the future.

Philippine Army (PA)

The Philippine Army (Hukbong Katihan ng Pilipinas) is the primary ground forces of the Armed Forces. It is the oldest and largest branch of the military, tracing its roots to the Philippine Revolution and officially reorganized in 1935 under the Commonwealth government. The army's equipment is a blend of American military hardware, locally produced Filipino equipment, and captured Japanese weapons during World War II.

Philippine Air Force (PAF)

The Philippine Air Force (Hukbong Himpapawid ng Pilipinas) is the main aerial warfare branch of the AFP. Just like the United States Army Air Force during the 1940s, the PAF was initially part of the Philippine Army, known as the Philippine Army Air Corps. On July 1, 1947, it became a separate branch of the armed forces under executive order No. 94. The PAF operates fighter planes, both jet or propeller driven, cargo planes, and helicopters. Airmen are usually issued an M3 Grease Gun, an M1911 pistol, or a Browning HP pistol when they are downed as a last-resort defense. Guards at air bases are issued an M16, M14, a CAR-15 or an M1 Carbine.

To protect against an enemy air attack, the Philippine Air Forces has several mounted anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft missiles on their bases. The standard anti-aircraft gun is the quad-mounted, M2 Browning HMG or the WW2-era Japanese, triple-mounted Type 96 25 mm AT/AA gun. The Bongbong I surface-to-air missile systems are also placed alongside these AA guns.

Philippine Navy (PN)

The Philippine Navy is the primary naval forces of the country. The navy has patrol boats, riverine patrol boats, corvettes, and a variety of aircraft. It has received some U.S. Navy ships and aircraft (such as the P-3 Orion surveillance aircraft) that were nationalized after World War III. The USP continues to supply naval hardware to the Philippine Navy, even selling surplus ships and aircraft from the Second World War. It is currently building its first frigate for service, being built in the Balamban Ship Yard in Cebu. The Philippine Navy expects to increase its fleet to a green-water navy status by the year 2000-2010.

Philippine Marine Corps (PMC)

Philippine Marine Corps

Founded	November 2, 1950
Country	Philippines
Allegiance	Constitution of the Philippines (1935)

The Philippine Marine Corps (PMC; Filipino: Hukbong Kawal Pandagat ng Pilipinas, Spanish: 'Infantería Marina de las Filipinas'), is the marine corps of the Philippines, a naval infantry force under the command of the Philippine Navy. It conducts amphibious and expeditionary warfare, as well as special operation missions.

The Marines were first organized under President Elpidio Quirino in November 1950. The very first units of the Marine Corps were trained by the United States Army and the United States Marine Corps. After the Great Nuclear War of 1962, several Marine battalions were formed in order to counter the Communist and Islamic secessionist rebels within the country. Under President Marcos, the PMC was covertly trained to carry out an amphibious invasion of Sabah, which utilized in 1971. The operation, code named "Operation Merdeka" was the second foreign conflict of the Philippine military (the first one being the Korean War) and the first invasion conducted by the Philippines.

As per the 1951 U.S,-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty, the U.S. Marine Corps from the United States of the Pacific would train in military exercise with their Filipino counterparts.
