California Armed Forces

The California Armed Forces is the military force of the Republic of California. They consist of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. Unlike the United States Armed Forces, the Coast Guard is integrated into the California Navy; and during peacetimes and diasters, is supported by the California National Guard. The armed forces take their orders from the President of California, and the Secretary of Defense. The main purpose of the armed forces is to protect California at home and abroad.
