The military of the Hamanian Empire forms the armed forces of Hama and its dependencies. This body forms the main mechanism by which the armed power and force of Hama, and the Hamanian Empire, is projected and maintained. The body is unusual in its structure and functioning due to the dynamic politics of the realms over which it is charged to protect. The military is collectively and formally referred to as His Hamanic Majesty's Armed Forces. This establishes the military as an entity that is under the authority of and loyal to the King of Hama. In practice, this body is highly decentralized. It is formed of many semi independent and jurisdictionally limited structures.

Land forces

The term "land forces" is a term that refers to all the structure that are primarily concerned with combat on the ground. These forces are made up of cavalry, infantry, mechanized infantry and artillery. Due to the modernization of the forces, particularly in the more developed colonies and territories. These four branches of terrestrial combat determine how these ground forces are organized and the command structures that are placed over them.

Maritime forces

The term "maritime forces" is generally more restricted to the Navy of Hama, but there are peripheral forces. The Navy of Hama formed the main engine of Hamanian imperialism. It was the first part of the military to form a central organ of armed force that was under the command of the central Hamanian government. While the tribal forces, that provided defense and administered law and order, were constituted and under the tribes with approval and oversight of the central government, the Navy was fully controlled by the King in Komodu.

Aerial forces

The aerial forces are the youngest forces to be established. They were only established, in some form, in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century. While the technology that was needed to build and the money that was needed to buy and maintain aircraft was only available to the Air Force of Hama, aircraft became more easily available in other parts of the empire. Many aerial combat units in other parts of the empire were only introduced halfway through the twentieth century. Devolved authorities assumed more control over them and the land forces.
