The Armed Forces of Montenegro (Montenegrin: Војска Црне Горе, romanizedVojska Crne Gore) are the military forces of Montenegro. The Armed Forces consists of an army, navy and air force.

The military currently maintains a force of 2,350 active duty members.[1] The bulk of its equipment and forces were inherited from the Armed Forces of Serbia and Montenegro; as Montenegro contained the entire coastline of the former union, it retained the entire naval force.[citation needed]

On 5 June 2017, Montenegro joined NATO as the 29th member.
