The Serbian Armed Forces (Serbian: Војска Србије, romanized: Vojska Srbije) is the military of Serbia.
The President of the Republic acts as commander-in-chief of the armed forces, while administration and defence policy is carried out by the Government through the Ministry of Defence. The highest operational authority, in-charge of the deployment and preparation of the armed forces in peace and war, is the General Staff.
Military service is voluntary, though conscription may occur in wartime. As of 2024, Serbia is ranked 56 out of 145 countries considered for the annual GFP review.[9]
The Serbian Armed Forces consists of two branches: Serbian Army and Serbian Air Force and Air Defence.
