Armed Forces of Armenia

The Armed Forces of Armenia (Armenian: Հայաստանի զինված ուժեր), sometimes referred to as the Armenian Army (Armenian: Հայկական բանակ, Haykakan Banak), is the national military of Armenia. It is comprised personnel branches under the General Staff of the Armenian Armed Forces, which can be divided into two general branches: the Ground Forces, and the Air Force and Air Defense Forces. Though it was partially formed out of the former Soviet Army forces stationed in the Armenian SSR (mostly units of the 7th Guards Army of the Transcaucasian Military District), the military of Armenia can be traced back to the founding of the First Republic of Armenia in 1918. Being a landlocked country, Armenia has no navy.
