Malaysia's Armed Forces are responsible for the protection of the country against internal and external threats. They serve in a wide variety of situations such as assisting civil authorities in addressing domestics threats, maintaining public security, providing aid following the onset of natural disasters, and assisting in national development programmes.

The Malaysian Armed Forces is comprised of three branches of service:

• The Malaysian Army (RMA) is responsible for the safeguarding of the nation against land-based threats.

• The Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) protects Malaysia's coastlines, territorial waters, and economic zones from potential trespass or illegal activity.

• The Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) maintains and operates a capability that is ready and able to project aerospace power to secure Malaysia's airspace and protect her national interests.

The Malaysian Armed Forces' official website provides a substantial amount of information relating to these branches of service, as well details relating to military colleges and careers in the armed forces.
