A military, also known as military forces, defense forces, or armed forces, were a group organized for conflict, making use of military technology in the name of a government.

Militaries were frequently divided into separate services or branches with differing operational expertise. Military personnel were usually organized hierarchically, rank often indicated by distinct uniforms and insignia.

The Kressari did not possess a military. (DS9: "The Circle")

A navy was the branch military forces principally designated for lake- or ocean-borne combat operations and related functions. Many traditions that originated in the early Earth-based navies were still adhered to by Starfleet in the 23rd century. A submarine service was a navy branch that operated submarines.

The Starfleet rank structure was the same as that used by the navy of the 20th century United States of America.
