The system of forces defines the set of capacities that should exist for the fulfillment of the missions of the Armed Forces. It encompasses the set of systems of forces of all branches of the Armed Forces. The system of forces includes two components:
* Operational component - includes the set of assets and forces to be employed operationally. It is the dynamic part of the system of forces, including mainly deployable elements, such as [[frigate]]s, infantry [[battalion]]s and [[squadron (aviation)|flying squadrons]]. The operational component includes also some non-deployable operational command bodies. 
* Fix component - is the set of commands, units, establishments, bodies and services that are essential to the organization and general support of the Armed Forces and their branches. It is the static part of the system of forces, including only non-deployable elements, such as [[naval base|naval facilities]], [[regiment]]s and [[air base]]s.
