      Azerbajdžanske oružane snage ponovno su uspostavljene prema Zakonu Republike Azerbajdžan o oružanim snagama od 9. listopada 1991. Azerbajdžanska Demokratska Republika (ADR) izvorno je formirala vlastite oružane snage od 26. lipnja 1918., ali su raspuštene nakon što je Azerbajdžan pripojen Sovjetskom Savezu kao Azerbajdžanska Sovjetska Socijalistička Republika od 28. 04. 1920. Nakon raspada Sovjetskog Saveza 1991.-92. oružane snage su reformirane na temelju sovjetskih baza i opreme ostavljene na azerbajdžanskom tlu.

      Oružane snage imaju tri grane: Azerbajdžanske kopnene snage, Azerbajdžanske zračne i protuzračne obrambene snage i Azerbajdžanska mornarica. Pridružene snage uključuju Azerbajdžansku nacionalnu gardu, Unutarnje trupe Azerbajdžana i Državnu graničnu službu, koje pod određenim okolnostima mogu biti uključene u obranu države.

      The Azerbaijani Armed Forces were re-established according to the Law of the Republic of Azerbaijan on the Armed Forces from 9 October 1991. The Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (ADR) had originally formed its own Armed Forces from 26 June 1918 but were dissolved after Azerbaijan was absorbed into the Soviet Union as the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic from 28 April 1920. After the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991–92, the armed forces were reformed based on Soviet bases and equipment left on Azerbaijani soil.

      The armed forces have three branches: the Azerbaijani Land Forces, the Azerbaijani Air and Air Defence Force, and the Azerbaijani Navy. Associated forces include the Azerbaijani National Guard, the Internal Troops of Azerbaijan, and the State Border Service, which can be involved in state defense under certain circumstances.
