The Comorian Armed Forces (French: Armée nationale de développement, AND; lit. 'National Army for Development') are the national military of the Comoros.
The armed forces consist of a small standing army and a 500-member police force, as well as a 500-member defense force. A defense treaty with France provides naval resources for protection of territorial waters, training of Comorian military personnel, and air surveillance. France maintains a small troop presence in the Comoros at government request. France maintains a small Navy base and a Foreign Legion Detachment (DLEM) (now the 5th Foreign Infantry Regiment) in Mayotte. In 2008, the size of the armed forces was estimated to be 1,060.
The AND has worked with the United States and African Union armed forces as well. In 2008, the African Union helped the AND retake control of Anjouan after the island had been taken over by rebels.
