The Angolan Armed Forces （Portuguese: Forças Armadas Angolanas） or FAA is the military of Angola.
The FAA include the General Staff of the Armed Forces and three components: the Army （Exército）, the Navy （Marinha de Guerra） and the National Air Force （Força Aérea Nacional）.
Reported total manpower in 2013 was about 107,000.
The FAA is headed by the Chief of the General Staff António Egídio de Sousa Santos since 2018, who reports to the Minister of National Defense, currently João Ernesto dos Santos.
The FAA succeeded to the previous People's Armed Forces for the Liberation of Angola （FAPLA） following the abortive Bicesse Accord with the Armed Forces of the Liberation of Angola （FALA）,
armed wing of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola （UNITA）.
As part of the peace agreement, troops from both armies were to be demilitarized and then integrated.
Integration was never completed as UNITA and FALA went back to war in 1992.
Later, consequences for FALA personnel in Luanda were harsh with FAPLA veterans persecuting their erstwhile opponents in certain areas and reports of vigilantism.
The Angolan Armed Forces were created on 9 October 1991.
The institutionalization of the FAA was made in the Bicesse Accords, signed in 1991, between the Angolan Government and UNITA. The principles that would govern the FAA were defined in a joint proposal presented on September 24,
1991 and approved on 9 October.
On 14 November 1991, Generals João Baptista de Matos and Abílio Kamalata Numa were appointed to the Superior Command of the Armed Forces.
The ceremony took place at the Hotel Presidente Luanda, and was presided over by the then-minister França Vandúnem.
