The '''Armed Forces of [[Uruguay]]''' (''Fuerzas armadas del Uruguay'' or ''FF.AA. del Uruguay'') consist of an army, navy, and air force. These three branches are [[Constitution of Uruguay|constitutionally]] subordinate to the [[President of Uruguay|president]] through the Minister of Defense. By offering early retirement incentives, the government has trimmed the armed forces to about 14,500 for the army; 6,000 for the navy; and 3,000 for the air force. As of February 2003, Uruguay has more than 2,500 soldiers deployed on 12 [[UN]] [[peacekeeping]] missions. The largest groups are in the [[Democratic Republic of the Congo]] and [[Haiti]]. There is also an 85-man{{Fact|date=October 2008}} contingent in the [[Multinational Force and Observers|MFO]] in the [[Sinai Peninsula|Sinai]].
