The Khmer National Armed Forces (Khmer: កងយោធពលខេមរជាតិ;^[a] French: Forces armées nationales khmères, FANK) were the official armed defense forces of the Khmer Republic, a short-lived nationalist and militaristic state that existed from 1970 to 1975, known today as Cambodia. The FANK was the successor of the Royal Khmer Armed Forces (French: Forces armées royales khmères, FARK) which had been responsible for the defense of the previous Kingdom of Cambodia since its independence in 1953 from France.
