The Tauranga Commonwealth of Micronations Armed Forces (TCMAF) shortened; Commonwealth Armed Forces (CAF) were the multinational engagement force of the Tauranga Commonwealth of Micronations. Although not officially designated as an armed force at the time, former Secretary General Ethan Brinkman, grouped all nations soldiers who were serving at the time as the armed forces of the Commonwealth to allow for better operability and standardization.

At its peak the TCMAF was the largest active armed force in the micronational world.

Following the end of the Commonwealth - Empire War on 26 October 2022, the TCMAF was dissolved. However, at the beginning of the Benereich - Coalition War, Secretary General Tristen allowed the three nations who claimed sovereignty over Rat Island, to form their own Coalition. It is believed that this Coalition is the direct continuation of the TCMAF, until it was dissolved at the end of the conflict.
