The Commander-in-Chief (the President), and a civilian Minister of Defense control the Armed Forces of the Argentine Republic. The Army, Navy, and Air Force are not the only security forces available. Two security forces controlled by the Ministry of Security can be mobilized in the event of an armed conflict. These include the National Gendarmerie (a gendarmerie that protects borders and strategic places) and the Naval Prefecture (a coast guard that protects internal major rivers and maritime territories).
