The Mexican Armed Forces is composed of the Mexican Army and Air Force, and the Mexican Navy which is run by a separate Navy Secretariat the other two services are under the National Defense Secretariat. Their aim is like any other government's military, protect Mexico from both internal (drug cartels, the Zapatista uprising , and preventing illegal emigration, either inbound or outbound) and external threats (including Yanquis Con Tanques, not that their military would do any good should a war break out) and to aid the civilian population in natural disasters or outbreaks, just as in the 1985 earthquake, the 1996 Hurricane season, and the recent Swine Flu outbreak.
