Show answer and explanation
✓ El Ejército del Aire y del Espacio
The Fuerzas Armadas (the armed forces) are the Ejército de Tierra (the army), the Armada (the navy) and the Ejército del Aire y del Espacio (the air and space force; this is the name since 2022 of the former Ejército del Aire). Their mission is to defend Spain and its territorial integrity. The Guardia Civil and the Policía Nacional are security forces of the State, and the Policía Foral is a regional force, not a military one. Firefighters are not military either. Although the Guardia Civil is an armed institute of a military nature, it does not belong to the Fuerzas Armadas.
