The JADF (Joint Armed Defense Force) (統合防衛軍, Tōgō Bōei-gun) is a military faction known for keeping Earth and humanity safe and using brute force against the threat of monsters and aliens. Their goals include the annihilation of any existence that poses a potential threat to humanity.

Overview

The JADF is a defense organization to protect Japan from external enemy invasions. It has a large garrison base in Tokyo, Japan. Unlike the SRC, the JADF operates in a cold, decisive, and untrusting manner, attempting to eliminate all threats to humanity. As a national-level military organization, the JADF also communicates with military forces from various countries around the world.

When monsters appear, they attack their target while considering the destruction of the town. They unilaterally declare aliens or monsters as invaders and maintain a non-cooperative attitude towards protecting monsters, advocating that they would rather eliminate the monsters. As a result, their indiscriminate attacks often escalate the situation, leading to frequent conflicts with EYES, but they also sometimes cooperate.

As the series progresses, the JADF joins forces with EYES to defeat Chaos Header. However, even after the threat of Chaos Header has passed, the JADF still exists, with newly appointed commanders appearing in the movie adaptations of the series.
