The United Armed Forces of the Commonwealth of Independent States (Russian: Объединённые Вооружённые силы Содружества Независимых Государств) was a short-lived military entity associated with the Commonwealth of Independent States. It was created in 1992 after the demise of the Soviet Union, and was intended to be the continuation of the Soviet Armed Forces and to hold control over the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons.

It was rapidly superseded by the de facto Russian control of those nuclear weapons,[1] and the formation of separate national armies for each of the former Soviet states, and had effectively ceased to exist by the end of 1993.[2][3]
