Ministry of Security
The Ministry of Security is the supreme body tasked with coordinating and commanding all Mallaskan military and security elements, ranging from branches of the military, to the National Police, and to the National Intelligence Service. The Ministry of Security is under the command of the Minister of Security, whom answers to the orders of the Premier, and by the will of the National Assembly.
The Ministry of Security was formed in 1926, converted from the original Office of War by the Security Act of 1925. The Ministry of Security had upgraded the power and size of the nation's armed forces and was also charged with now providing law enforcement services to the nation, which it had provided by unifying the Provincial Constabularies and creating the National Police in lieu.
The Ministry of Security maintains the entirety of Mallaskan security elements, and as a result, has many branches for the purpose of efficiently managing them.
