Arcerion National Security Enterprise

The National Security Enterprise of Arcerion is the combined civilian and military organizations that form part of Arcerion's domestic and international response to national issues relating to policing, use of armed force, intelligence, surveillance, diplomacy, and international relations.

Origins
In 1966, Arcerion's Confederate Parliament realized that there was a distinct lack of coordination in response to the Arcer Bush Wars. The Bush Wars identified that the whole-of-government had to respond to issues in force, with liaison officers, joint coordination and CIMIC (civil-military cooperation) to effectively combat insurgent forces in the Operation Terrace area. In response, the first Government Coordination Centre (GCC) was created, comprised of senior officers and enlisted advisors from each of Arcerion's armed service branches, intelligence liaisons from the Office of Public Security and National Safety, and representatives from the Royal Arcerion Constabulary and Arcerion Diplomatic Service. The successful end to the insurgency led to reconstruction effort needed to ensure a safe and secure effort to repair war damage from the conflict and revamp the local economy. Not wanting the efforts to be wasted, the Confederate Parliament moved to establish the National Security Enterprise as an more permanent element within the Arcer government.

At the war's conclusion in 1975, the government established the Ministerial Coordination Element (MCE) to further ensure all governmental services were represented. Within the MCE, the representative of the National Security Enterprise were a delegated official from each of the NSE's four components, giving the ordinary Arcer government departments access to a greater amount of resources and ability to bring effect to problem sets. The first major test of the NSE's coordination and capability came with internal issues stemming from socialist revolts and unrest in Easthampton, wherein the NSE deployed members of the Royal Arcerion Constabulary, with limited assistance from the Arcerion Special Operations Command to combat the ringleaders, with the OPSNS providing over-border infiltration and interdiction of cells and support networks from Washakara stirring up socialist Indigenous forces. Concurrent to this, the Diplomatic Service engaged Washakara to ensure they understood the government's position that meddling in domestic Arco affairs would not be tolerated. In total, the events lasted less than a year, showing that the combined efforts of the Arcer government could yield excellent results.

Agencies
The Arcer National Security Enterprise is comprised of four main elements, of which both military and civilian organizations are represented.
 * Armed Forces of Arcerion, comprised of Arcerion's land, air, sea, and special operations forces;
 * Office of Public Safety and National Security, which conducts intelligence and surveillance in support of the government's intelligence objectives and serves their requirements both domestically and internationally;
 * Royal Arcerion Constabulary, the federal police service and gendarmerie in Arcerion, responsible for cross-governorate policing issues and policing at the national level;
 * Arco Airmobile Ops.jpgArcerion Diplomatic Services, comprised of representatives from the Department for International Trade, the Foreign Office, and the civilian personnel from the Ministry of Defence.

Structure and Coordination
The NSE primarily consists of representatives from all four of the main components, which sit in a committee weekly to discuss and plan for issues and problems assigned to them or brought to their attention by their respective services. As well, coordination is done with the Ministerial Coordination Element, wherein those services that are not represented are given a voice.
