The Ministry of Defense is divided into the Department of Military Defense (DMD) and the Department of Civilian Defense (DCD); the former contains the three subordinate military departments: The Department of the Legion, the Department of the Navy, and the Department of the Air Force.

The DMD also contains the two sub-branches of the military: the Urban Cohort, and the Praetorian Guard. The Department of Military Defense has statutory authority to conduct all the affairs of the uniformed services. It organizes the peacetime distribution of soldiers throughout the Imperium, sets military wages, communicates military policy to the public, and mediates requests for broad military policy from the Senate with the strategy of the Legion high command. This places the ministry at the forefront of the discrete machinations of the Imperial Armed Forces, being informed of every operation needing government clearance. There is no rank with greater military authority than the Legate of Military Defense - only the Imperator and General of the Imperial Armed Forces have equal command and imperium (executive power). The Legate of Military Defense has the unique access to the empire's satellite defense network and shares access codes for other weapons of mass destruction (e.g. Particle Bomb) with the General. As a way of coordinating national policy with military strategy, the Legate of Military Defense attends every meeting of the Caetus Legati (Gathering of Legates) where both global strategy and local tactics are designed. | ||

The National Guard of the Imperium (Castellanae Imperiae) also falls under the jurisdiction the DCD, making up the only civilian force within the military. The Department of Civilian Defense is responsible for ordering, coordinating and carrying out the general guidelines of the Government about the defense policy. It determines and oversees: the policies of defense, military alliances, the conduct of war, and most importantly he expenses and budget of the military. The Department of Civilian Defense also contains the Office of Advanced Research and Development (O-ARD), which is responsible for the development of emerging technologies for use by the military. | On the other hand, the Department of Civilian Defense maintains the static defenses of the Imperium, initiates new defensive installations on land, and organizes the peacetime distribution of national guard units across all castra (miitary bases).
