The Ministry of Defense is divided into two departments - the Department of Military Defense (DMD), which contains the military, and the Department of Civilian Defense (DCD), which 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'' (military bases). | |||

The DMD has statutory authority to conduct all the affairs of the uniformed services and consists of the three subordinate military departments: the Department of the Legion, the Department of the Navy, and the Department of the Air Force. The Office of Military Defense 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. | |||
The head of the DMD is the Legate of Military Defense, who has unique access to the Imperium's satellite defense network and shares access codes for other weapons of mass destruction (e.g. particle bomb) with the Marshal General of the IAF. As a way of coordinating national policy with military strategy, the Legate of Military Defense attends every meeting of the ''[[Caetus Legati]]'' where both global strategy and local tactics are designed. | |||

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 (military bases). The DCD 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 the 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. | |||
The DCD is composed of the Department of Static Defenses, Office of Defense Logistics, Office of Defense Contract Logistics & Auditing, Office of Emergency Management, and Office of Peacetime Distribution. The DCD also contains the [[Urban Cohort]] - Caphiria's principal law enforcement agency and domestic security service, and the National Guard. | |||
The DCD is led by the Legate of Civilian Defense - who despite having civilian status, is the most influential civilian within the military of Caphiria. The Legate of Civilian Defense is also a component of the [[Caetus Legati|''Caetus Legati'']], representing the administrative and civilian backbone of the Caphiria's military-industrial complex. | |||
