The Ministry of Defense is the largest governmental organization, emcompassing all elements of domestic and global defense and operations, including nuclear weapons and clandestine operations.

Structure

The Ministry of Defense is separated into three major Deputy Ministries and the Joint Command Staff, which houses the three branches of the Icarisian Armed Forces.

Minister of Defense

Heads the MoD. Stephen Perry served as the Acting Minister of Defense from 2072-2073 upon the absence of Mikhail Travnikov; however, Travnikov was not officially dismissed and therefore Perry does not appear on records as an official office-holder.
