Template:Branch-Ministry The Ministry of Defence is a government department devoted to the management and administration of the Royal Hapan Armed Forces. It bridges the gap between the Royal Hapan Government and the Armed Forces, being subordinate to the Sovereign, yet superior to the individual branch commanders. Traditionally a Ministry of Defence has been established in periods where the Royal Hapan Armed Forces have entered stable periods of firm leadership of direction as a means to help with organisation and management.
