=== The Heboi Conflict ===
==
The Sovereign of the High Kingdoms of Alaxia is the head of the armed forces. However, constitutional convention and royal prerogative enables the president to have de facto executive authority as the President is the representative of the monarchy and herald of the monarch. The President makes key decisions on behalf of the Sovereign with approval from the cabinet. Certain decisions such as those concerning budget is ultimately put forth by the Secretary of Defense and approved by the Premier and the House of Representatives. The Sovereign retains the ability to revoke or rescind decisions made by the President or government. Such scenarios are rare but not unheard of with major political and social ramifications. Usually, such decisions are made to prevent unconstitutional use of the Armed Forces.
The Ministry of Defense oversees defense policy and budget. It also coordinates between the various services and acts as the civilian oversight for the military. The Chief Secretary of Defense is the principle administrator of the Ministry, further assisted by the Secretary of Defense for Armed Forces, Secretary of Defense for Defense Procurement, Secretary of Defense for Veterans' Affairs and the Secretary of Defense for Military Relations. The services (Army, Navy, Air Force and National Guard) oversee the organisation, training and equipping its forces, actual operational authority and responsibility of management lies under the Royal Chief of Staff Committee and the Grand Defense Council of the Union as well as the four service boards.
==== The Grand Defense Council of the Union ====
The supreme governing body of the High Kingdoms Armed Forces, the Grand Defense Council of the Union (GDCU) is composed of senior representatives from the various services and the ministry of defense. It is chaired by the Secretary of Defense who is the general administrator of all 'affairs of defense' with the High Kingdoms of Alaxia. It derives it's powers through delegation from the President. It has command and control authority over the armed forces and provides an equal platform between the government and the military.
Until 2471, the GDCU did not contain the heads of the four services. However, with the 'Powers Act' of 2471, this changed. The GDCU now contained the heads of the four service boards while a seperate Defense Management Board was established as a wing of the GDCU that had contained the heads of the Armed Forces along with Civil Service and Ministry of Defense representatives. This Board was response for the full range of Defense Business rather than operational conduct.
==== The Royal Chief of Staff Committee ====
The senior-most body within the military, the Royal Chief of Staff Committee (RCSC) is a continuation of the Kiavalari service of the same name. It is composed of the most senior military personnel in the HIgh Kingdoms Armed Forces who advise on and coordinate military affairs. It is headed by the Chief of Defense Staff, styled as the Lord Highmarshal. It is the most senior rank in all of armed forces and held by a senior officer within the High Kingdoms Armed Forces. It also contains:
* Vice-Chief of Defense Staff, styled the Lord Marshal
* Chief of the Naval Staff, styled Lord Seamarshal
* Chief of the Army Staff, styled Lord Grandmarshal
* Chief of the Air Staff, styled Lord Airmarshal
* Chief of the National Guard, styled Lord Custodian
Both the Chief and Vice-Chief of Defense Staff retroactively act as the commander and coordinator of all Strategic Command, thereby controlling the joint capabilities of the four services.
