His Majesty's War Office is the department of the Erbonian Government responsible for the administration and implementation of the Government defence and military policy. It is under the control of the Secretary of State for War, and operates in conjunction with the Royal Army and Navy Royal, and their respective commanders. It also governs the King's Cadet Corps.
The War Office takes a proactive role in defensive and offensive military actions on behalf of Great Nortend, rather than the primarily civil duties undertaken by the police constabularies and fire brigades. The distinction is blurred somewhat, however, by the numerous civil duties members of the military also undertake. Though there are no foreseeable armed military conflicts in the immediate region, the War Office regularly coordinates humanitarian, peace-keeping and offensive action with other Astyrian forces abroad.
