As we have seen, the SPSF can run itself without a Minister of Defense. The General Corps is full of perfectly capable people who are perfectly capable of running things on their own. And, in general, the politicization of the regional military is a bad idea. Not like the MoD ever did anything anyways, but still.
(Section 6)
## Minister of Defense
(13) The Minister of Defense will be the civilian leader of the armed forces of the Coalition, the South Pacific Special Forces. In conjunction with a group of Generals, the Minister of Defense will be responsible for the defense of the Coalition, building military activity, and conducting military operations.
(14) The Minister of Defense may elect to establish an intelligence office, in equal coordination with the Council on Regional Security.
Executive Authorities
(153) The executive may exercise the collective authority of executive orders, by unanimous consent among the Prime Minister and Cabinet ministers. Executive orders may only be issued to address an immediate and pressing issue created by ambiguity or holes in a particular law, which will immediately have the effect of law.
(164) Upon declaring an executive order, the order will be presented automatically to the Assembly for three days of debate, followed by a vote according to legislative rules, where it will expire and its effects shall be reversed if the Assembly does not incorporate it into law.

(4) The Minister of Defense will coordinate with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, to ensure that no military activities harm the governmentâs diplomatic affairs or public relations.
Thereâs probably some other reference to the MoD somewhere that I have missed. If I have, let me know and Iâll add it here. This is a pretty straightforward removal of a ministry.
