Syldavia has a strong tradition of civilian control of the military. The President is the overall head of the military, and helps form military policy but the Syldavian Ministry of Defense (MoD), a federal executive department, is the principal organ by which military policy is carried out. The MoD is headed by the Minister of Defense, who is a civilian and a member of the National Assembly, who also serves as the President's second-in-command of the military. To coordinate military action with diplomacy, the President has an advisory National Security Council headed by a National Security Advisor. Both the President and Minister of Defense are advised by a six-member Joint Chiefs of Staff, which includes the head of each of Ministry of Defense service branches, led by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Commandant of the Coast Guard is not a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
