Revolutionizing Defense: Sharifian Republic Passes Historic Military Reform Act

Dated: 29th February, 2092

In a momentous occasion for the Sharifian Republic, the "Military Structural Reform 2092 Act" has been overwhelmingly passed by both the Senate and the House of Deputies. This landmark legislation ushers in sweeping changes to the organization and command structure of the Armed Forces of the Sharifian Republic (AFSR), marking a significant departure from the previous "Arms Independent Act."

Under the visionary leadership of the Ministry of Defense (MOD) and with the resounding support of military experts, this reform is poised to usher in a new era of efficiency, clarity, and effectiveness within the AFSR.

Background: A Need for Reform

The preceding "Arms Independent Act" introduced several noteworthy changes, including the separation of the Organization of Sharifian Intelligence Networks (OSIN) from the official armed forces branches and its placement directly under the MOD. Additionally, this act saw the dissolution of the Hashemites National Auxiliary Corps (HNAC), replaced by the Hashemite Strategic Missile Command (HSMC) and the Hashemite Defense and Security Force (HDSF). While these changes were undoubtedly significant, they also introduced challenges in terms of command structure and jurisdiction, particularly within the HDSF, encompassing diverse units such as the National Guard, Coast Guard, Space Force, and Military Police.

The New Order: Military Structural Reform 2092 Act

Under the visionary and strategic guidance of the MOD, the Military Structural Reform 2092 Act introduces a comprehensive set of changes aimed at modernizing and streamlining the AFSR. The previous structure of six branches will evolve into a more coherent and efficient arrangement, reflecting the evolving needs of the Sharifian Republic and the international security landscape.

Key Changes under the Act:

1. Streamlined Command Structure: The Hashemite Defense and Security Force (HDSF) will be dissolved, and its various commands will be restructured and placed under different branches to ensure clarity of command and jurisdiction. The National Guard will fall under the Hashemite Sharifian Army (HSA), the Coast Guard under the Hashemite Sharifian Navy (HSN), and the Air Guard and Space Force under the newly renamed Hashemite Sharifian Aerospace Forces (HSAF).
2. Transformation of Air Force: The Hashemite Sharifian Air Force (HSAF) will undergo a significant transformation, becoming the Hashemite Sharifian Aerospace Forces (HSAF) with the inclusion of the Space Force previously under HDSF.
3. New Branches: Two new branches will be established to enhance the AFSR's capabilities:
   1. Hashemite Sharifian Marine Corps (HSMC): A dedicated branch to bolster maritime operations and defense. In addition to Marines and Marine Special Forces, the Jungle Warfare Divisions will also be transferred under HSMC Command.
   2. Hashemite Airborne Forces (HAF): A specialized force designed for rapid deployment and airborne operations. Airborne Divisions, Air Assault Divisions, and Ranger Divisions will be transferred to HAF command.
4. Strategic Missile Command (SMC): The Hashemite Strategic Missile Command (HSMC) will be renamed Strategic Missile Command (SMC), reflecting its broader role in the nation's strategic defense
5. Repositioning of ISDA: The Integrated Strategic Defense Agency (ISDA), like OSIN, will be shifted under the MOD as an Independent Inter-Service Agency, ensuring seamless coordination across various defense functions.
