Looking for OPINIONS, not debate. I am about to make a recruiting drive for the SPSF and from what I'm reading, citizenship is NOT a requirement. This is a good thing as far as I'm concerned since R/D gameplay is really not involved with the forum. I am thinking to recruit with residency as the only requirement. Does the Charter and the CoL need rewriting or are we good. I think we are.


From the charter:
Section 4 - Ministry of the Army
1. The Ministry of the Army will be led by the Minister of the Army.
2. The Ministry is responsible for overseeing the Armed Forces of the Coalition.
3. The Ministry is responsible for the defense of the region.
4. The Ministry is responsible for the creation of an Intelligence Network. The Ministry may appoint individuals to aid in gathering intelligence.

From the Col:

Article 4: South Pacific Special Forces

1. The South Pacific Special Forces, herein referred to as the SPSF, is established as the sole Armed Force within the Coalition of the South Pacific.
2. The SPSF will be led by the Minister of the Army and a panel of three Generals, herein referred to as the General Corps, selected by the Assembly and serving a life term.
3. The Minister of the Army will recommend Citizens to serve in the General Corps upon the passage of this document and in the event of a vacancy. The nominee must be approved by the Assembly, which will recommend replacements if the reject a nomination.
4. The General Corps is responsible for the planning of and overseeing of all missions of the SPSF.
5. The SPSF is to be considered an "independent" Army when it comes to the Raider/Defender Ideology. Being "independent" is to in all matters act in the interest of the Coalition and not be tied down to choosing one ideology.
6. The SPSF will be permitted to carry out offensive, defensive, support, and various types of operations as seen fit by the Minister of the Army.
7. The Minister of the Army and General Corps will be responsible for creating further regulations for the SPSF and presenting them to the Assembly for passage in accordance with normal Assembly policy.
8. The SPSF will be responsible for carrying out all operations relating to a Declaration of War passed by the Assembly. A declaration of war is not inherently necessary for the SPSF to act against a foreign entity and/or organization.


Also not addressed, but will be as the term ends. I was appointed a General, which is a Life appointment. As Minster of the Army, do I retain my general status and we have two open position, or do we have three? To I go back to being a General when my term ends? Just one more thing that when real events happen, there's a hole in the laws and charter.
