Noting that the military arm of TSP has diminished to the size where it can no longer mount effective operations in any unilateral capacity, and recognising TSP as a region does not advocate adherence to the prevalent philosophies current in gameplay of either raiding, defending or imperialist expansion, it is logical to conclude that the SPSF is no longer a viable organisation for the region to host.

Without numerical capacity and the political support of its host, any Military in a region that has embraced pacifism is at best an anachronism, at worst anathema to our present world view.

As TSP recognises that the right of other regions to conduct their affairs without fear of outside interference, it would be a violation of our own values for units representing the region to engage in hostile invasions of Sovereign regions under any pretext.

Military capacity could be retained in the region to act as a reserve to be called upon to oppose interventions in foreign regions by external aggressors. However, this would firmly place the Region in the Defender camp (according to current definitions)again going against our Zeitgeist 

The retention of any military organisation for the purposes of internal security could possibly be perceived as a heavy handed encroachment on the liberty and democracy of the region given that the CSS is tasked with that aspect already.

The suggestion that is therefore that TSP needs a military to fulfill obligations with our allies and treaty partners. However, if our this is the case I would suggest that these treaties need to be re-examined - it would seem contradictory for us to adopt isolationist pacifiism if we could be forced to violate our own principles of non-interference at the behest of our "friends".
