==History==
{{Main|History of Military Command of the New Pacific Order (Cyber Nations)}}

Military Command is one of the oldest, continuous departments in the Order. At first the department was not as organized and structured as it came to be, the first iteration saw the creation of the War Council and made up of four elected members from the Body Republic.<ref>''[https://npowned.net/forums/topic/3-alliance-structure/ Alliance Structure]'', {{CN|Vladimir}} (January 28, 2006)</ref> The War Council held authority over all war and combat matters.

Following the early wars of the Order the battalion system was instituted following a proposal by {{CN|Koona}}, {{CN|Lord Valentine}} and {{CN|Rysonia}} with input from {{CN|Sei}}. The first four battalions Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta with each being lead by a Lieutenant.<ref>''[https://npowned.net/forums/topic/661-organisational-proposal/ Organisational proposal]'', {{CN|Koona}} (March 3, 2006)</ref>.

By early 2007 Emperor {{CN|TrotskysRevenge}} announced a series of reforms which included abolishing the War Council, and instead folding Military Command into the Imperial System overseen by a Commandant.<ref>''[https://npowned.net/news/cyber-nations/restructure-of-the-npo-r57 Restructure of the NPO]'', {{CN|TrotskysRevenge}} (February 15, 2007)</ref> The rank of Commandant, which was created when {{CN|Dilber}} announced the War Powers Act<ref>''[https://npowned.net/forums/topic/14048-imperial-decree-of-the-new-pacific-order/ Imperial Decree of the New Pacific Order]'', {{CN|Dilber}} (December 29, 2006)</ref> in 2006 naming {{CN|Ivan Moldavi}} to the position, was eventually abolished following a charter amendment proposed by Ivan in 2007.<ref>''[https://npowned.net/forums/topic/27088-a-statement-from-a-member-of-the-order/ A Statement from a member of the Order]'', {{CN|Ivan Moldavi}} (June 12, 2007)</ref> From this point the members of Military Command would report to the Imperial Officer of Military Affairs.

In mid-2007 Military Command was rocked by a mass departure of senior membership, which included Anthony who was expelled by the order of the Emperor.<ref>''[https://npowned.net/forums/topic/30486-expulsion-of-anthony/ Expulsion of Anthony]'', {{CN|TrotskysRevenge}} (July 15, 2007)</ref> At the same time the decision was made to restructure the Military Command into it's more modern form. Many of the "Junior MilCom" positions were abolished, and the system streamlined into NCOs and Battalion Lieutenants who reported up the chain of command. The position of General was created with the appointment of {{CN|SirWilliam}}.<ref>''[https://npowned.net/news/cyber-nations/military-restructuring-r95 Military Restructuring]'', {{CN|TrotskysRevenge}} (July 27, 2007)</ref> The [[Military Intelligence (Cyber Nations)|Military Intelligence]] section of Military Command was split off into its own department.

In early 2008 Military Command saw additional changes to the battalion structure, and the introduction of the High Command rank of Colonel with the appointment of {{CN|Llednar Twem}} and {{CN|DonutTHX1138}} to the position. <ref>''[https://npowned.net/forums/topic/42701-military-restructure Military Restructuring]'', {{CN|Jasmine}} (January 3, 2008)</ref>
