abstract
| - The Imperial Council of National Defense (ICND) (In Hellenic:Συμβούλιο Εθνικής Άμυνας) is the highest is a consultative body of the Basileus that works out the Basileus decisions on national security affairs. Composed of key ministers and agency heads and chaired by the Basileus himself, the ICND was established to be a forum for coordinating and integrating national security policy. The command and control of the Imperial Armed Forces is exercised in name of the Basileus, while its management is supervised by the Government: therefore the Imperial War Council is the forum where the formal imperial military leadership is exercised in conjunction with the Government. However, the Imperial Family retains other formal and informal command channels. Because the composition, the Council is considered the supreme military policy-making body and its Deputy Chairman, appointed by the Basileus, is the Chief of the Imperial General Staff and Executive Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. The Council is housed in the Dimitradis Hall in northern Auronopolis The Supreme War Council is the main instrument through which the Basileus formally acquires detailed knowledge of the government's security and defence policies. More generally, the Council is the forum for discussion and learning for the study of issues relating to security and defense. Imperial Council of National Defense is the dialogue and discussion instrument between those in charge of the political address in the field of national defence: through it, its components can help to define criteria for the better exercise of their powers, hen it comes to the issues of operation plans implementation and the Crises management System implementation, conduction of operations outside the national territory and participation of the Armed Forces in the confrontation of special situations during peace time.
