Originally the Department of National Defense was the Ministry of Defense, which was replaced on 14 September 2020. The reason for a rebranding came from the First President Ethan Brinkman who wanted to change the image of the department following the actions of the Minister of Defense in 2019.
The role of Senior Chairman is created to be for a civilian however due to a lack of civilians and the reliability of enlisted officers in the Arstotzkan Federal Government, the role is currently held by Lieutenant General Zion Ormsby
