The Osterlicsh Department for Defence (DfD) is a parent organisation for the military branches of the Democratic Republic of Osterlicsh. The organisation in itself is not composed of any operational military units, and consists of administrative offices and the Defence Provost. On the 21st June 1983, the Department for Defence succeeded the Federal Defence Service (Osterlicsh). Through reform, lead by Marschall of DRO Joseph Kroeger, the previously top-heavy approach to organisation was transformed into a branch-lead system. This alleviated pressure on the core organisation and distributed individual decision making to the various branches.
