Editing Department of Homeland Security (Sanctaria) (section)

==Organisation==
The Department of Homeland Security is headed by the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, also known as the Secretary for Homeland Security. The Secretary is aided by the senior civil servant in charge of the department, the Director-General. The Department itself is then split into various divisions or directorates, with each division headed by other senior civil servants, Directors, who report to both the Director-General and the Secretary of State. This is mirrored in all other government departments, with the only political staff being the Secretary themselves, or any other politician appointed to aide them. Civil servants throughout the department report to their superiors, who eventually report to the Director-General, who is then answerable to the Secretary. The Secretary in turn reports back to the [[Government of Sanctaria|Cabinet]] and, indeed, the [[Sanctarian Federal Parliament|Parliament]].

The [[Sanctarian Defence Forces]] are led by a [[Chief of Staff of the Sanctarian Defence Forces|Chief of Staff]] who reports to the Secretary directly. Directly subordinate to the Chief of Staff are the heads of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coastguard.

The [[Sanctarian Intelligence Service]] formed a part of the Department of Homeland Security between 2015 and 2022, but was latterly moved back to the Department of Foreign Affairs upon the establishment of the [[Federal Intelligence Agency]] in 2022. The [[Director of the Federal Intelligence Agency|Director of the FIA]] also reports directly to the Secretary for Homeland Security, however, bypassing the Director-General of the department.
