Admiralty

The Admiralty is the entity that leads the military of the South Pacific. It consists of the Prime Minister or their appointed designee and up to three Admirals.

The role of the Admirals is set out in the Military Code. They are responsible for planning and overseeing all missions of the military, managing applications and promotions, and handling disciplinary actions.
