[Executive Order Number Three (3)]

  1. Authorised by the Resolution of the Frenzy of the Bovic Empire of the Natopian Nation on the Pacification of the New Territories (1656), the Ministry of Security, and its subordinate agencies, to raise, equip and furnish a force of internal security troops hereafter known as the Natopian Security Forces (NSF).

      • The Bureau of Transportation
      • The Bureau of Assurance
      • The Citizenship Office
      • The Department of District Security and Transportation (Universalis)
      • The Department of Drug Research and Distribution (Universalis)
      • The Universalis Grains Agricultural Plan
    2. Internal Security Troops are, by this order, defined as:
      • Armed personnel used to support and reinforce the Imperial Natopian Constabulary, deal with large-scale crowd control, internal armed conflicts, prison security and the safeguarding of highly-important facilities

  3. The force establishment of the NSF shall be 61,200 personnel grouped into 51 regiments which shall comprise 10 divisions of motorised infantry and 1 aviation support regiment.
  4. The NSF may recruit personnel from the Imperial Natopian Constabulary (INC), former service personnel of the Natopian Defense Force (NDF), and former personnel of the Shirerithian Imperial Forces (SIF), and the Constancian Armed Forces (CAF), provided that they over the age of 17 and under the age of 45, and on the proviso that no record of criminality or misconduct can be attributed to the applicants.
  5. NSF personnel shall use the ranks and uniforms of the INC, save for an identifying brassard bearing the letters "NSF" alongside the division and regiment to which the individual has been assigned.
  6. In the performance of its security and law enforcement duties under this order, the NSF shall have power to conduct inquiries, investigations, surveillance operations, boardings, interceptions, interventions, examinations, inspections, stoppages, interdictions, searches, seizures, to prevent, detect, and suppress violations of the Bassarid partisan actions. It may perform its duties within the jurisdiction of the Bovic Empire without restriction provided that an INC officer is always in attendance to supervise and direct operations and to conduct lawful arrests.
  7. NSF personnel, exercising an official duty under this or any other order shall, with due observance of the provisions of the Caprine Code, intervene in a way that is justifiable in view of the object of the intervention and other circumstances. If the use of force is necessary, the form and level of force used shall be appropriate to that required to achieve the intended result.
  8. Where any serving NSF personnel learns of a criminal offence, they shall inform their nearest INC officer thereof as soon as practicable. The NSF may refrain from reporting an offence if, in view of the circumstances in the specific case, it is of a petty nature and it is obvious that no other sanction than a fine would be imposed on the offender should they be charged with it.
