The Ministry of Defence manages day-to-day running of the defence forces, contingency planning and defence procurement.

History
Posterior to the formation of the defence force, it became clear to politicians and civil servants that greater coordinate between the defence force was needed in-order to reinforce the policies issued. Although an inter-services committee was formed to increase joint coordination between the branches of the defence force, it was not until 3578 was a government department formed to implement, create and enforce defence policies made within the Stortinget. The Ministry of Defence was created to exercise ministerial control and to co-ordinate defence matters.

As the years continued, the Ministry expanded its functions and founded various subordinate departments and services with the aim of increasing the operational effectiveness of the department. Soon, it quickly grew into its functions and became the most secretive government department, holding various national security secrets in the name of national security and the stability of the nation.
