The MoW is the major tenant of Citadel of Vigilance, and has eight main components—the Ministries of the Imperial Guard, Imperial Army, Imperial Navy, Imperial Marines, Imperial Police, Imperial Planetary Guard, Imperial Space Guard, and Imperial Fighter Force.

Organization
The Citadel of Vigilance is headquarters to the Drakon Imperium Ministry of War.

The Ministry includes the Imperial Guard, Imperial Army, Imperial Navy, Imperial Marines, Imperial Police, Imperial Planetary Guard, Imperial Space Guard, and Imperial Fighter Force, as well as non-combat agencies such as the Imperial Security Agency and the Imperial War Intelligence Agency.

Civilian control over matters other than operations is exercised through the eight service Ministries, the Ministries of the Imperial Guard, Imperial Army, Imperial Navy, Imperial Marines, Imperial Police, Imperial Planetary Guard, Imperial Space Guard, and Imperial Fighter Force. Each is led by a service minister, who are below Imperial Cabinet rank. In wartime, the Ministry of War has authority over the Imperial Space Guard; in peacetime, that agency is under the control of the Ministry of Defense (MoD).

Command Structure
The chain of command runs from the Imperator of the Drakon Imperium, through the minister of War, to the combatant commanders (COCOM) who command all military forces within their area of responsibility. The First Minister of the Military Council and the service Chiefs are responsible for readiness of the D.I. military and serve as the Imperator's military advisers, but are not in the chain of command. First Minister of the Military Council is by law the highest ranking military officer in the Drakon Imperium. Each service is responsible for organizing, training and equipping military units for the commanders of the various Unified Combatant Commands.

Unified Combatant Commands
There are 15 Unified Combatant Commands; eleven regional and four functional.
