Navy (the

2. The
NPN is always permitted, consistent with adopted regional defense and diplomatic policies, to deploy under the following circumstances:
- a. To counter or preemptively stop:
- i) A direct threat to the North Pacific;
- ii) A direct threat to a North Pacifican ally;
- b. To assist a region or organization as permitted by the delegate, an existing treaty, or the Minister for Defence;
- c. Upon the orders of the appointed Minister of Defense or a person thus delegated to act in their name; and
- d. The Regional Assembly may mandate that the NPN follow through on a declaration of war or a policy approved by the Regional Assembly.
