How Melidan structures war fighting plans [[1]]

Melidan, sitting nearly in the center of Hyrule must have contingency plans for a war on two fronts. The Defense Review for 2005 centered around having two plans for a strategic conflict:

Major Theater War: East

Major Theater War: West

At the current time, Melidan's armed forces would be stressed to handle two conflicts at the same time on its east and west frontiers. That is why it is the recommendation of the Department of Defense that Melidan have a "win-hold-win" policy, meaning that DRM forces would win one conflict on one frontier and then switch to its second frontier.

The National Command Authority is the President of Melidan. In a military situation the NCA will issue orders the National Military Command Center and the NMCC will distribute orders to appropiate branches of the military.
