The Royal Isselmere-Nieland Gendarmerie (RING) is a gendarmerie or military service that in peacetime operates as a conventional police force within the United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland. In peacetime, the administration of the RING falls to the authority of the Minister of the Interior and his or her minister of State for Public Safety. The Secretary of State for the Gendarmerie, more precisely known as the Inspector-General of Police, is the civilian head of the service, comparable to the secretaries of State of the other three armed services. During times of war, the RING becomes a de facto as well as de jure military service within the United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland Defence Forces (UKINDF).
Contents
Function
As well as its function as the joint service armed forces police force, the RING performs frontier and port security, counter-insurgency operations, rural policing, and guarding central government buildings and offices, including royal palaces and Isselmere-Nielander embassies throughout the world. The RING is also tasked with training paramilitary forces and acting as a stay-behind force in case of enemy attack, although this part of its mission is rarely, if ever, discussed.
Statutes and statutory instruments precisely delineate the police function of the RING, ensuring the Gendarmerie does not overstep its authority.
Rank structure
The rank structure of the RING closely follows that of civilian police forces, much to the consternation of members of the other branches of the armed forces. The Director-General of the Royal Gendarmerie is, however, subordinate to the Chief of Defence Staff during wartime and for protocol purposes in peacetime. With the other exception being the rank of Chief Constable, which has the same seniority as other OF-10a ranks, the RING rank is considered senior to comparable military ranks.
