History

List of Diplomatic Corps Staff

Foreign Ministers

The head of the Diplomatic Corps, the Foreign Minister, works directly for the Home Secretary, who is a Junior Vice President on the TRMN Board of Directors, also known as the Royal Council. Due to the shared interests of SIS and the Diplomatic Corps, the Foreign Minister works closely with their head: the Director of Intelligence .

The Foreign Minister oversees the chapters of the members of the Diplomatic Corps; the Diplomatic Corps is shown as Civilian (DIP) in the MEDUSA database. The Foreign Minister uses BuPers' MEDUSA records to track the Civilian Diplomatic members. In addition to this, they maintain contact using the TRMN Forums, official Discord servers, and email so that they can be accessible to the membership.
