Sphinx Forestry Commission

The Sphinx Forestry Commission (abbrev. SFC) is one of the three uniformed civilian branches of The Royal Manticoran Navy: The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association, Inc. (TRMN). The SFC is the component devoted to youth members, and adult SFC members provide leadership for the youth members.

The Sphinx Forestry Commission (SFC) is a uniformed civilian branch of The Royal Manticoran Navy: The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association, Inc. This component is for all youth and any adult who like the Honor Harrington Universe and are involved in the TRMN.

Originally created in 2012-13, the SFC was focused on the youth of the organization, to provide a foundation for the youth to prepare them for the other branches. At the time of its creation, the only adults in the SFC were those directly involved with working with the youth.

Now the SFC has broadened its doors to welcome not only the youth, but any adult who wishes to serve in the Sphinx Forestry Commission. On the planet Sphinx the rangers serve in much the same capacity as our today forest rangers and land management commission. If you like animals and nature, then the SFC is the place for you. Have you been adopted by a treecat? We can help you get acclimated to having a new companion.

The head of the SFC is the Commissioner.

Current Commissioner Commissioner Lieutenant General Dame Jill M. Taylor, KDE, OGL, CM, CGM, SFC

Cadet Ranger ranks

In TRMN, a Youth Member is defined as any member 17 or younger. All Youth Members are automatically placed in the Sphinx Forestry Commission in one of four Cadet Ranger Ranks based on age (see the Board of Directors' Youth Policy HERE).

• Provisional Ranger I: 5 to 9 years
• Provisional Ranger II: 9 to 13 years
• Provisional Ranger III: 13 to 16 years
• Senior Provisional Ranger: 16 to 18 years

At 16 years of age, the Youth member has an option to either remain with the Sphinx Forestry Commission as a Senior Cadet Ranger, or transfer to another branch of TRMN as a Midship/Cadet/Kadett/Intern (see the Board of Directors' Youth Policy HERE).

Honorverse

In the Honorverse canon, the Sphinx Forestry Commission is the Manticoran agency responsible for overseeing and protecting the natural flora and fauna of the planet Sphinx, especially treecats.

Sphinx Forestry Service

*main article: Sphinx Forestry Service
In canon the organization was called the Sphinx Forestry Service (abbrev. SFS) in its early days before human contact with treecats. TRMN uses the term SFS to refer to the Academy for the SFC, adults who administer the online exams available to youth members.

Awards

There are a number of awards unique to the SFC. See: Sphinx Forestry Commission Awards
