The '''[[Royal Officer Corps]]''' was a proposed military organization in [[Westarctica]]. Although plans were made for the creation of the unit, it was never actually formed as a fighting force. In 2005, [[Grand Duke Travis]] was urged to create a military unit by numerous members of the [[Grand Ducal Cabinet]] and the [[Baronage]], including the [[Baron of Havola]], who pleaded with the Grand Duke that there was an urgent need for a functioning military (even if it was only a small one). The creation of the [[Minister of Defense]] was phase one of the establishment of Westarctica's military, and the office was given to [[Duke of Waesche|Wolf Tulier]], a citizen of Westarctica since 2003.
The '''[[Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station]]''' is a United States scientific research station at the [[South Pole]], the southernmost place on the Earth. The station is located on the high plateau of [[Antarctica]] at an elevation of 2,835 meters (9,301 feet) above sea level and is administered by the Division of Polar Programs within the National Science Foundation under the United States Antarctic Program (USAP).


As Minister of Defense, Wolf Tulier also served as the head of the Royal Officer Corps, utilizing his experience as a soldier in the U.S. Army to guide his leadership of the Corps. Shortly following the creation of the office, Wolf appointed the former Baronet of [[Brandenberger Bluff|Brandenberger]], [[Baron of Lee-Tearmunn|Troy Thompson]], as Deputy Minister of Defense to assist him in getting Westarctica’s military into marching order. Although the Ministry of Defense planned to host training camps for prospective members, the Royal Officer Corps gradually became a footnote in Westarctica's history. In 2017, their function was replaced by the [[Westarctican Royal Guards]].
