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 '''[[San Joaquin kit fox]]''' is the smallest member of the dog family in North America and one of several endangered species that lives within the borders of the [[Colony of Calsahara]]. In 1990, its population was estimated to be 7,000. This subspecies is still endangered, after nearly 50 years of being on the Endangered Species List. Today, much of the kit fox's remaining habitat is extremely fragmented, movement corridors are degraded or blocked, and only a few large areas of native grasslands remain on the San Joaquin Valley's perimeter in the [[Carrizo Plain]].


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]].

The San Joaquin kit fox is the smallest member of the dog family in North America and one of several endangered species that lives within the borders of the Colony of Calsahara. In 1990, its population was estimated to be 7,000. This subspecies is still endangered, after nearly 50 years of being on the Endangered Species List. Today, much of the kit fox's remaining habitat is extremely fragmented, movement corridors are degraded or blocked, and only a few large areas of native grasslands remain on the San Joaquin Valley's perimeter in the Carrizo Plain.
