However, they are allowed to participate in an assault if engaged in combat, if another's life is threatened, or if the Crystallizing Unit needs more assistance.
Special Armed Forces — A team of soldiers specially trained to adapt, battle, carry out plans, rescue soldiers or specific individuals, and abduct or capture enemies.

Military Government Sectors —
Humanistic Sector — A sector that looks into military applications and background information of individuals, determining who to interview, test, employ, or skip. They screen them and assign them their positions, if accepted.

When it turns out to be true, which they will also determine, they will decide on a suitable punishment; even scolding or lectures can be considered punishment. They look into transfer requests as well. It is vital that all people in this sector are unbiased, objective, logical, and thorough.
Scholar & Library Sector — A group of scholars that control the library on military bases, camps, and campuses. They are usually soldiers trained to defend themselves, property, and possessions against attacks of all kinds. The group is also trained to record minor and major battles and wars that took place in the Kingdom of Crystal, as long as the military is involved. Some scholars are certified counselors as well, and as such, will provide therapy to soldiers in need.
