United Nations Maritime Force
The United Nations Maritime Force (UNMF) is the maritime subsidiary force of the United Nations Security Force.
Institutional role
The UNMF is the Security Force component responsible for the maritime domain. It retains its own professional identity, recruiting, training, doctrine, qualification, and maritime expertise while operating beneath unified Security Force command.
Relationship with national coast guards
The Maritime Force and national coast guards are deliberately different institutions. The UNMF holds the common United Nations military responsibility at sea. National coast guards may continue as domestic-security, law-enforcement, and rescue organizations within the limits established by national and international law.
Personnel and assets
Personnel join the United Nations directly rather than as intact national contingents. Maritime assets are accepted according to United Nations requirements, condition, compatibility, and service need; contribution does not create a national command share.
Spoiler context
Spoiler alert — events through The Mine
The UNMF is created in Chapter Twenty-Five as one of the three subsidiary forces of the new United Nations Security Force. The structure takes effect on January 1, 2045.
During the 2045 transition, some former national naval personnel and assets enter UNMF service while others are retired, demilitarized, or converted to lawful domestic-security roles. The distinction between the UNMF and retained national coast guards becomes one of the clearest examples of the new constitutional boundary between common military authority and national public safety.
