The Specific Importance of the State-elected Marshal-at-Arms Office

 Although The Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) does not currently assist with the Evaluation, Education, or Coordination aspects of the office development for Marshal-at-Arms, we absolutely rely on the existence of this noble service within each American State Assembly.


Without the operational exercise of this internal peacekeeping role within each Jural and General Assembly, PKTF services become severely limited in assisting the Assembly as a whole! Without a state-elected (even interim) Marshal-at-Arms any American State Assembly struggles against potential hemorrhaging of numerous vital safeguards each Assembly deserves.

For example, PKTF relies intently on the successful implementation of State Marshal-at-Arms services during operations from the lawful expansion of each State Assembly Militia Pillar.


Through this necessary expansion, the following peacemakers and peacekeepers result:

Each County Reeve (Sheriff) and their resulting deputies originate within the Assembly Militia. Likewise, the Senior and Postal Service Area Chief Continental Marshals and their Postal Chief Deputy along with each separate State Chief Continental Marshal and their resulting County Deputies. And last, but certainly not least we have the honorable, brave, and ever vigilant State Border County Defense Citizenry and their Militia Community Service Supply and Support Apparatus through their Assembly Leadership.


All these vital peacekeeping functions can only take shape properly when the express service operation of the State-elected Marshal-at-Arms is present and accounted for at the State level.

American Land, Soil, and Sea peacekeepers, however, would ideally not have a circular border around any star, but rather an open border denoting sovereign State power to uphold lawful, peaceful obligations.



And so, if your State Assembly is currently without an interim (or elected) Marshal-at-Arms and your current State Coordinator is unable to serve temporarily in this capacity (while also serving as a volunteer State Coordinator), then PKTF needs your help.

Our 50 American State Assemblies have enjoyed a nationwide network training and neutral collaborative affiliation meeting twice monthly for all interested State Assemblies seeking general training and networking opportunities. All are welcome to join in on the training who reach out and express an interest. If your current State Coordinator is not yet aware of this opportunity, please have them reach out to our office at their earliest convenience for more details.

However, if you are interested in the role yourself, simply inform your General Assembly of your general interest all on your own. You are not expected to need State Coordinator approval to attend general training opportunities if they are available, and that your own schedule will allow.



Please note:

Anyone interested in this vital training and affiliate networking opportunities as a State-elected (or interim) Marshal-at-Arms does not need initial approval by a State Coordinator before joining in on the training meetings. All that is needed for those American people to join is a genuine desire to learn and consider the office as it is being offered, and a genuine need at the State or County level to serve as part of its internal Assembly peacekeeper.

All this and more are waiting to be built upon by those State Assemblies that might be struggling needlessly to properly expand and protect your respective Assemblies. Without internal peacekeepers such as Marshal-at-Arms, your Assemblies simply cannot naturally grow.


Please be cautious:

If therein exists within your Assemblies any notion to forego the office of elected (or interim) Marshal-at-Arms, then it is reasonable to deduce that your Assembly might be suffering from some level of infiltration tendency (be-it notional or otherwise).


If your Assembly is without a Marshal-at-Arms, and you would like more immediate information, please contact our office by utilizing the Contact Form at the bottom-right of this blog for express details. Our PKTF Staff will assist in getting you in contact with those responsible for conducting general training and nationwide networking schedules and invitations.

The Most Effective Means For Conflict Resolution

 The evening was felt less comforting than it would have been as the sun went over the crystal blue, cloudless horizon for me yesterday.


It was myself, along with a complete roster of The Continental Marshals invited to a special meeting for a particular growing American State Assembly to the south. I must say this meeting was quite unique! However, regardless of the rarity of those having attended, the theme of the cause for the meeting itself was the familiar "Conflict Resolution" issue.


And, I must also say these particular conflicts are largely - similarly internal by nature of the details, and are (almost entirely) the same relative conflict details my team and I have witnessed other Assemblies struggle through, and who have now also arrived at the other end with impressive perseverance!





The genre continues to be an all-too familiar selection among the people. The theme of the scenario is also well known. The stage has been set. The only differences in this occasion, though are the simply location of the altercation and the people involved are - themselves fairly new to the scene.



The remedy, however, for the repeat occurrence of train wreck type drama scenarios is (and will always appear to be) a proper and complete internal conflict cooperative resolution asset service.



A possible abstract depiction of a State-elected Marshal-at-Arms and State Assembly-appointed Ombudsman Service 



If only for the fact that the Federation of States thought it best to have both The Continental Marshals Service and The Peacekeeping Task Force in special attendance to offer help by sharing joint perspectives on the issues - was, indeed an interesting, and uniquely productive opportunity!


This particular Assembly has reported to have been grappling with such issues for a significant amount of time already (perhaps for well over a year). And, although those currently serving within the Assembly does appear to be active and eager to grow their Assembly, they currently lack one or two elements built to help restore harmony amongst mounting issues.



Please meet:

  • The State-elected Marshal-at-Arms 

&

  • The State Assembly-appointed Ombudsman Service


Without both these service providers; one State-elected to maintain singular loyalty to the State Assembly organization itself.

...and the other (a separate and impartial organization) an Assembly-appointed role built to offer an exclusive environment by effectively intercepting bonified grievances to a proper setting - thereby shielding the General Assembly meeting floor from excess internal issues.


And, of course, this then sets the entire service journey of Conflict Resolution into a very impressive productive motion!

Needless to say, without both internal peacekeepers working in correct tandem to deal with real, or perceived conflict, then this (as well as any other government service structure) will falter, become stagnant, grow bitter towards serving members, accuse others, one to another frequently for any negative progress, and so on.

Regardless of the scenario. Regardless of the Assembly. Regardless of the genuine honesty of the people and caliber of their Citizenry. Without an existing, balanced team of internal Assembly peacemakers geared around providing Conflict Resolution will always - always struggle unnecessarily!



To all other American State Assemblies currently without:

Please consider placing immediate focus on the service role of State-elected Marshal-at-Arms Assembly-appointed Ombudsman Service.

If there be a learning curve for either, or both service roles, then this is another fine opportunity to exercise self-governance by seeking knowledge and comprehension on how these two service measures work together providing excellent results of resolving most all internal conflicts.

We encourage reaching out to other industry leaders, other successful State Assemblies, as well as the annals of history to find valuable information on how these two Assembly peacemakers work together, and how they are designed to function as a most cohesive unit.
