The Hellenic Ministry of Defence (HMOD) (https://www.dideap.mil.gr/) applies the Government’s National Defence Policy. HMOD implements interventions focusing on the facilitation of the interaction with citizens like the digitalization of recruitment archives and services, the generation of digital charts and weather reports, and also incorporates departments and units that address social issues like public protection, crisis management, search and rescue (SAR) operations, humanitarian aid, and social and environmental research. Therefore, HMOD today incarnates a very important social role in everyday life of Greek citizens and people. HMOD is a public authority - as of the latest act of Presidential Decree 35/1995- primarily involved in the execution of the maritime surveillance, control and protection functions at national and/or regional level related to defence, while contributing with its personnel and assets in additional tasks, related to accident and disaster response, search and rescue, cyber security etc.
