Office of the Quartermaster
Lord of war.
The Department of the Tactical Operations' Quartermaster oversees the vast majority of tactical and heavy assets assigned to the LSF, and is in large part responsible for their maintenance and upkeep. Likewise, the Office of the Quartermaster is thus responsible for their assignment to agents in the field and reviewing those agents' responsible usage of advanced craft, in tandem with the Directorate. Field agents seeking to use the more advanced technologies in play by the LSF, no matter their department or position, inevitably find themselves before the guiding hand of the Quartermaster.
Heavy Assets
Heavy assets are typically assigned to captainship by the Directorate itself rather than requested by individual agents, but there is precedent in the past for their assignment via the Quartermaster to particularly stellar individuals within the ranks of the Agency. Currently deployed and available heavy assets are listed by weight class below.

Tactical Assets
Tactical assets are the mainstay of the Quartermaster's inventory and, likewise, operational craft for the Liberty Security Force. Only the largest of tactical assets, Defiant-class gunboats or their equivalents, are listed and tracked here, as well as any lend-lease equipment from the Security Force's allies in Bretonia or perhaps other, less savory sources.

Equipment
As with tactical assets, the Quartermaster and the Agency at large gives field agents a broad brush with which to equip their craft to their particular mission, and as such is only interested in tracking high-risk, experimental, limited availability, or lend-lease equipment and negotiating its release to particular agents. Such equipment is listed below.
Type | Qty. | Name | Description | Status | Assignment |
WPN | 1 | HEDGEHOG | MIRV-delivered anti-snubcraft EMP munition | Testing | Chesapeake RDA |
WPN | 4 | PHOENIX | Anti-snubcraft laser-based CIWS | In Service | Heavy Asset FREEDOM |
WPN | ∞ | LIBERTY MUNITIONS | Detroit-manufactured line of spacecraft weaponry | Available |
Requisition
Agents are free to requisition any asset in the above listings that is listed as 'Available' or otherwise unassigned, at the permission of the Quartermaster or the Directorate. The traditional method of requisition involves directing the following form to the Office of the Quartermaster on this assigned frequency.
