Creation and application of PUMA

The Philippine United Military Assembly (Filipino: Kapulungan ng Nagkaisang Militar ng Pilipinas, abbreviated PUMA) is a joint council of all Military Units currently situated within the Philippines whose main purpose is to coordinate the country's military strength when needed. Each MU will have a representative in the assembly, preferably its commander, along with the country's president. Also, the Chinese MU SET-JB has a representative in the assembly because it is composed of Filipinos and Malaysians residing in eChina.

PUMA was first proposed to be formed by Berritas on day 1322 through this campaign article of his and again on Day 1417 through this topic in the forum when he was deputy minister of foreign affairs. When it was proposed, it was supposed to replace the Department of Defense but not everyone agreed so some presidents still have Defense Directors and Deputies, who are then also part of the assembly.
