DTS Program

The DTS Program, officially the Defense Training Services Program, is a social service program proposed by Fleet Admiral Kurama. It involves the act of sending of significant rank and skill to various nations that are allied with the  and providing military training to strengthen their local police and militia forces. This is particularly crucial for many nations in areas lacking dense Marine presence, such as the quiet waters of, while also being helpful toward nations on the that are constantly in a state of chaos and vulnerable to piracy. It was started with the public intention of further strengthening the bonds between the allied nations, renewing their faith in the World Government, while also forcing the factions to back down from attempting to liberate those nations by taking the initiative to better their conditions themselves. In actuality, however, Kurama viewed this as a way of garnering favor with the people by having them putting their trust more so with the Marines than the World Government as a whole; considering it to be a stepping stone for his eventual take-over of the government.
