Which code does this activity belong in?
National Security comprises government establishments of the Armed Forces, including the National Guard, that carry out national security and related activities. The distinction from International Affairs lies in the domestic and territorial focus of armed forces operations; establishments primarily engaged in managing foreign relations, diplomatic activities, and international government operations are classified in International Affairs instead.
