Line 16:
A nation's military may function as a discrete social [[subculture]], with dedicated infrastructure such as military housing, schools, utilities, [[logistics]], hospitals, legal services, food production, finance, and banking services. Beyond warfare, the military may be employed in additional sanctioned and non-sanctioned functions within the state, including internal security threats, [[crowd control]], promotion of [[political agenda]]s, [[emergency service]]s and reconstruction, protecting [[corporate]] economic interests, social ceremonies and national honour guards.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Jordan |first1=David |last2=Kiras |first2=James D. |last3=Lonsdale |first3=David J. |last4=Speller |first4=Ian |last5=Tuck |first5=Christopher |last6=Walton |first6=C.
