A branch, alternatively referred to as a service or a service branch, is one of the major components of The Royal Manticoran Navy: The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association, Inc. (TRMN).
Each branch is named and patterned after a military service, civilian uniformed service, or non-uniformed civilian organization belonging to the Grand Alliance in the Honorverse canon.
Each member of TRMN selects which branch they wish to belong to, and may change their branch as they wish.
