OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE |
ENCRYPTED MESSAGE |
TO: Bernard Bot, Minister of Foreign Affairs ( Dutchy )
FROM: Jackson Fitzgerald, Secretary of State of the United States of America
Minister Bot,
In response to recent global events, the State Department has decided to formally organize security at American diplomatic missions around the world. It is a matter of federal law that we ensure the security of our missions around the world, and a right enshrined in international law for us to do so.
Traditionally, American diplomatic missions have been guarded by U.S. Marines and Diplomatic Security Service agents from the State Department. Marines always remain at the embassy, while DSS agents also provide security for the ambassador wherever he or she goes. I would like to formalize the amount of security and staff we have at our mission in The Hague (please see below). Once you approve these security measures, we will deploy the Marines and DSS agents. Please note that the only weaponry located at our embassy or ambassador's residence will be: small arms, rifles, tear gas, and stun grenades - this is standard for all American embassies around the world.
Embassy
Address: Lange Voorhout 102, The Hague
Marines: 13
DSS Agents: 15
Staff: 110
Ambassador's Residence
Address: Tobias Asserlaan 4, The Hague
DSS Agents: 10
Staff: 20
Best regards,
Jackson Fitzgerald
Secretary of State
