The decree mandated the Sahrawi People's Liberation Army Staff Command to take all measures and procedures related to implementing the provisions of this decree within the competence entrusted to it, it also mandated the National Security Authority, chaired by the Prime Minister, to take measures and procedures related to implementing the requirements of the state of war with regard to the management and administration of national institutions and bodies and ensuring the regularity of services.
