Research Office (G.A.R.)

The Research Office of the Grand Army of the Republic was the scientific wing of the American G.A.R. during the age of the Republican Union and the ensuing New United States of America. It was responsible for coordinating with the Finance Office to allot necessary spending on researching new weapons, equipment, vehicles, and medical treatment. It also infamously housed the "Black Book" of the G.A.R., an unknown amount of money approved directly by the American President and the Supreme Marshal to spend on nefarious and often insane research. 
The Research Office was headed by the Chief Research Officer and the Deputy Research Officer. It contained the Army Science Unit (ASU), responsible for day-to-day research and R&D, the Army Medical Unit (AMU), responsible for medical care in military hospitals, clinics, and retirement homes, as well as the training of combat medics, the Army Chemical Command (ACC), responsible for the creation and stockpiling of chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction, and the shadowy Army Ritual and Ecclesiastical Unit (AREU), which not only trained and oversaw battlefield chaplains but also attempted to use occult means to create or unleash devastation on America's enemies.
