The **.mil.ng** extension is the most restricted Second-Level Domain in Nigeria. Unlike academic domains, it is not managed by the Ministry of Education, but falls under the high-security requirements of the **Nigerian Armed Forces**.

Here is the refined requirement text for **.mil.ng**, following the same structure you used for schools:

## Requirements for .mil.ng Registration:

The **.mil.ng** SLD is a **highly restricted** closed domain **reserved ONLY** for the Nigerian Military (Army, Navy, and Air Force) and related establishments under the Ministry of Defence.

Registrations for .mil.ng are strictly at the **Third-Level Domain (3LD)** level (e.g., `army.mil.ng`). All constituent units, formations, commands, or directorates must operate as **subdomains** (e.g., `records.army.mil.ng`) rather than independent domain names.

To register a .mil.ng domain, you must submit the following:

1. **Letter of Authorization:** A scanned copy of a formal authorization letter on the official letterhead of the military institution, addressed to the **COO of the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NiRA)**. The letter must:

   - Explicitly name **ruachost.ng** as the authorized registrar.
   - Include our nameservers for the configuration.
   - Appoint an officer or authorized personnel to manage the domain.
2. **Verification of Identity:** NiRA often requires a copy of the official ID or appointment letter of the authorized personnel to confirm they have the mandate to act on behalf of the military unit.
3. **Contact Details:** The letter must provide the following for both Technical and Admin contacts:

### Technical Contact Details

- ### Name
- ### Rank/Position
- ### Telephone
- ### Email

### Admin Contact Details

- ### Name
- ### Rank/Position
- ### Telephone
- ### Email
