The Grand Guard, a gendarmerie, and therefore akin to the national guard. However, localized law enforcement do exist, but they aren't nearly as prevalent, being owned and funded by the County, and not the state. The Guards are tasked with carrying out various duties, such as murder investigation, policing the general population and enforcing law, as well as protecting important government officials and locations as well as safeguarding the sprawling fields dedicated to Maiz's agricultural business. Armed with traditional swords and pistols, they are adequately equipped for their role, sporting occasional helmets in situation where it's deemed necessary. Donning ceremonial uniforms of varying color to indicate rank.
Guards are the most common units fielded and primarily consist of reserve troopers from the Army. Consisting mostly of male volunteers or conscripts, they wear short-sleeved white tunics with bandoliers, pouches, flashlights, and either a pistol, a ceremonial sword, or both. They also wear small backpacks at times, with bedrolls. Due to their role, they can be issued whistles on a chain attached to their breast pockets, and either a tree, or cross-sword shoulder emblem. Rank is signified on the right sleeve, as they wear white caps, or steel helmets. Unofficially, some guards augment their uniforms with masks, or goggles should it add additional comfort in the environment they're operating in. Regular guard ranks include corporal, sergeant, and lieutenant.
Officers often referred to as the elite troopers of the Grand Guard, they're assigned to vital facilities such as embassies, and critical manufacturing plants to safeguard citizens and structures vital to the state. Officers often undergo a year of training before they're considered for the position. This makes them proficient fighters with their ceremonial sabers and precise with their pistols. Generally recruited among stand-out guards or marines, they're most commonly lieutenants, majors, or captains. Majors tend to patrol areas in tandem with their more common brethren, however they can be assigned roles such as guarding the residences of important individuals. Captains are the highest rank an officer can strive to achieve, often leading squads of three to five guards while teaching them the basics of their station.
The guardsmen often employ the same issue weaponry as the Army, therefore they carry the SH-08, chambered in .45 ACP, holding nine rounds including the round in the chamber.
The Guard Sword is a standardized sword made from industrial steel, reliable and utilitarian. The standard blade of all guardsmen, it's length is precisely 120 centimeters, weighing 1.2 kilograms.
