Polaris National Guard

The Polaris National Guard is a sub-department of the Polaris Department of Defence that serves as the principal ground command for Polarian national defence.

As of 2017, the National Guard has an active primary operational force of 95,000 soldiers, 6,700 civilian support personnel, in addition to 14,000 special operations personnel, and a reserve personnel of 110,000. Under the terms of the Constitution of Polaris, Polaris is prohibited from raising a conventional army. As such, the Polaris National Guard is effectively a paramilitary force. The mission of the National Guard is supplemented by the Polaris Air Guard and Polaris Maritime Guard.

The National Guard maintains its central headquarters at PNGB Nirbrune at Kirk Falls, New Westshield, and regional headquarters in Ardwick, EN, Solace, JI, Pineton, SN, and West Glanell, WK.

Structure
The Polarian National Guard is divided into five regional divisions, three territorial regiments, and three special operations regiments. Regional divisions are responsible for maintaining public order and defending Polaris from domestic and foreign threats to national security through both direct deployment in addition to more surgical operations. Regional divisions, of all subsets within the Polaris National Guard are accorded the greatest autonomy, and are set up such that Polarian forces are able to address several crises at any given moment.

Territorial regiments are centrally administered, reporting directly to Central Headquarters at PNGB Nirbrune.

The Polaris National Guard also operates the National Defence College of Polaris, a federal degree-granting institution training military officers with three campuses across Polaris. Entry to the NDCP is not required to enter into the Polaris National Guard, though most senior-ranking officials appointed have formal training at a defense college, either in Polaris or from other jurisdictions within Antarctica.
