National Guard of the Allied States

The National Guard of the Allied States is the home guard military force of the Allied States of America, which acts as a last line of defense against foreign invasion, local uprising, terrorism, or civil disobedience. Members (referred to as Guardsmen) are allowed to hold full-time civilian jobs, however, are required to attend sessions every fortnight. In times of invasion, these Guardsmen are required to be active at all times, suspending their normal civilian lives. The National Guard consists of the Allied States Army National Guard, which acts as the land component, and the Allied States Air National Guard, which is used in air combat. The Department of Homeland Security has control over the entire Guard in times of peace, and the Department of Defense, in times of war. The Army and Air Force administer these divisions respectively when at war. The Allied States Coast Guard is a separate branch. The Civil Defense Initiative is a component of the National Guard.

Civil Defense Initiative
The Civil Defense Initiative is a project undertaken by the Allied States Government to in some way or another, arm the entire populous of the Allied States, and have them more invasion-aware. Citizens can without any charge, sign up at a local National Guard Office, and receive their uniform and equipment. All members' equipment is inspected monthly by the original National Guard, to check for any unlawful discharges or weaponry, or unjustified usage of any other equipment. Rules specify that if any murderous act is committed by members of the CDI, using a weapon of the CDI, the sentence will be no less than death.
