Königswache

Der Königswache Division KMP is the Militant Wing of the Konservative Monarchistische Partei.

Founding
When Christoph Graf von Wittelsbach survived an assassination attempt in 2491, blamed on the terrorist organization Radikale Aktione Dundorf, thought to be acting with the support of the Communist element in Dundorf, he and Gerhard Graf von Rommel decided to create an organization within the KMP to provide security for the party leadership.

With the KMP's staunchest supporters being ex-Military, and considering the number of ex-soldiers personally befriended by the Graf von Wittelsbach and the Krohnprinzen, this was not difficult.

Organization
The Königswache is highly organized, thanks to the wide-spread military experience of it's leadership.

The Kampfgruppen
The Königswache Division is broken into three elements: Kamfgruppen Eins, Kampfgruppen Zwei and Kampfgruppen Drei.


 * Kampfgruppen Eins

Kampfgruppen Eins is the most respected branch. It co-ordinates security for every KMP event and party head-quarters. It's membership also provides the rank-and-file for any more violent action taken by the Königswache.


 * Kampfgruppen Zwei

Kampfgruppen Zwei oversees the training of new recruits. It also acts as an auxiliary brigade. A potential recruit must go through KG2's basic training course, which is mostly just a refresher for the ex-military elements, but is a major help to the Ankömmling or newcomers who have no prior military or law-enforcement experience. Any recruit who is not ex-military or law-enforcement must serve in Kampfgruppen Zwei until such time as they are deemed worthy of advancement to one of the other Gruppen.

The auxiliaries provide uniformed security functions, patroling party HQs, holding crowds away from stages, clearing paths for party-speakers leaving events, which frees up the KG1 for more important duties.


 * Kampfgruppen Drei

Kampfgruppen Drei is the Intelligence brigade of the Königswache. It operates an international spy-network on behalf of the Pan-Terran Royalist Army, and also within Dundorf, secretly, for political purposes. It's existence is un-official. On the books it is responsible for Janitorial Duties after political events.

Numbers
The Königswache's KG1 never numbers less than 50,000 men, but KG2's membership fluctuates with the KMP's popularity. KG3's membership numbers are un-known.

Equipment
Private Ownership of military-grade weapons is legal in Dundorf, so the Königswache is very well armed. KG2 is armed by it's membership, the rule is you can carry what you own, by way of firearms.

KG1 is armed by the Königswache, with assault rifles, sub-machine guns, grenades, explosives, mines and shoulder-fired anti-tank and anti-air weapons.

The Königswache owns several "Civilian" helicopters and un-armed armoured cars, as well as un-armoured military-grade SUV's and trucks. They have squad helicopters (Civilian-grade, like tv news helicopters) suitable for carrying no more than 5-10 men and larger transport helicopters (de-commissioned military) capable of carrying arms, munitions, supplies and in some-cases vehicles, as well as platoon-numbers of men. In addition the Königswache possesses two high-capacity military transport airplanes, decommissioned in the 2470s and sold at auction to the KMP in 2492.

Operations
The Königswache's KG1 is the primary element of the Pan-Terran Royalist Army, an organization founded by the KMP, and designed to conter the activities of the Pan-Terran Red Army. Out of all the members of the PTRA, the Königswache is the only one guaranteed to respond to a call for help.

Clandestine Actions
The Königswache's Division attached to the Pan-Terran Royalist Army has several hundred ex-special forces members within it's ranks, that form commando-units, capable of special forces actions. These can be carried out on behalf of the KMP or it's interests without the knowledge of the public or any government.

It also has Combat brigades within KG1 that specialise in "Military Advisor" operations, which consist mainly of training and organization, although this organization can come to the point of assuming command, and these units are also used for "Un-official" combat.

Open Operations
In the event of the PTRA's open support of combat action, the Königswache sends in combat brigades from KG1, armed and equipped to the highest standards within the Königswache, and acting as Military Advisors, leadership elements and elite fighters, within the main Royalist force within the field of operations.

The Military Advisors of KG1 are also used to train (and on occasion equip) the Militias of PTRA Member-Parties world-wide, openly where possible, clandestinely where not, providing "Private Security Services" on paper where open Military Advisors are not allowed and cannot get in otherwise.

Conflicts
So far the Königswache has not openly fought in a conflict on behalf of the PTRA; currently the PTRA has offered to take part, on the Royalist side, in potential Communist uprisings in Beluzia and Bailon, Hutori and Mordusia. Of these only the Uprising in the United Kingdom of Beluzia and Bailon is known to be in open conflict.

Whether or not the Königswache has been secretly involved in other conflicts anywhere in the world is unknown.
