Presidential Guard

A part of the paramilitary organisation of Progressive & Alternative is the Presidential Guard. It has been established in 3633 by Anton Spinoy, who was at that time Minister of Defence of Lodamun.

Task
The Presidential Guard was established to protect the vice-president of Lodamun, as well as the P&A-ministers and officials. When this company was formed, P&A did not have the presidential seat, but Ted Murphy was designated vice-president.

When the Lodamnese president is a P&A-member, it is the main task of the Presidential Guard to serve and protect that person.

Secondary tasks are: securing sites and areas where P&A-officials are present, guard the party headquarters, prepare and secure presidential transportation, etc...

Composition
The Presidential Guard consists of 158 persons.

There are 3 platoons, each having 30 guards, 4 officers, 4 chauffeurs/drivers and 2 communication specialists.

Besides these platoons, that ensure continuous shiftwork, there is a team of personal bodyguards (6 persons), an administrative and evaluation team (8 persons), 2 mechanics, a special intervention unit (20 persons) and a Captain who is, together with his aide, in charge of the company.

Localisation
The Presidential Guard has its headquarters in Port Golavia, in a building only 150 metres from P&A headquarters.

The administration has its offices there, and the platoon on duty resides at that site.

There is also a extensive training area and the building has a large sportsfacility, where the guards can train and exercise.

Trivia
The guards are known as 'PM', short for Presidents Men.
