In addition to the active ground forces, the Blackhelm Confederacy has a large Town Guard that can be mobilized in wartime to support the war effort within their home provinces. The functions of militia vary from locality to locality, covering diverse tasks such as air defense, emergency response, and technical support which can include technical maintenance and repair, as well as computer network operations.

Description

The Town Guard serves as a kind of reserve force as well as a law enforcement arm in much of the country. Town Guard structures vary in size from only a handful of members in smaller localities to full formations in larger cities.

Town Guard personnel are made up mostly of former soldiers, as well as a large number of retirees and students wishing to fulfill civic duties but who were exempt from conscription due to their schooling. In the case of many student-Guardsmen, duty in the Guard is on a seasonal basis, allowing them to serve full-time during the summer months and then return to their studies in the fall. Individuals of conscription age may also be ordered to report to their local Town Guard unit, rather than to the active-duty military, if local Guard units require additional manpower and have requested such measures. The Town Guard may recruit female citizens when necessary, but this is an extremely rare measure.

Town Guard members draw their salary from their local municipality, rather than from the Blackhelm Confederate government itself. In times of emergencies, the Town Guard can be deployed to assist the Confederacy's 7.1 million regular troops.

The General Staff Headquarters administers the building of the Town Guard under the leadership of the Senate and local representatives. Under the command of military organs, the Town Guard in wartime helps the standing army in its military operations, conducts independent operations, and provides combat support and manpower replenishment for the standing army. In peacetime, it undertakes the tasks of performing combat readiness support, taking part in emergency rescue and disaster relief efforts, and maintaining social order.

Town Guard work is under the unified leadership of the Senate and the leadership of local committees, local governments as well as the local military commands. The General Staff Headquarters supervises Town Guard work nationwide. The military area commands are responsible for Guard work in their respective jurisdictions. Provincial military commands are the organs of military leadership and command, and responsible for the Town Guard work in their respective jurisdictions. The grass-roots people's armed forces departments established in town-ships (towns), urban sub-districts, enterprises and public institutions are responsible for organizing and carrying out Guard work. Local committees and governments at all levels make overall plans and arrangements for Guard work.

In recent years the Confederacy has persisted in reform and innovation in Town Guard force buildup, adjusted its size and structure, and upgraded its weaponry and equipment. The organizational structure has optimized to increase the capabilities of the Town Guard to support combat and emergency response forces. Investment in weaponry and equipment has been increased to systematically and organically provide a series of new types of Town Guard air defense equipment such as air defense artillery and portable air defense missiles in key areas. Equipment for emergency response and stability-maintenance operations has been improved. Some types of weapons have been upgraded.

Rural towns and townships, administrative villages, and urban sub-districts are the basic units in which the Town Guard is organized. Guardsmen are separately organized for concentrated military training in Town Guard military training bases of administrative areas at the lowest level. Currently, there are emergency detachments, and such specialized technical detachments as anti-aircraft artillery, anti-aircraft machineguns, portable air defense missiles, ground artillery, communications, chemical defense, engineering and reconnaissance detachments.

To ensure that Guardsmen are always ready to respond to the call in case of a contingency, the Confederate government has formulated a Town Guard combat readiness system, whereby combat readiness education is carried out regularly among the Town Guard with the purpose of enhancing their national defense awareness, and exercises are conducted in accordance with combat readiness plans to enhance the Town Guard's operational capabilities.
