People's Revolutionary Guard

The People's Revolutionary Guard (PRG) acts as the paramilitary wing of the Posadist Revolutionary Union (PRU) of Posadastan. They are significantly smaller than the Red Liberation Army (RLA), but they are more active abroad. They take on both an internal policing role and an external role supporting Posadist interests abroad. It is estimated that there are around 80,000-90,000 active members within the PRG, and almost all have had military training via conscription. A majority of these members are only active at a local level and take "secret oaths" to defend the party, as opposed to the proper military whose purpose is to defend the sovereignty of Posadastan.

With this dynamic, the government of Posadastan does not recognize the PRG as the official military force, nor does the government grant them any official diplomatic capacity, which has led to some nations like the Texas Federation considering the notion of declaring the PRG as a terrorist group. The PRU itself typically gives no official statement on the PRG, and the two are not formally connected, but the PRG is considered the de facto paramilitary wing of the PRU due to the PRG being the ones to carry out most of the PRU-backed purges.

The PRG also works closely with the Ministry of State Security (MSS) and, in recent years, the army to maintain an elaborate security and surveillance apparatus over the nation.

Structure

The PRG operates at two levels, the first being local branches that operate as auxiliary police/reservists/firefighters/first responders and do work in communities, as well as historically being the ones responsible for carrying out purges at a local level. The local branches are all highly decentralized and usually lightly armed, if at all. The also take on important roles within the communities for rebuilding after disasters, setting up charity drives, distributing propaganda, and doing other community service-related activities. It is often made up of students, radical union members, and veterans.

The second tier of the PRG's structure is the national council of the PRG, which operates a paramilitary force that is mostly disjunct from the local branches (usually using them for recruitment). This nationwide paramilitary is the most commonly associated with the "PRG" label. It is often made up of military reservists or those who wish to possibly see action abroad. The nationwide paramilitary force operates essentially as its own military, separate from the RLA, and it is not officially state-sanctioned, giving it more liberty to operate abroad. It has been accused of arming, funding, and/or training numerous rebel groups around the world.

Equipment

Land

The exact numbers are unknown and fluctuate at any given time due to how secretive and lucrative the PRG is. It is believed they have a "sizable" arsenal of APCs, trucks, light tanks, artillery, MRLS, AA guns and missiles, and a small fleet of planes and helicopters, most of which is funneled abroad to help aid foreign insurgencies. Though most aid to insurgents is typically in the form of "People's Volunteer Brigades" (groups of hundreds to thousands of military-trained PRG soldiers), light weaponry (rocket launchers, mortars, machine guns), financial support, and training/organizing.

Sea

At sea, they operate a fleet of small vessels and cargo vessels, often for lease abroad (pending governmental approval), mainly consisting of the following:

• 5-8 heavy cargo ships
• 6 013-class fast patrol boats
• ~10 002-class fast patrol boats
• 2 085-class patrol boats
• 4 Pyao-class coastal submarines (alleged)
• 9 type 00-class missile boats
• 7-10 Hao-class missile boats
• 8-12 Torpedo/PT boats (various types)
• ~28 "small commercial craft"
