It is formerly a detachment of the Miersan National Guard, it was founded in 2006 by Krzysztof Grygiel, who was the leader of the group until his assassination by Savader rebels in 2015. He was replaced Ferdynand Burski.
It was founded to patrol voivodeships such as Malomiersa and Swiecizar against Lemovician and Savader rebel groups such as the Savader People's Army and the Northern Lemovician People's Army. It has been used by the Miersan government in controversial attacks against opposition forces to the governments of Tomasz Kopernik and Jakub Lewkowicz. It has been used in anti-separatist operations alongside the police and national guard of Miersa. Their tactics have been accused of being brutal and a form of state-backed terror.
During events like riots and demonstrations, they have been deployed alongside law enforcement and used to crush dissent. They have been accused of being another wing of the government led by Zabowiazanie, even though it is owned by the far-right All-Miersan Corps political party, a close ally of Zabowiazanie. They are designated a terrorist group by the governments of East Miersa, Valduvia, and Champania.
