The Daoan Pioneer Corps (DPC) (Daoan: Quân đoàn Tiên phong Đảo Bắc), commonly referred to as the Pioneer Corps, is a paramilitary multi-service national law enforcement agency of Daobac whose role encompasses customs & border protection, civil defense, maritime law enforcement, environmental protection and search & rescue (SAR). Active duty service members of the DPC are commonly referred to as Pioneers although this term can be applied to both civilian employees and volunteer members of the organization. Full time service members of the DPC are generally comprised of former reserve members of the Daobac Self-Defense Forces (DSDF) who are no longer and is further augmented by conscripts from Daobac's National Service program. Volunteers of the DPC are restricted from using or carrying firearms while on volunteer duty and are largely relegated to non-combat related civilian auxiliary roles although they can apply to become full time employees of the DPC. The DPC was formed through the merger of the Daoan Coast Guard, Daoan Border Force & Daoan Park Services to better streamline the services provided the three organizations as their functions, tasks and responsibilities often overlap with one another. As a result of the merger the DPC is placed directly under the supervision of the National Security Committee, a joint body that oversees the nations security interest who also administers the DSDF. While the DPC is not a military organization and is not a part of the DSDF, due to its placement within the National Security Committee in times of war the DPC may be placed under the command chain of the DSDF.
