White Bear Brigade

The White Bear Brigade is the civilian militia augmentation to the Christian Republic of New Russia's armed forces. They compose of civilian volunteers that supplement and reinforce the Russian military forces.  They are considered the Russian version of the US National Guard .
==History==
The White Bear Brigade is similar to the Continental Army during the American Revolution, having been started by civilians that volunteered to augment the Russian Army. It got it start as a subdivision of the Apostolic People's Front during the Second Russian Civil War.
When the war ended, the White Bear Brigade became what could be considered the Russian counterpart to the American National Guard . They supplemented and augmented the Russian Armed Forces, becoming a secondary fighting force if the Russian "Regular Army" needed a secondary line of defense.
Since 1978, the White Bear Brigade has served as the main militia movement of the country of Russia.
==Appearance==
As a militia movement, soldiers in the White Bear Brigade wear military gear over civilian clothing. They are also seen wearing Kevlar helmets, baseball caps, beanies, balaclavas, ski masks, and shemaghs. They somewhat resemble the Apostolic People's Front rebels that fought in the Civil War (considering that they originally started out as members of the Apostolic People's Front, this makes sense), except with stronger and better gear. Some militants are seen wearing earpieces and radios on their persons.
