The Parliamentary Guard

The Parliamentary Guard is the private military force of the European Federation's Parliament, and operate solely under its discretion in many roles, from security, special forces, and most prominently as an honour guard. The Guard is formed from the most loyal soldiers from all branches of the Federal Armed Forces, primarily drawing from Panzergrenadier battalions, and air mobile Jäger infantry units, often poaching highly decorated or wounded soldiers from groups such as Panzergrenadierlehrbattalion 92.
The Guard only seldom find themselves in combat, and what combat they see is usually against anarchist groups or rioters, with whom they have gained a reputation for fearsome brutality and unwavering dedication to their orders and to the Federation. Occasionally the Guard find themselves in combat with Vannai Puppet or Traitor Suits, where they have fought with aplomb while defending their charges, despite high casualties.
==Equipment==
The Parliamentary Guard are equipped with the best arms and armour that the EuF have at their disposal, and are by standard equipped with Carapace armour that bares a unique camouflage pattern, featuring black/grey urban disruptive on the rigid sections, with a very dark purple underlayer. This gives the Guard an immediately recognizable and striking appearance, contributing to their infamy among their foes.
The Guard are armed with a mixture of DWF RG1 'Rocket Rifles' and EM-3s, with heavy supporting fire provided by MG 3s and Mini/Maximi, and MANPADS and AT support provided by Starstreak II systems and the PzF 4.
IFVs and APCs are also maintained by the Guard's armouries, alongside a number of helicopters for transportation and fire support.
==Organization==
The Guard answer directly to the High Chancellor, who commands the Guard through the Prefect, the Guard's commanding officer, who's orders may be directly overridden at any time by the High Chancellor. The Guard is split into two "Legions", roughly comparable in size to a Regiment, or Brigade. Each Legion, Evropa and Praetorian are then further subdivided into a 5 Cohorts each, directly mirroring the subdivision of the FAF's Regiments to Battalions. From Cohort level down, the Guard is organized identically to any other FAF unit of it's size.
Unlike a normal FAF unit, members of the Guard are not allowed to participate in European politics after their retirement, a requirement offset by a generous pension. The Guard are also paid better than the average soldier. Their pay is directly given to them by the Parliament, who make special allowances to ensure regular payments even in economically difficult times.
It is also theorized, though not directly proven, that Parliament maintains a large stockpile of material with which to blackmail current or former Guard.
