The Guild

The **Guild** is a subdivision of the Afterlife Battlefront that handles the support element. Typically, the Guild handles supplies, weapons, ammunition, and vehicles. However they still support the battlefront in many other aspects, such as providing additional manpower.

In the original iterations of Angel Beats, The Guild were able to manufacture weapons, artillery, and ammunition from dirt as long as one had the knowledge and understanding behind the things they constructed. As the entire guild was reincarnated/revived and were placed back into the real world, some members did not return to the battlefront, requiring the guild to undergo reforms in order to compensate for the lack of manpower.

The location of the Guild is currently unknown, however it was described by Otonashi as a series of factory buildings with an underground network.

Chaa is the current leader of the Guild and is acting leader of the battlefront whenever both Yuri and Hinata are not present. However, The Guild is entirely capable of operating independently if there are no leaders present. In the case the leadership of the Battlefront decides to fall, The Guild has a series of orders to destroy any evidence and to disavow themselves in order to ensure the survival of the members.

## Sub-divisions

Within the Guild exists subdivisions covering their own area of responsibility, making management easier. Each subdivision has their own assigned leader and hierarchy, and that information is shared amongst subdivisions to provide transparency and makes cooperation easy.

### Research and Development

The research and development subdivision focuses on the practical battlefield aspect and innovation rather than directly creating equipment. While extremely small compared to the rest of the subdivisions, they give recommendations to the entire battlefront about certain types of weapons and equipment they should use for certain operations and battlefields, as well as provide information and training in aspects such as tactics and firearm handling.

Research and Development handles most of the orders that go to the manufacturing departments. They also handle the final inspections of all items created and catalogue them.

### Weapons Manufacturing

The weapons manufacturing subdivision focuses mainly on creating weapons for the battlefront, using previous knowledge and existing blueprints in order to make them for the battlefront. This is one of the most important subdivisions as they can create untraceable weapons, therefore very popular amongst criminal organizations.

While the subdivisions focuses on making firearms, they also create explosives on a limited basis.

The weapons manufacturing subdivision ranks third in amount of personnel, following a substantial loss of people due to lack of recruitment of previous members. They can create a variety of weapons from modern-day era to World War II era firearms. However, as old weapons become impractical to use, most of the old firearms are in storage awaiting purchases or requests from buyers.

### Equipment Manufacturing

The equipment manufacturing subdivision focuses mainly on creating equipment and accessories for the battlefront. Items such as night vision goggles, suppressors, IR lasers, flashlights, armor, and pouches are primary examples that are made within the subdivision.

This subdivision ranks fourth in amount of personnel, with production often very slow due to lack of materials. They are however, one of the most important assets to the battlefront as the equipment they make provides an edge when operations are conducted.

### Logistics

The logistics subdivision are the backbone of the guild, handling a lot of shipping and handling between the suppliers, the guild, buyers, and sellers. They also handle delivering supplies to battlefront members that are in operations. Both Logistics and Security have the most members out of all the subdivisions.

Due to the nature of their job, logistics members typically conceal carry weapons on their person and their vehicles. Given the amount of money the battlefront makes off the black market, the assets the logistics subdivision has range from a variety of cars to helicopters of civilian nature. The Logistics subdivision is looking to obtain a cargo plane to continue it's operations.

The logistics subdivision focuses on delivering assets to the Top Brass of the battlefront as fast as possible. Both Logistics and Security have the most members out of all the subdivisions.

The logistics subdivision makes a prominent appearance in Chapter 10, handling the majority of supplies and equipment for the operation that took place in said chapter, Operation Tornado.

### Security

The security subdivision of the Guild handles the security of all Afterlife Battlefront points of interest, typically not going into direct action.

All members of the battlefront are trained in combat and through technicalities everyone can become a combatant at a minute's notice. Usually, the logistics subdivision and security subdivision hand members to each other as both skillsets are mandatory amongst most, if not all members of the Battlefront. Both Logistics and Security have the most members out of all the subdivisions.

There are times where the Top Brass of the battlefront may request additional reinforcements to which the security subdivision provides. Talks exist of having the security subdivision be it's own subdivision under the battlefront itself rather than the guild.
