Confederate Guards

The elite special operations force of the Confederate military, the Confederate Guards are a direct successor organization to the COG's Onyx Guard, an elite group of shock troops who were wiped out during the First Battle of Azura in 17 A.E. While anyone could apply to join the Guard, very few managed to get in, the rigorous tests and exercises proving a challenge for even the most hardened of the Confederacy's soldiers. Like their Onyx Guard predecessors, the Confederate Guards maintained their own vehicle and aircraft inventories, allowing them to operate outside of the army's normal supply chain.
