National Guard Authority

National Guard Authority (NGAArabic: سلطة الحرس الوطنية sulṭat al-ḥaras al-waṭanīyah) is the generic name for any of the authorities responsible for the management, implementation, recruiting, supply arrangement, etc. for the National Guard formation of any one of the 20 republics of the Arab Union. While the creation and maintenance of each National Guard formation is entirely the responsibility of a republican (non-federal) government, the majority of National Guard military activities in support of the real military are commanded by the single All-Union National Guard General Staff, which commands the actions of all National Guard personnel, itself forming a part of the Union Security Council alongside the Ministry of Defence and Joint Security Committee, and much more.
