Wolfmanne wrote:The name National Guard makes no sense. It implies that it's more of a volunteer militia rather than a professional gendarmerie or paramilitary police force. Historically, a national guard has been a militia unit. France had the National Guard, the Spanish had the National Guard, Sri Lanka has their own (Sri Lanka National Guard), there was the White Guard in Finland to defend against the Soviet invasion and the United States has the National Guard, but all of them are militias which don't have an internal security role.Internal Security Force Bill (2013)

Preamble
The security of our nation is a top priority for the government and the Senate. Election to the Senate gives you the responsibility to ensure that you can hold the government to account in ensuring the safety and security of our people. However, it is not the responsibility of individual political parties to act as the judge, jury and executioner, for only multiple political parties and not just one can hold the government to account. Furthermore, we recognise that whether you support or oppose the Right to Bear Arms, in a time such as this, we need to reach a compromise until specific firearms legislation promoting or restricting the ownership of guns. In order to further the government's ability to ensure the security of this nation, we see the need for the creation of a government organisation to do just that, as evidenced by the 1st Festival of Republic, where armed right-wing paramilitaries are attempting to agitate left-wing paramilitaries into destabilising the nation.

Where the PLEA(2013) is mentioned, maybe link to it? For ease of reading? viewtopic.php?p=14233997#p14233997
You broke the list function in this.
Your uniform does not mandate wearing of a cap-badge.
Why?
