The '''Guard Force''' is the {{wp|military reserve force}} of [[North Point]].  All able-bodied males aged 18 through 40 are ''de facto'' members of the Guard Force, but its main strength is derived from volunteer local units raised by each region or major city.  Under the Guard Force system, every household without a member in the volunteer units is required to keep a military-grade rifle (in almost all cases a [[North Point Service Rifle]]) on hand, along with at least two-hundred rounds of military-issue ammunition.

The volunteer units are generally issued second-line equipment from the [[North Point Army]], but all Guard Force troops are allowed a relatively wide leeway in privately-purchased personal equipment. Heavy weapons, such as anti-tank rocket launchers, man-portable air defense systems (such as the {{wp|FIM-92 Stinger}}), and explosives (such as land mines and grenades), are heavily-controlled and stored at Guard Force armories. Only personal firearms are allowed to be kept in the home.

Organized volunteer Guard Force regiments usually take the form of {{wp|motorized infantry|motorized}} or {{wp|light infantry}}. With the passing of an emergency war powers bill, Guard Force regiments can be deployed overseas to assist the [[North Point Army]], though this is an extremely unpopular option that was only called upon during the Great War.
