Vanguard

Vanguard is the main Operations Force of the Geneva Convention Defense Protocol. They are a global peacekeeping and counterterrorism force, running effectively a war monopoly.

History
With the 2039 United Nations Collapse as a result of the establishment of the Geneva Convention, the Convention reformed itself to a protocol, founding it's main military organ Vanguard. With the Middle East being an anarchistic mess at that time, Vanguard deployed in the region and brought it back on it's feet in a matter of months. Seeing how nations are able to create a stable force together under a shared command gave Vanguard te oppertunity to start a monopoly on engaging on foreign territories, with other armies solely focusing on domestic defense.

Structure
