Formed in 1637 from the loyalist Behsazi militia groups that operated in Alalehzamin and Utasia during the River War, the 10th Division of the Territorial Defence Corps, known as the Zjandarian Guards (derived from the historic Babkhi name of Lesser Zjandaria formerly applied to the Deep South), was the first division strength formation to be deployed into the Vale of Angularis in 1639 to combat a widespread insurgency. The deployment exposed weaknesses in UDF's logistical supply chain which were subsequently addressed by the Tulloch Reforms implemented by the Zjandarian Guard's newly appointed Generalmajor, Petro Tulloch, and subsequently rolled out across the entire UDF.

Following the Auspicious Occasion, the Zjandarian Guards became a training cadre for the Elwynnese Republican Guards which replaced the disbanded UDF.

With the renewal of hostilities against Jingdao, on a far larger scale than previously in the Sxiro-Jingdaoese Confrontation, the Republican Guard was hurriedly expanded to become a reserve army for the overstretched Imperial Forces. The 10th Division was formally disestablished and it's traditions along with the surviving ex-UDF personnel passed onto XXIII Corps (The Zjandarian Guards).

As part of Operation Gorgon, the under-strength Corps was relocated to Vijayanagara to assist in the training of new recruits and the establishment of coastal defences around the strategically important arctic port city.

Commanding Officers

  • 1637–1638: Generalmajor Kaveh Parvin
  • 1638–1639: Generalmajor Farbtafeln (arrested for murdering a civilian management consultant during the Anarchy of Angularis)
  • 1639–1644: Generalmajor Petro Tulloch
  • 1644–1654: Generalmajor Daniyal Sikander Dravot
  • 1654–the present: Dux Flavius Magnus
