Deployments |
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.
