Tunisian National Guard
The Tunisian National Guard (Tunisian Arabic: الحرس الوطني, el-Ḥaras el-Waṭanī) is a separate military force of Tunisia. It is not part of the Tunisian Armed Forces, due to its specific role as a counterbalance to the regular military. It serves both as defence force against external threats and as a security force against internal threats. It has a standing force of 15,000.
