The Saudi Arabian National Guard

The Saudi Arabian National Guard is a military force responsible for defending the kingdom's internal stability and security. Unlike the regular army, it has a special role in protecting the royal family, key government facilities, and maintaining domestic peace. It was established to serve as a loyal force that supports the government and prevents unrest. The Guard operates alongside other military branches, but its focus is primarily on internal security and safeguarding the nation's stability, making it a crucial element in Saudi Arabia’s defense and political structure.
