The US Territorial Guard is a uniformed service that was created in my campaign that was loosely patterned off the West German Federal Border Guard to create a land-based version of the US Coast Guard that would take over the duties of the US Border Patrol, Airport Security and the US Forest Rangers (namely their Search and Rescue and Wild Firefighting duties). And like the USCG Non-Commissioned Officers had limited law enforcement powers.
The USTG was created in the early-1990s after a rise in Illegal Immigration and drug smuggling overwhelmed the local law enforcement and boarder patrol units. Namely, something similar happened that is happening IRL right now. One of the Drug Cartels killed a newly elected US Senator and his family who were on vacation and had stumbled upon the smuggling operation that had saw some human trafficers dealing with the deadbodies of some of the illegal immigrants who died from heatstroke. The cartel didn't know they killed a US Senator and his family until the news media went nuts covering the US Forestry Service and Border Patrol prefroming an all-out search and rescue with the help of the US Army, US Navy and US Air Force.
When everything came to light the American people demanded something be done for border security, search and rescue and other kinds of things that the Coast Guard does... but wanting it to happen on a land-based nature.
