State Guard/State Self Defense Force
In the U.S.A., the various State Guard (sometimes referred to as [insert state name] State Defense Force) units- not to be confused with the [State] National Guard- are probably the closest thing to a Gendarmerie outfit we've got.
Here are a couple of examples: https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/e...te-guard-5301/ http://www.gasdf.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Me..._Defense_Force AFAIK, most, but not all, states have such a force, but I imagine in a T2K scenario, the state legislatures and governors of states that don't would quickly authorize them. I don't recall seeing mention of such units in any of the CONUS campaign modules, but they should be included.

Quote:
Also, note that membership in a State Guard does not exempt one from being drafted, because it's not Federal service. Also, military reservists may not serve in State Guards per 32 USC 109. In the late 80s, Utah had to dismiss all but 31 of their state defense force because of infiltration by neo-Nazis and felons. In the T2K universe, it's possible that State Guards would have been similarly infiltrated by New America, particularly in the Virginia and Maryland regions (West Virginia has no state law authorizing a Guard unit).
