The Garrison (駐屯兵団 Chūton Heidan), also known as the Stationary Guard and the Garrison Regiment, is a division of the Eldian military of the Walls and is one of the major factions of Attack on Titan. It is the largest division of the military and is tasked with maintaining and protecting order and security from within the Walls. The Garrison has the privilage of having most soldiers join mainly because of the high casualty rates of the Survey Corps and the low membership rates of the Military Police brigade leaving them with large number of soldiers and members.
Structure
Duties
The Garrison is to protect the Walls at all costs and keep order and peace stable from its citizens within. Members often train hard in the event of a Titan attack and often protect the walls via patrols, repairs, or improvements. Garrison members often spend a lot of time training and are ready for combat against the Titans. They also have to deal with crowd control and civilian evacuation scenarios whenever the walls get breached and make sure civilians are evacuated safely.
Organization
Garrison is divided into many units with a total of 30,000 Soldiers. Members of the Trainesse Squad are also part of their units but only after graduation and acceptance into one of Garrison's units. The units are regiments, divisions and brigades each with their different sizes. A regiment is the smallest unit consisting of around 1000 soldiers each, a brigade with around 2000-3000 soldiers and the division as the largest consisting of a size of over two brigades.
