At what level does an officer have to be a security officer? A security guard is not easy to do

The army is a place of great discipline, and once a soldier fails to act in accordance with the rules and regulations, he will be punished extremely severely. For example, any soldier who leaves the army without the permission of his superiors, for whatever reason, will be regarded as a deserter, leaving a lingering stain on his entire life. At the same time, there is a clear hierarchy in the troops, and soldiers, regardless of their position, must strictly follow the instructions given by higher-ranking officers.

And appreciating some military-themed film and television dramas, we will find that the most significant feature of officers is that they will follow the guards at any time, which also makes many people mistakenly believe that all officers have the qualifications to be equipped with guards.

Qualifications for manning security guards

However, this is not the case, and in peacetime it would be a waste of resources for any officer to have a guard, and only a small number of senior officers would be qualified to have a guard. Next, let's take a look at what level of officers will be equipped with guards?

It has been learned that only officers at or above the division level will have guards in the troops, after all, most of them manage tens of thousands of troops, even in peacetime, the possibility of such people encountering threats is low, but as long as they have any accidents, it will also have a huge impact on the management of the entire unit. Therefore, it is absolutely reasonable for the troops to assign them security guards.

Special treatment during the war years

However, if it was during the war years, as long as there were officers above the regimental level, they would basically have guards around them, which can be known from the TV series "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong, as the head of the independent regiment, always had personal guards by his side. Once the war comes, most of these officers will go to the front line to command the battle, and it is understandable that they need to be protected.

Of course, in addition to military personnel, there are often some special scientific research personnel in the troops, who undertake the task of developing advanced weapons and equipment, and to a certain extent, the safety of these scientific research personnel is more important than that of senior officers. Therefore, although some scientific research talents may have a lower military rank, they will also have guards around them.

Guards are also not so easy to do

In fact, many people also have a certain misconception about guards, and they are not just "bodyguards". The selection of guards is very strict, and in addition to their physical qualities, they must also have absolute loyalty and flexible minds. In many cases, the guards even have to assist the chief, and ordinary people really can't do it, so the guards are not so easy to do.

It is precisely because of this that the guards themselves are difficult to train, so there are very few officers in the army who have guards. In addition, the workload of security guards is very high, and they usually have very little time to rest, so some senior officers will have multiple guards to assist in their work. In short, the guards may not have a high rank, but they are definitely the elite of a group of elites, worthy of everyone's Xi and admiration.
