History
Formation
The roots of this command are from a remaining battalion which survived the assault during the formation of the early FWL. Since then the command fought many battles. In recent years the unit was tasked with the defence of the valuable Corean Enterprises factory on Stewart. The command see only mock battles but could save their experience through tough training cycles.[1]

Jihad
As part of Operation SCOUR's Free Worlds League thrust into the Word of Blake Protectorate the Home Guard invaded Wasat. The improved defenses, consisting of capital scale weapons and the Word of Blake's Third Division, nearly shattered the unit.[2] Later, the Home Guard would attack the planet Liberty alongside ComStar's 5th Army (ComStar).[3]
During the liberation of Terra, the Home Guard invaded the city of Geneva under command of General Andrew Redburn. They fought alongside ComStar's Sixth Army, the Fox's Teeth, Stone's Liberators, and the 5th Lyran Guards.[4] The assault turned into a nightmare chase as the Coalition forces pursued the defending Blakists across Europe.[5]
After leaving Terra to the Coalition forces, the Home Guard returned to Stewart. Ignoring orders from the Coalition Commanders, they drove the defenders off-world and have begun rebuilding from the output of the Corean Enterprises plant on the world.[6] Despite the expansion of the Republic of the Sphere after the Republic Formation Treaty the Home Guard continued to stay on Stewart until at least late 3081.[7]
Officers
In 3025 the unit is commanded by Major General Lao Jarreau-Stewart.[8]
As of 3050 to 3059 the commanding officer was Colonel Virginia Nash.[9][1]
Tactics
Because they guarded the Corean Plant, this command is specialized in defensive engagements.[1][10]
