A '''Provisional Garrison Cluster''' is a [[Clan]] military formation. They are typically considered one tier below second line forces and are typically used to hold rear areas, perform cleanup tasks too dishonorable for front line or second line [[Cluster]]s, or hold minor objectives. Typically the troops used by a PGC are either [[freeborn]] warriors or [[trueborn]]s who are [[solahma|too old]] or disgraced by their actions to remain in a front line unit. A few Clans make no distinction between PGCs and second-line Clusters. This means that their second line troops are more homogeneous, but also means that their front line and second line troops have a wide gap in quality.<ref>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 12</ref><ref>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 10</ref> Usually Provisional Garrison Clusters are not considered part of a bid.
