[[People's Guard of Georgia|The People's Guard]] was the privileged military force in the country. Founded on September 5, 1917, as the Worker's Guard, it was later renamed the Red Guard, and finally the People's Guard. It was a highly politicized military structure placed directly under the control of parliament rather than the Ministry of War. Throughout its existence (1917–1921), the Guard was under the command of the Menshevik activist [[Valiko Jugheli]].<ref>[http://www.colisee.org/article.php?id_article=5290 (French) Valiko Djougheli].</ref>
The DRG also formed its own regular army. The only part of it was armed in peacetime, the majority being on [[furlough]] and following their callings. If the republic had been in danger, they would have been called up by the [[Staff (military)|General Staff]], supplied with arms, and allotted to their places. General [[Giorgi Kvinitadze]]<ref>[http://www.colisee.org/article.php?id_article=2516 (French) Guiorgui Kvinitadzé].</ref> was commander-in-chief, two times.
