The Iraqi National Guard (NG; Arabic:الحرس الوطني, al-Ḥaras al-Waṭanī) was part of the new Military of Iraq but has since been absorbed by the Iraqi Army controlled by the interim government. Following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, United States Coalition Provisional Authority Chief Paul Bremer disbanded the military apparatus of Iraq as existed under Saddam Hussein. As the security situation in occupied Iraq deteriorated and the Iraqi insurgency became increasingly active, the U.S. set up, recruited and trained the new security force in order to combat the insurgency. Despite attacks by insurgent and terrorist groups, the Iraqi National Guard was able to recruit many Iraqis from the vast ranks of the unemployed. The force has been used to assist Coalition troops in combatting the insurgency. However, there have been several instances where they have refused to take military action against fellow Iraqis, such as in Fallujah, deserted, or allegedly aided the resistance.
Prior to the U.S. occupation, the long period of civil strife had encouraged the development of a variety of private armies. The freshly elected government of President Carlos José Solórzano requested that the U.S. Marines (equally interested in central control) remain in Nicaragua until an indigenous security force could be trained; the Nicaraguan government hired a retired US General to set up the Guardia Nacional de Nicaragua. US forces left in 1925, but after a civil war broke out, returned in 1926, taking over command of the National Guard until 1933, when it was returned to Nicaraguan control under the government of Juan Bautista Sacasa.
Sacasa, under political pressure from José María Moncada, who had been a leader of a rebel faction which later joined the government after U.S. mediation efforts, appointed Anastasio Somoza García as chief director of the National Guard. Somoza Garcia was trusted as a friend of Moncada, a supporter of the liberal revolt, and a nephew of Sacasa. He was trusted by the U.S. from his service as a translator to Henry Stimson during the 1927 peace conference, schooling in the U.S., and training under the U.S. Marines (apparently, as an officer in the National Guard).
The National Guard of Bahrain (Arabic:الحرس الوطني) is a separate military force in Bahrain that serves both as defence force against external threats and as a security force against internal threats. It was established in 1997, through a royal decree by then Emir Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa.
The National Guard is currently commanded by Major-General Mohammed bin Isa Al Khalifa, brother of King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa. It consists of about 2,000 personnel.
The National Guard has been involved in the Bahrain government's violent crackdown on pro-democracy protesters during the Bahraini uprising.
Jackson is the state capital and largest city, with a population of around 175,000 people. The state overall has a population of around 3 million people. Mississippi is the 32nd most extensive and the 32nd most populous of the 50 United States.
The state is heavily forested outside of the Mississippi Delta area. Its riverfront areas were cleared for slave-cultivated cotton production before the American Civil War, but after the war, the bottomlands were cleared mostly by freedmen. African Americans made up two-thirds of the property owners in the Delta by the end of the 19th century, but timber and railroad companies acquired much of the land. Clearing altered the ecology of the Delta, increasing the severity of flooding along the Mississippi. Much land is now held by agribusinesses. A largely rural state with agricultural areas dominated by industrial farms, Mississippi is ranked low or last among the states in such measures as health, educational attainment, and median household income. The state's catfishaquaculture farms produce the majority of farm-raised catfish consumed in the United States.
Mississippi was an Australian band (1972–1975), which featured some big names in Australian rock music including Graeham Goble, Beeb Birtles and Kerryn Tolhurst. The band started as Allison Gros in Adelaide, South Australia in 1970 and moved to Melbourne in 1971 where they recorded as Allison Gros, Drummond and in 1972 became Mississippi which eventually evolved into Little River Band by 1975.
History
1970-1972: Allison Gros and Drummond
"Allison Gross" is a traditional English folk ballad with the most widely recognised version recorded by Steeleye Span on their 1973 album Parcel of Rogues. The Adelaide based folk-rock band Allison Gros is believed to be named after this folk ballad and consisted of Graeham Goble (vocals, guitar), Russ Johnson (vocals, guitar), John Mower (vocals, guitar) and Shane Simons (drums). They recorded one single on independent label Gamba "Naturally" released in 1970. The band moved to Melbourne in 1971 and signed to the Fable Records label and released two singles; "If I Ask You" and "All the Days". Under the pseudonym Drummond they recorded a 'chipmunk' version of the 1950s rock song "Daddy Cool", which spent 7 weeks at the top of the Australian national charts from September 1971. The success of their single rode largely on the back of the success of Australian band Daddy Cool, who had scored a number one hit for 10 weeks with "Eagle Rock", which Drummond's single replaced at #1.
UPITN 9 6 79 NATIONAL GUARD MEET RESISSTANCE AT ROADBLOCK
(6 Jun 1979) The 10 day Sandinista offensive aimed at overthrowing Nicaraguan President Somoza spread throughout the country. Sandinista guerrilas blocked the Leon highway preventing Guardia, the National Guard, reinforcements from reaching the city. The guerrillas stole an heavy duty earthmover and dug up the road blocking a key bridge crossing. A Guardia patrol which found the barricade swept the area as refugees and a group of foreign correspondants left the city and National Guard troops advancing on Leon clashed with guerrillas at the road block.

(13 Jun 1979) RR7924A NICARAGUA THE FINAL OFFENSIVE
In contrast to the September 1978 Civil War, when an
untrained and unarmed civilian population confronted
the Nicaraguan government's National Guard, much
of the fighting this time has been done by highly
organised youths recruited bu the left-wing Sandinista
National Liberation Front (FSLN). The Sandinistas
have described the fighting as the 'final offensive'
against the Somoza family dictatorship. Last September,
the rebels suffered heavy losses and were quickly forced
to abandon territory. This year government convoys have
had difficulty in reaching the occupied cities despite
their expensive armaments and their being numerically superior.

At that time, the red cross in the Costa Rican capital of San Jose reported that seven Nicaraguan aircraft bombed and strafed several vehicles and ranches inside Costa Rican territory, killing or wounding at least 25 people.

UPITN camera team also came under machine gun fire from the planes. The cameramen's car was forced to dive off the road and the team themselves took what cover they could. A DC-3 opened up with a machine gun, mounted in the rear cargo door. Another aircraft, a twin-tailed air commander, went in with rockets. There was no way the rebels could stop the air attack; they had to lie low and take it. Eventually, the air attack, supported by ground troops, was completely successful and the rebels had to surrender control of Esteli back to the government. It was the last major position they held and the fighting moved away to the frontier areas

(30 Sep 1997) Spanish/Nat
Hundreds of Nicaraguans participated in a Catholic mass to honour the Somoza family dictatorship which ruled the country for nearly 50 years.
The mass was the first public event involving the Somoza family since their defeat by the Sandinistas in 1979.
The event was held amid escalating tensions between the country's left and the right.
Just a few years ago this mass would have been unheard of.
But on Monday night, hundreds of Nicaraguans packed this church in San Rafael del Sur to honour the Somoza family - a dynasty of dictators who ruled Nicaragua for nearly 50 years.
The mass was an open show of support for the Somozas and marked the 41st anniversary of the death of the founding dictator, General Somoza Garcia.
Followers distributed souvenir cards with the photograph of the general - the dynasty's patriarch who was shot dead in 1956.
Two of his grandchildren attended the service.
(Spanish)
"Well we have to make it clear that we are here to claim back the land. We are not involved in politics. The Sandinistas have their own political games in what it is to maintain the properties that they have stolen. Really it is a game of injustice in the courts. And that is all that we are doing here."
SUPER CAPTION: Luis Somoza, grandson of dictator General Anastasio Somoza
Nostalgia for the family has grown during the years following the end of their military rule.
Two of Somoza Garcia's sons succeeded him until the leftist Sandinista rebels overthrew General Anastasio Somoza Debayle in July 1979.
Thousands of Somoza supporters - known as "Somocista" - went into exile after the Sandinistas took over.
(Spanish)
Q: "Would you like the Somoza family to return to Nicaragua?"
A: "Of course. As does everyone. All. Because I am a Somocista since my mother brought us children into the world. I am 65 years old and, like my mother, the president and general coordinator of General Somoza, I go on doing the same. I am president and coordinator of the National Guard. And with great pride and with a lot of honour and without fear of anybody because I am afraid only of God."
SUPER CAPTION: Olga Flores, Somocista
Members of the family are seeking to recoup 350 properties worth an estimated 250 (m) million U-S dollars.
Some hope their return will mean work and an end to the impoverished misery many suffer.
Others see it as a disaster.
The mass took place as tension mounts between Nicaragua's opposing political parties.
Right-wing President Arnoldo Aleman, elected last October, has been accused of Somocista-style dictatorship by the Sandinistas - Nicaragua's largest opposition party.

Nostalgia for the family has grown during the years following the end of their military rule.
Two of Somoza Garcia's sons succeeded him until the leftist Sandinista rebels overthrew General Anastasio Somoza Debayle in July 1979.
Thousands of Somoza supporters - known as "Somocista" - went into exile after the Sandinistas took over.
(Spanish)
Q: "Would you like the Somoza family to return to Nicaragua?"
A: "Of course. As does everyone. All. Because I am a Somocista since my mother brought us children into the world. I am 65 years old and, like my mother, the president and general coordinator of General Somoza, I go on doing the same. I am president and coordinator of the National Guard. And with great pride and with a lot of honour and without fear of anybody because I am afraid only of God."
SUPER CAPTION: Olga Flores, Somocista
Members of the family are seeking to recoup 350 properties worth an estimated 250 (m) million U-S dollars.
Some hope their return will mean work and an end to the impoverished misery many suffer.
Others see it as a disaster.
The mass took place as tension mounts between Nicaragua's opposing political parties.
Right-wing President Arnoldo Aleman, elected last October, has been accused of Somocista-style dictatorship by the Sandinistas - Nicaragua's largest opposition party.

(17 Sep 1978) Air attack on Esteli in Northern Nicaragua, where Sandinista Rebels were holding out (Sunday) against government forces. UPITN camera team also came under machine gun fire from the planes. The cameramen's car was forced to dive off the road and the team themselves took what cover they could. A DC-3 opened up with a machine gun, mounted in the rear cargo door. Another aircraft, a twin-tailed air commander, went in with rockets. There was no way the rebels could stop the air attack; they had to lie low and take it. Eventually, the air attack, supported by ground troops, was completely successful and the rebels had to surrender control of Esteli back to the government. It was the last major position they held and the fighting moved away to the frontier areas

(6 Jun 1979) The 10 day Sandinista offensive aimed at overthrowing Nicaraguan President Somoza spread throughout the country. Sandinista guerrilas blocked the Leon highway preventing Guardia, the National Guard, reinforcements from reaching the city. The guerrillas stole an heavy duty earthmover and dug up the road blocking a key bridge crossing. A Guardia patrol which found the barricade swept the area as refugees and a group of foreign correspondants left the city and National Guard troops advancing on Leon clashed with guerrillas at the road block.

(13 Jun 1979) RR7924A NICARAGUA THE FINAL OFFENSIVE
In contrast to the September 1978 Civil War, when an
untrained and unarmed civilian population confronted
the Nicaraguan government's National Guard, much
of the fighting this time has been done by highly
organised youths recruited bu the left-wing Sandinista
National Liberation Front (FSLN). The Sandinistas
have described the fighting as the 'final offensive'
against the Somoza family dictatorship. Last September,
the rebels suffered heavy losses and were quickly forced
to abandon territory. This year government convoys have
had difficulty in reaching the occupied cities despite
their expensive armaments and their being numerically superior.

(30 Nov 1978) A three man investigation team from the Organisation of American States (OAS) inspect the Nicaragua-Costa Rican border area near Piedras Blances to determine the extent of the damage and the responsibility for the border skirmish which took place in early November during the Nicaraguan civil war. As early as September, troops of the Nicaraguan national guard crossed over the border to Costa Rica in pursuit of Sandinista guerrillas who were trying to bring down the regime of Nicaraguan President Anastasio Somoza. At that time, the red cross in the Costa Rican capital of San Jose reported that seven Nicaraguan aircraft bombed and strafed several vehicles and ranches inside Costa Rican territory, killing or wounding at least 25 people.

(30 Sep 1997) Spanish/Nat
Hundreds of Nicaraguans participated in a Catholic mass to honour the Somoza family dictatorship which ruled the country for nearly 50 years.
The mass was the first public event involving the Somoza family since their defeat by the Sandinistas in 1979.
The event was held amid escalating tensions between the country's left and the right.
Just a few years ago this mass would have been unheard of.
But on Monday night, hundreds of Nicaraguans packed this church in San Rafael del Sur to honour the Somoza family - a dynasty of dictators who ruled Nicaragua for nearly 50 years.
The mass was an open show of support for the Somozas and marked the 41st anniversary of the death of the founding dictator, General Somoza Garcia.
Followers distributed souvenir cards with the photograph of the general - the dynasty's patriarch who was shot dead in 1956.
Two of his grandchildren attended the service.
(Spanish)
"Well we have to make it clear that we are here to claim back the land. We are not involved in politics. The Sandinistas have their own political games in what it is to maintain the properties that they have stolen. Really it is a game of injustice in the courts. And that is all that we are doing here."
SUPER CAPTION: Luis Somoza, grandson of dictator General Anastasio Somoza
Nostalgia for the family has grown during the years following the end of their military rule.
Two of Somoza Garcia's sons succeeded him until the leftist Sandinista rebels overthrew General Anastasio Somoza Debayle in July 1979.
Thousands of Somoza supporters - known as "Somocista" - went into exile after the Sandinistas took over.
(Spanish)
Q: "Would you like the Somoza family to return to Nicaragua?"
A: "Of course. As does everyone. All. Because I am a Somocista since my mother brought us children into the world. I am 65 years old and, like my mother, the president and general coordinator of General Somoza, I go on doing the same. I am president and coordinator of the National Guard. And with great pride and with a lot of honour and without fear of anybody because I am afraid only of God."
SUPER CAPTION: Olga Flores, Somocista
Members of the family are seeking to recoup 350 properties worth an estimated 250 (m) million U-S dollars.
Some hope their return will mean work and an end to the impoverished misery many suffer.
Others see it as a disaster.
The mass took place as tension mounts between Nicaragua's opposing political parties.
Right-wing President Arnoldo Aleman, elected last October, has been accused of Somocista-style dictatorship by the Sandinistas - Nicaragua's largest opposition party.

(17 Sep 1978) Air attack on Esteli in Northern Nicaragua, where Sandinista Rebels were holding out (Sunday) against government forces. UPITN camera team also came under machine gun fire from the planes. The cameramen's car was forced to dive off the road and the team themselves took what cover they could. A DC-3 opened up with a machine gun, mounted in the rear cargo door. Another aircraft, a twin-tailed air commander, went in with rockets. There was no way the rebels could stop the air attack; they had to lie low and take it. Eventually, the air attack, supported by ground troops, was completely successful and the rebels had to surrender control of Esteli back to the government. It was the last major position they held and the fighting moved away to the frontier areas

The Iraqi National Guard (NG; Arabic:الحرس الوطني, al-Ḥaras al-Waṭanī) was part of the new Military of Iraq but has since been absorbed by the Iraqi Army controlled by the interim government. Following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, United States Coalition Provisional Authority Chief Paul Bremer disbanded the military apparatus of Iraq as existed under Saddam Hussein. As the security situation in occupied Iraq deteriorated and the Iraqi insurgency became increasingly active, the U.S. set up, recruited and trained the new security force in order to combat the insurgency. Despite attacks by insurgent and terrorist groups, the Iraqi National Guard was able to recruit many Iraqis from the vast ranks of the unemployed. The force has been used to assist Coalition troops in combatting the insurgency. However, there have been several instances where they have refused to take military action against fellow Iraqis, such as in Fallujah, deserted, or allegedly aided the resistance.
