The Republic of Texas Guard formed during the Convention of States that restructured the national government. It brought together the combined State and National Guards of Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and West Louisiana to face the future they would forge together. It was nearly a hundred thousand soldiers strong and included standard infantry, battle armored mobile infantry, hovercraft, small ships, tanks, drones, air transport, and fighter craft. The Guard remained a fundamental and final reserve of every aspect of the Texas military, and they sent a sizeable force to Indonesia to face down the Chinese advance. They also moved on Singapore to deal with the last of the Rogue AIs. Those actions bought them a further increase in reputation, though they most often deployed against natural disasters in the following centuries. Many would wonder if they had lost their edge as humanity went to the stars.
