GUARD (Non-Competitive)
An old and unqualified title, covering static security at a State building or installation — controlling entry, watching alarms, patrolling a perimeter. Most of the work it once described now sits under more specific security and correctional titles.
The title is non-competitive, meaning qualification is checked against stated requirements rather than by ranked examination. No specification is published at this code.
