  GUARDS - LoveToKnow Article on GUARDS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The importance of such guards regiments in the general development of organized armies is illustrated by a declaration of the House of Commons, made in 1674, that the militia, the pensioners and the Yeomen of the Guard were the only lawful armed forces in the realm.

Similar forces, the Noble Guard and the Swiss Guard, are maintained in the Vatican: The court troops of Spain are called halberdiers and armed with the halbert.

At first, Noble Eagle was an emergency stop-gap defense anchored by combat air patrols (CAPs) over major cities, launched in the wake of the terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C. Now, Noble Eagle has become a steady-state affair.
One official said Noble Eagle was “designed for a sprint” but that air defenders are now “in a marathon.” This changeover has been particularly difficult for the Air National Guard, which handles the lion’s share of the alert mission.

Some consideration may be made if the requestor is a Kaldoran noble of an allied military/religious unit and its doubtful the Watch would impose any penalty if a guard ignored the regulation in such a circumstance, but compliance with the request is not mandatory.
Do not allow the noble to dictate what punishment will be forthcoming, they don't have that right either, they can press the charge, but the law enforcers of the kingdom pronounce the sentence.
