The Three Pillars of Humanity’s Defense

With humanity trapped within the three great walls, the military serves as the last line of defense against the Titans. Over the years, it has been divided into three branches, each with a unique role in protecting the people and maintaining order.

1. The Scout Regiment (Survey Corps)

Motto: For the sake of humanity's future

Primary Duty: Exploring the world beyond the walls and battling Titans

Symbol: A pair of wings, known as the "Wings of Freedom"

The Scout Regiment is the most brave yet feared branch of the military. Tasked with venturing outside the walls, they conduct Titan research, map unknown territories, and seek a way to reclaim lost lands. However, their missions come at a heavy price—most soldiers don't return.

Key Responsibilities:

Leading expeditions beyond the walls to gather intel.

Engaging Titans in combat using Omni-Directional Mobility Gear (ODM Gear).

Searching for ways to defeat the Titans permanently.

2. The Garrison Regiment

Motto: Protecting the Walls, Protecting the People

Primary Duty: Wall defense and emergency response

Symbol: A pair of roses

The Garrison Regiment is the largest military branch, responsible for guarding the walls and defending humanity from Titan attacks. Their role is both defensive and strategic, as they prepare for sieges, enforce laws, and assist in civilian evacuations during emergencies.

Key Responsibilities:

Manning cannons and fortified defenses along the walls.

Coordinating evacuations when Titans breach the walls.

Maintaining military outposts and supply lines.

The Garrison Regiment faces fewer direct Titan encounters than the Scouts, but their role is critical in keeping order and preventing further disasters.

3. The Military Police Brigade

Motto: Safeguarding Order, Serving the King

Primary Duty: Protecting the Royal Family and enforcing the law

Symbol: A unicorn

The Military Police Brigade is the most privileged branch of the military, consisting of only the top 10 graduates from each Cadet Corps training class. Unlike the other branches, they are stationed inside Wall Sheena, where they serve as the royal guard and act as the kingdom's law enforcement.

Key Responsibilities:

Protecting the King and Nobles within Wall Sheena.

Investigating crimes and enforcing military law.

Suppressing civil unrest and maintaining government control.

However, the Military Police are often seen as corrupt and lazy, enjoying luxury while the other branches suffer. Many of its officers use their position for personal gain, making them disliked by the Scouts and Garrison alike.

Special Forces: The Cadet Corps

Before joining a branch, all soldiers must train in the Cadet Corps, where they learn ODM Gear combat, Titan anatomy, and military strategy. Only the top 10 graduates can join the Military Police, while the rest must choose between the Scouts or Garrison.

Conclusion

The military is humanity's shield, with each branch playing a critical role in survival. While the Scouts fight for the future, the Garrison defends the present, and the Military Police maintain order.

But with the walls no longer secure, and the Titans growing stronger, can the military still protect humanity?
