Due to the small-squad infrastructure of the Provincial Guard and the scattered nature of their deployment, no scheduled martial training is provided. There is a small training yard at the Tracker's Lodge where Trackers who wish to sharpen their combat skills are encouraged to do so. Extensive field training is provided to new recruits upon acceptance into the Provincial Guard, and is detailed below.

 Uniform on patrol does not have to conform with the formal dress standards of the guard, though the green cloak is required, as is the insignia pin. Alternately, a pair of green armbands embroidered with the guard insignia and rank can be substituted for the cloak in hot weather. The rank pin can be worn on the breast or the belt if the cloak is not worn, so long as it is prominently displayed. Individual equipment and armor are allowed on patrol. Because the guards tend to be highly trained in their unique abilities, equipment for patrols is not standardized and left to the individual guard's discretion.

-Recruitment occurs from within the servicemen of Transdariania, and the Provincial Guard will never recruit a walk-on. Seeing as their purview is so wide, and purpose so great, only the best are allowed to join their ranks. Applications are never accepted, but instead guardsmen/bannermen/sailors are hand-picked by their superiors for this station. Declining is always an option, though rarely occurs. Training takes roughly six months following recruitment. It covers every ounce of knowledge needed to be safe and effective in the field, though a fresh recruit will also be given a veteran as a mentor. Only after being given a pass by the veteran and the Provincial Guard's administration will the recruit be allowed to venture off independently and to their own assignments.

Training time for recruits varies depending on their level of skill, but takes roughly six months following recruitment. It covers every ounce of knowledge needed to be safe and effective in the field. Field tests or written exams may be utilized to speed the training process in the case that a recruit's knowledge is deemed to be advanced, and by these means the orientation and mentorship programs may be bypassed to more quickly place recruits in the field for assignment.
 These assignments include an absolute slew of activities, from reconnaissance to shock troop-esque raids, but each is well within the skills of the chosen Trackers for the job. The Provincial Guard will, notably, be recruited on occasion into a war, but only if the forces supplied by Floxods are not sufficient for the war effort. This has never occurred in the past.

	The number of Provincial Guards patrolling a given region is dependent on the population of the region in question, but the general ratio of Provincial Guards to Civic Guards is approximately 1:4, which is to say that for every four Civic Guards employed by a town or settlement, one Provincial Guard will base operations from that location. Provincial Guards typically deploy on patrol alone or in pairs, and for that reason rank among the Provincial Guard is largely a recognition of merit rather than a position of command. Notable exceptions to this rule occur at or above the rank of Ranger-Lieutenant/Spell-Lieutenant. Each town or settlement employing four or more Provincial Guardsmen is overseen by a guardsman holding the rank of Ranger-Lieutenant/Spell-Lieutenant or higher, who assigns patrol-routes and communicates by runner with the High Ranger-General in Drache. No Guardsman holding a lesser rank than Ranger-Lieutenant/Spell-Lieutenant may oversee the Provincial Guard stationed in any town or settlement.

			=Uniform Regulations=

			Guard formal/parade/banquet uniform is black tunic, pants and boots, with a forest green stripe down the outside seams of the pants, and a forest green cloak clasped by a pin that denotes rank. The basic insignia of the guard is wrought of bronze in the shape of a drawn recurve bow with black enamel inlaid in the negative space except for a bronze dragon, which has different symbols around that indicate the rank of the guard (As indicated on the table below). Forest green armbands embroidered with the guard insignia and the individual's rank in bronze thread are worn on the upper arms over the tunic. Officers above the rank of Corporal are given a bronze-braided rope worn on the left shoulder, and officers above Lieutenant are given a bronze silk sash to wear under their swordbelts. Decorations and medals are worn on the right breast. Trackers are issued ceremonial hunting horns, while Non-Commissioned Officers are issued ornate ceremonial shortbows. Commissioned Officers are issued ceremonial curved recurve bows. If approved by the captain, issued ceremonial equipment may be replaced with other pieces that the guardsman supplies for the formal uniform.

			Magic-using Guards may substitute a black robe for the tunic and trousers of their dress uniform if they so desire. The robe has forest green trim at the cuffs, collar, and hem for guardsmen; officers' robes have a pattern of dragon scales embroidered on the trim in bronze thread. Spellcasters carry carved wooden staves as ceremonial weapons; officers carry staves with a bronze dragon's head ornament atop it.
