Home guard is a title given to variousmilitary organizations at various times, with the implication of an emergency orreserve force raised for local defense.
The term "home guard" was first officially used in theAmerican Civil War, starting with units formed by German immigrants in Missouri, and may derive from possible historical use of the termHeimwehr ("home guard") to describe units officially known asLandwehr ("country guard"), or from an attempted translation oflandwehr.
