Romanian National Guards

Romanian National Guards were paramilitary groups affiliated to Romanian National Council in Transylvania, Banat, and Partium during November and December 1918. Composed of demobilized Romanian soldiers and officers from the Austro-Hungarian Army, they provided law enforcing in the areas with significant Romanian population, and ensured the security of political meetings.

Although no official data was released, conservative estimates put the number of Romanian National Guard groups active during this time to 3,700 or higher.
