The Guardia Nacional (English: National Guard) is a defunct military agency active in Nicaragua prior to the 1979 Nicaraguan Revolution; it is a combination of police, army, and navy in one institution (the air force was made a separate component in 1938). It was originally created in 1927 during the occupation of that country by the United States.
