Guards (also known as security guards) are people employed by an adversary to protect buildings or other physical infrastructure.
If guards detect an unauthorized presence in the area under their watch, they can decide to intervene themselves or call for outside help. Depending on the context, they may be armed with lethal or non-lethal weapons.
