In 2005, Westarctica's [[Minister of Defense]], [[Duke of Waesche|Wolf Tulier]], suggested that the nation would benefit from the creation of an officer corps that could be joined by military-minded citizens as a sort of fraternal organization. As an added benefit, this corps could conceivably be mobilized as a fighting force in the unlikely event of an armed attack against Westarctica's interests. | In 2005, Westarctica's [[Minister of Defense]], [[Duke of Waesche|Wolf Tulier]], suggested that the nation would benefit from the creation of an officer corps that could be joined by military-minded citizens as a sort of fraternal organization.

In October 2017, [[Grand Duke Travis]] was making preparations for the [[Invasion of Calsahara|liberation of Calsahara]], a sovereign [[micronation]] in central California. As he began to recruit for his invasion force, he realized the unit would require a name. As the soldiers were expected to answer directly to the Crown and were primarily a defensive unit, the Grand Duke chose the name "Westarctican Royal Guards." | In October 2017, [[Grand Duke Travis]] was making preparations for the [[Invasion of Calsahara|liberation of Calsahara]], a sovereign [[micronation]] in central California.
