Because [[Westarctica]] is largely a peaceful nation, the Royal Guards are seldom called to active service. However, they are always on alert to defend the nation against potential threats and may be activated on short notice. | |||
===Invasion of Calsahara=== | |||
The [[Invasion of Calsahara]] is the single largest conflict participated in by the Royal Guards. Although there were two deserters prior to the start of hostilities, the remaining four guardsmen successfully captured the Calsaharan cities of [[Otisburg]] and [[Hooverville]], retrieved the Seal of Calsahara, and generally served with distinction in the process of liberating [[Colony of Calsahara|Calsahara]] from its negligent rulers. | The [[Invasion of Calsahara]] is the single largest conflict participated in by the Royal Guards.

In October 2020, the Naval Detachment of the Royal Guards became part of the Micronational Outer Space Taskforce (MOST), a loose alliance organized by [[Slabovia]] with the goal of increasing leadership and team-building skills among [[micronation]]s. On 22 November 2020, a three person crew from Westarctica participated in [[Exercise: MOSTLY HARMLESS]] onboard the WS ''Endurance'' spaceship bridge simulator. This was a follow-up mission to [[Exercise: Westarctic Chill]], which had occurred the previous year. | In October 2020, the Naval Detachment of the Royal Guards became part of the Micronational Outer Space Taskforce (MOST), a loose alliance organized by [[Slabovia]] with the goal of increasing leadership and team-building skills among [[micronation]]s.

===War With Raphania=== | |||
After the leader of [[Raphania]], Grand Emir Charles I, declared war upon Westarctica, citing his belief that their occupation of Calsahara in 2017 was an illegitimate act, Grand Duke Travis mobilized the Royal Guards and made immediate preparations for a state of war. A Royal Decree was issued on 26 October 2022 formally declaring war against Raphania. The Royal Guards occupied Raphania in [[Operation: MOCK TORTOISE]] on 10 November. This conflict became known as the [[Westarctica-Raphania War]] and resulted in Raphania becoming a colony of [[Westarctica]]. | |||
