The Ministry of Defence Guard Service (MGS) is part of the Defence Infrastructure Organisation of the Ministry of Defence, it provides Defence establishments across the United Kingdom with guarding and patrol services and was established as a response to the Deal Bombing. Formed in 1992.
The Guard Service is one of the few remaining uniformed Civil Service agencies within the UK and has been named an elite guarding service within the United Kingdom.
They provide the highest level of security to Defence assets supporting critical Defence assets.
The MGS deals with access and pass control, initial response, key control, vehicle and personnel searching, security patrols of buildings and perimeter fences, dog patrols, CCTV, and alarm monitoring.
It also performs other duties like helicopter marshalling, first aid provision, mail and baggage scanning, security sweeps, and health and safety guidance and the cordoning off of suspected bomb threats.
From 2004 to 2013 MGS and Ministry of Defence Police worked in the Ministry of Defence Police and Guarding Agency (MDPGA).
In April 2013, the MDPGA was disbanded, and the MGS joined the Defence Infrastructure Organisation.
