The Vanguard 7 Combat Brigade is a unit which operates out of Fort Wolfe in Hesperia. It is under Vanguard Special Forces Command, and is comrpised of several different elements, either actual special forces unit or their support elements. Some of its members are transfers from the old New Luna Militia, but since the merging of the Vanguard and NLM many native Vanguard soldiers have joined. It used to run out of Hancock Station, and currently the VAN Franklin, a Wolf class destroyer with a contingent of special forces soldiers, is based there.
