Growing from their roots as two armor and infantry regiments, over time the Guards became a parade unit. By the time [[Warex Liao]] was named [[Chancellor]] the Liao Guards were useless from a military perspective, with their equipment's missile launchers replaced by fireworks launchers. During an inspection of the Liao Guards, criminals attempted to kidnap the Chancellor's cousin. The local police force captured the culprits while officers and troops of the Liao Guard hid in cover. Chancellor Warex Liao relieved all the Liao Guards officers and sent the Liao Guards units on an eight year tour of the [[Periphery]]. This eliminated pirates along the Confederation's border and allowed the Guards to survive their grueling training regimen. After eight years, most of the incompetents were gone, and the Guards regiments were significantly more skilled.<ref name=FR2765:CCp11/> ===Succession War Era=== The Liao Guards sold themselves dearly in the [[Succession War era|Succession War Era]].
