Could it be that he is referring to an extension of your National Guard, or a militia as mentioned in your 2A?
On the other hand, when you do think back on WW2:
In the latter stages of the war the Germans needed additional men to control the Dutch populace. They dressed up a group of "loyal" men in black and named them "Landwacht", meaning LandGuard. These men were armed with the hunting shotguns which the Germans confiscated from the Dutch farmers. As a result of that they were nicknamed "Jan Hagel", meaning John Buckshot by the Dutch people.
He isn't referring to a LandGuard, I hope?
