Safeguard Hoodie and T-Shirt
Some stand watch so that everyone else can sleep
Safeguard is for the sentries and the security teams, on the wall through the hours when nothing is supposed to happen.

The quiet discipline of guard duty
Guard duty is the least dramatic job there is and the hardest one to do properly. Nothing happens for hours, and the whole point is that you stay just as sharp at the end of that as at the start.
The design is drawn for the hours themselves, not for an incident. There is no incident. That is the result.
Nothing is supposed to happen, and they make sure it does not
A sentry is measured by an absence. If the night passes without anything at all, the job was done perfectly, and there is nothing to show for it and nothing to tell anyone afterwards. It is the only role where success looks exactly like doing nothing.
Success in this job looks exactly like nothing happening.
The difficulty is entirely in attention. Cold, dark, quiet and long is the combination that makes people stop looking properly, and everything about guard routines exists to fight that. Rotations, checks, patterns you break on purpose so the pattern cannot be read from outside.
This one gets worn by sentries, by security teams, and by anyone who has spent a night making sure the rest of a camp could stop paying attention for a few hours.
Same fabric and cut under Protect Us and Light Infantry, so sizing carries over one to one.
