In the RPG
The Stormwind City Guard (or just the City Guard)[4] patrols the streets and walls of the capital of Azeroth keeping the public safe. This smaller unit would patrol the street during times of peace. During times of war, several of these units combine under a subcommander, who in turn operates under the auspices of a commander-in-chief. If a fighting force were to penetrate the walls of Stormwind, these smaller units would engage intruders, buying time for the army to respond. As a note, the Stormwind army can also muster together quickly and provide aerial and magical support for the city's militia during an invasion.[5]
Sergeant Mandred Grummel is a commander within the guard[5] and Cristof Dungalion is a guard.[6]

- The hierarchy of the Stormwind's armies is unclear. The Stormwind City Guard is either a separate force like real life police or a part of the Stormwind Army.
- General Marcus Jonathan and General Hammond Clay are probably members or leaders of the City Guard. As such, the Stormwind Defense may be an alternate name.
- The Stormwind Harbor Guards may be a subgroup.
