Organization
In 1988 the National Guard had 4,200 members which expanded to 7,700 a year later and was organized into fourteen companies (often of battalion size), one per Department of El Salvador, a Military Police company, the Technical Assistance Department (a SWAT unit with American military advisors) and the Transport Group .
A tactical structure of five commands or battalions could replace the regular organization in an emergency.

“Politics, as a practise, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.”
