The Sri Lanka Civil Security Force (also known as the Civil Defence Force, originally the National Home Guard Service) is a paramilitary force which is tasked as an auxiliary to the Sri Lanka Police. It is directed by the Civil Security Department. The activities relating to the Home Guard Service were established under the Mobilization of Supplementary Force Act No. 40 of 1985. The local home guards came under the command of the local police. They are all volunteers deployed in the their home towns and villages, to protect the civilian population from attacks by the LTTE. With the establishment of Civil Security Department, the Home Guards were re-designated as the Civil Security Force and came under the purview of the Ministry of Defence. The force is distinct from the Sri Lanka National Guard, which is a volunteer reserve regiment of the Sri Lanka Army. The current Director General of the Civil Security Department is Mr Chandrarathne Pallegama (BSc, PGD, MAAT, MA). ==Functions== The functions to be performed by Home Guards are listed below: *To serve as Auxiliary to the Police and generally help in maintaining internal security. *To serve in static defensive duties such as man check points, guard low priority buildings, installations, guard villages etc. *To function as an Emergency Force intended for special tasks directly or indirectly connected with the defence of the country. *To help the community in any kind of Emergency—such as any natural Calamity. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sri Lanka Civil Security Force」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
