The military policeThe Military Police is the most prestigious due to their work allowing them to live safely within the Inner Wall, abundant resources, and higher authority over other military sectors. However, in reality it is the most corrupted military sector due to a lack of oversight compared to the other sectors of the military. Due to their misuse and abuse of authority, the Military Police Brigade is also at odds with the Garrison and especially with the Survey Corps. Only the top ten alumni from trainee squads can apply for the Military Police. The Military Police Brigade is the primary police force within human territory. Not only do they maintain order, they serve as the king's guard. Since they do not normally come in contact with Titans, they must have special permission to use 3D Maneuver Gear and usually carry firearms such as rifles instead. They are also in charge of tax collection and land distribution.They usually abuse these duties to exploit resources and food from civilians.
. The Military Police's task of guarding the Survey Corps is abandoned. Nile Dok orders the Military Police to evacuate all civilians. However these duties were abused by the Military Police Brigade officials, as it is in their nature. Primary duties also include supervising of the Training Corps, monitoring the Garrison, and directing fire-fighting operations. |
the scouting legionThe Survey Corps, also known as the Scouting Legion, Scout Regiment, or Recon Corps, is the driving force of the plot and story as it is the branch of the Military most actively involved in direct Titan combat, Titan study, human expansion, and outside exploration. They have the best soldiers (not to be compared with the Top 10 who joins the Military Police), and are the most skilled in using the 3D Manuever Gear. But, despite having little success, they still symbolize 'the hope of mankind' with their insignia being known as 'the Wings of Freedom'. They hope that someday, their efforts will change the world and they'll be able to recover what has been taken away from humanity. This military division is in charge of the exploration and the eventual reclamation of human territory from Titan-infested lands through the act of setting up small bases, camps, resupply stations, and extra fortifications in available areas outside the walls. Prior to the breach of Wall Maria, they explored the land outside of the Wall, though never getting that far due to the heavy casualties suffered from titan attacks.Presently, they have been laying down supplies from Wall Rose Trost District to Wall Maria Shiganshina District in preparation to seal the breach and reclaim Wall Maria. A more recent unofficial duty has been Titan observation and research. Given the safer nature of exploring within Wall territory (since Titans can only enter the Wall at one point), a wealth of information has been revealed such as their tolerance of pain, sunlight dependence, and intelligence.

the stationary guardThe Garrison, also known as the Stationary Guard, is the largest of the Military divisions which protects and maintains order within the Walls. Given the fatality rate of the Survey Corps and the limited entry of the Military Police, most soldiers join the Garrison. As they often have close contact with both Titans and human civilians, they are proficient over a wide variety of tasks such as Titan combat, cannonading, security detail, crowd control, and rifle usage. The only case of members of the Garrison coming into contact with Titans will come from a direct confrontation due to a breach in the Wall. As such, their tactics are intertwined with civilian evacuation and Titan defences. Though in special cases the Vanguard may be extremely rarely deployed beyond the wall usually alongside the Survey Corps to assist in operations of special need such as when Eren had been captured the Garrison rode alongside the Survey Corps also the Military Police to save Eren though inflicting heavy casualties.In the case of a breach, the Garrison must mobilize its men to confront the Titans coming in. If there is no way to block the breach, then direct battle must be conducted to give enough time for all civilians in the town to escape. Upon the successful evacuation of all civilians, the gate will be closed and the district will be quarantined. It is only then that all the soldiers may escape to the safety of the Wall. The Garrison soldiers will be deployed depending on their skill level, with the most junior soldiers facing the Titans directly at the breach and the elite guarding the innermost point of the city
