High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Iraqi Republican Guard was a branch of the Iraqi military, which later became the Republican Guard Corps and then the Republican Guard Forces Command. Formed in 1980, it was originally created to be Saddam Hussein's bodyguard but was expanded into a large military force. It was disbanded along with the rest of Iraqi Army after the Second Gulf War by Coalition Provisional Authority. Members were (mainly but not exclusively) highly motivated volunteers rather than conscripts. They received bonuses, new cars and subsidized housing, and received greater training than the regular army. The force's last commander was Qusay Hussein son of Saddam Hussein. Saddam Hussein was so confident about the capability of the guard that he had said: "In history when they write about Napoleon's guard, they will arrange them next to the Republican Guard of Iraq."
