Ohai!
I don't have a campaign or a speech written, so I'll just braindump the basics as they come to me.
Military Experience: jo already summarized it pretty well. I started military gameplay about 4 years ago, and have done pretty much anything from raiding to defending to griefing, to being a grunt soldier to leading troops into huge operations to planning those same operations. I can't think of anything I haven't done before in this area. For the most part I have been involved in the "defender" aspect of the typical R/D dichotomy, and I've also done quite a few antifa operations.
Cabinet Experience: The Guard Director is a member of Cabinet. While I have not served in the Lazarus Cabinet, I've served extensively in the TSP Cabinet (including a whopping 5 terms as Prime Minister), so the day-to-day of Cabinet business is not new to me.
Operations: The mandate of the Guard is very limited (by design), nonetheless there are ample opportunities for the Guard to perform military operations. In practice, the Guard will (for the most part) split its time between fulfilling our FA objectives in the warzones and performing various antifa operations. I will allow the Guard to join on antifa ops even when NPO is involved.
Internals: As I have not been a member of the Guard, I cannot with authority say what needs to be done here at this time. I know how to run a military, however; I will ensure there is a roster, training materials, and a sensible, opsec-compliant setup on the Guard's discord server. Recruitment efforts will surely be necessary, and I look forward to working with Melons on that front.
Goals: My intent is to make sure the Guard is structured sensibly, and to ensure that there are at least two individuals within the Guard that have all the officer qualifications and could take over the job of the Guard Director with a running start. As with my Speakership, once that time comes, I will coordinate with the Prime Minister to find the best time to pass on the Guard to a newer member.

Well, that's a quick rundown. Ask me anything!
