The UAE Presidential Guard (UAE-PG) (Arabic: حرس الرئاسة لدولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة) is an elite military special operations unit of the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces. It is a military unit that operates outside the conventional framework of traditional armed forces. Its estimated 12,000 personnel[1] are considered to be a premier fighting unit in the Middle East and the Arab world.[2]
Its duties include protecting the Ra'is albeit they are not limited by that role.[3]
