The Anti-Raider and Mutant Scum (A.R.M.S.) Squad of the Free Republic of Texas. The A.R.M.S. Squad serves as a border patrol along with specialised tasks such as eradicating raider hideouts within Texas and deterring mutant attack parties. Their primary headquarters is located directly on the western border in El Paso, Texas.
The main duty of the A.R.M.S. Squad is to patrol the widely disputed borders of the Free Republic of Texas. The majority of A.R.M.S. Squad agents are employed as Border Guards. Border Guards most commonly patrol the borders between the numerous watchtowers on horseback in two-man teams. The watchtowers are manned around the clock by elite sharpshooter agents and their spotters. The A.R.M.S. Squad also utilize units with advanced and specialized training. Automobiles, motorcycles and boats are rarely used for regular patrol duties, but certain stretches of the border demand their use and the A.R.M.S. Squad maintains a regular fleet. It is not uncommon for Texas Rangers or military forces to assist the A.R.M.S. Squad in times of increased or impending threats.
It is known that former leader of the New Nevada Desert Rangers, Billy Bob Caine AKA Armorjerk, was also once Chief of the A.R.M.S. Squad. Why he left his position is unknown.
