With their strict discipline and professional dedication, a group of female guards has impressed colleagues and become a peculiar feature on the landscape at the Navy Command Academy in Nanjing, capital city of east China’s Jiangsu Province.

In 2012, to enhance the regulation of troops’ work, study and routine, three female soldiers with outstanding grades and overall qualities were selected to form a group to keep watch over the institution. Before that, only male soldiers had received such opportunities. Currently, the group has expanded to 10 female soldiers.
