Pasukan kavaleri dan infanteri ini membentuk pasukan pertahanan dan keamanan di wilayah metropolitan dan ditugaskan untuk melindungi pos terdepan di luar tembok Kuwait.
Militer Kuwait terdiri dari beberapa pasukan pertahanan gabungan. Badan pengaturnya adalah [[Kementerian Pertahanan Kuwait|Kementerian Pertahanan]], [[Kementerian Dalam Negeri Kuwait|Kementerian Dalam Negeri]], [[Garda Nasional Kuwait|Garda Nasional]], dan [[Direktorat Pemadam Kebakaran Kuwait]]. Emir Kuwait adalah [[panglima tertinggi]] dari semua pasukan pertahanan secara default.
