Home Guard

Totally different outfits - Dad's Army is a good training aid for this question!!!

The Home Guard were the final military reserve for dealing with invasion. They dealt with security patrols, and so on, but their real job would not come unless and until their was an ivasion.

The ARP's dealt with air raids, lights showing, and, I think, fire-watching.

I can't be sure that people didn't do both roles, but I wouldn't have thought so.
