The other infantry forces the Hungarian had at hand for home defence
were the various border troops. These included the Border Guard, Border
Police, Mountain Border Police and the traditional border levy of the
Székler Command. The Border Police were part of the Ministry of the
Interior and their roles included customs and excise, and immigration
control, but in times of war they could be mobilised to defend the
border. The Mountain Border Police were mobilised in times of war to
provide the two Hungarian Mountain Brigades and new Border Guard units
were raised to replace them. The Border Guard came under the Army and
also patrolled the borders in peacetime, but they also provided fortress
companies for the guarding of strategic passes and fought if Hungary
was invaded.
