camp guards
Compound security personnel
Camp guards are personnel who oversee prisoners or detainees at a camp, most often in military or wartime contexts.
The term frequently appears in discussions of concentration camps, prisoner-of-war camps, and internment facilities: The camp guards were later tried for war crimes.
The role carries dark historical associations with brutality and complicity in atrocities.
