Kheshig (; ) were the imperial guard and shock troops for Mongol royalty in the Mongol Empire—particularly for Genghis Khan and his wife Börte. Their primary purpose was to act as bodyguards for emperors and other nobles. They were divided into two subgroups: the day guard (Torguud) and the night guard (Khebtuul). They were distinct from the regular army and would not go to battle with them, instead staying back on guard duty. Their supreme commander was called the Cherbi.

The Reichssicherheitsdienst (RSD, lit. "Reich security service") was an SS security force of Nazi Germany. Originally bodyguards for Adolf Hitler, it later provided men for the protection of other high-ranking leaders of the Nazi regime. The group, although similar in name, was completely separate from the Sicherheitsdienst (SD), which was the formal intelligence service for the SS, the Nazi Party and later Nazi Germany.
