The Department of Dwarven Veteran's Affairs (also known as the Fortress/Royal Guard), is an organisation dedicated to helping those brave Template:L that have become injured to the point of combat ineffectiveness, and are also relatively unskilled (so putting them into the Template:L to make +goblin bone Template:Ls+ until the end of time is out of the question). They are usually relieved of promoted up from their military duties due to some Template:L turning up and wanting to be all protected (until, of course, said Template:L makes one-too-many demands and find themselves in the Template:L).

These dwarves who have sustained their injuries in whatever way, whether through physical combat, Template:L, sparring matches, Template:L snipers, Template:L, Template:L or otherwise, may be promoted through the military menu. The fortress guard itself doesn't do much, apart from telling the various nobles that they are not in danger of Template:L, assisting the Template:L (now Template:L) in Template:L and spending all their spare time Template:L. The sparring can be a problem, in that some dwarf may receive a speedy recovery (you know the ones), but has meanwhile trained himself up to an elite level - which prohibits his removal from the payrolls of DDVA. Thus active dwarves that can spend their time better Template:L, are now only assisting with some engraver who is too busy smashing something other than a Template:L over a Template:L.
