Central Provost of Islamic Republic of Iran Army (Persian: دژبان مرکز ارتش جمهوری اسلامی ایران; Dežbān Markaz), acronymed DEJAJA (Persian: دژاجا), is the provost and military police with an authority within all military branches of Islamic Republic of Iran Army (Artesh). The provost is a subdivision to the military's Joint Staff and has seniority over designated provosts —like the "Sea Police" (Persian: پلیس دریائی) of Navy and the "Air Police" (Persian: پلیس هوائی) in the Air Force.
The provost is also responsible for performing ceremonial duties; it has honor guard units, including the "Presidential Ceremony Guard" (Persian: گارد تشریفات ریاست جمهوری), which maneuvers during official trips of the President of Iran and during visits by heads of state.[2]
