The {{nihongo|'''Golan'''|ゴラン|Goran|the '''Provident''' in the Viz's English edition}} organization is a militia composed of specially trained commandos that belonged to the fictional Red Beret special forces unit prior to the nuclear war. In the manga, the members of Golan think of themselves as [[wikipedia:chosen people|God's chosen]] and are seeking to create {{nihongo|'''God's Land'''|ゴッドランド|Goddorando|'''Providence''' in Viz's English edition}}, a nation for their elite race, by capturing young women and girls for procreation of their race. After Kenshiro rescues Lin from a group of Golan commandos and witnesses the horrors the organization beforehand, Ken decides to infiltrate the group's training camp and confronts their drill instructor, the [[Mad Sarge]], a knife fighting expert and user of blood squirting needles. After Ken defeats him, he comes face to face with the group's founder and leader, the '''[[Colonel]]''', who claims to be a psychic but in reality reads his opponents moves by observing their slight body movements, and an expert of the ''[[Nanto Muon Ken]]'' (South Star Silent Fist) style, which conceals his presence. Other members include the '''[[Major]]''', who is armed with razor whip (a [[wikipedia:garrote|garrote]] in the manga).

In the TV series, the Golan organization became {{nihongo|'''God's Army'''|ゴッドアーミー|Goddo Āmī}}, which is revealed to be one of King's subordinate organizations whose members worship Shin as their deity. in the 1986 movie, the Colonel appears as the security leader of Shin's palace in Southern Cross.
