    The GOLAN organization.
    Golan (ゴラン, Goran)
    The Golan (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 God's chosen and are seeking to create God's Land (ゴッドラド, Goddorando, Providence in Viz's English edition), a nation for their elite race, by capturing young women and girls for procreation. One of their controlled cities is Oasis for food and water.
    After Kenshiro rescues Lin from a group of Golan commandos and witnesses the horrors of 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 subtle body movements, and an expert of the Nanto Muon Ken (南斗無音拳, South Dipper Silent Fist) style, which conceals his presence. Other members include the Major, who is armed with razor whip (a garrotte in the manga).

    In the TV series, the Golan organization became 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.

    1986 movie
