What if the United States, for some reason in the 20th century, and with a POD of 1946, decided to not only expand the United States Constabulary in Germany, but also decided, due to bullying of the US Congress into acceptance (McCarthy conceded realizing it could be useful in anti-Communist activities), make it a permanent institution in America itself, turn it into a military force but akin to the Coast Guard?
They also took inspiration to their own creation in the Philippines: the Philippine Constabulary.
Imagine Constabularymen doing the policing in the Civil Rights movement, guarding the nuclear missile silos, policing the remaining US territories who do not have their own police forces as well US personnel in Antarctica, counterinsurgency in Vietnam and Iraq, doing the bulk of UN peacekeeping, fighting the militia movement, suppressing riots, and in the case of January 6, 2021, forcibly counter-storming the Capitol with full battlegear with some moderate casualties on Constabulary side and heavy casualties on the other. Naturally, this won't endear them to anybody.
