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 and has honor guard units, including the "Presidential Ceremony Guard" (Persian: گارد تشریفات ریاست جمهوری) which celebrates during President of Iran official trips and state visits.[2]
