West Wing Guard (uniformed usher)

A uniformed White House guard who enforces access and preserves physical order within the West Wing. The guard performs routine security and ushering duties—announcing arrivals, admitting visitors into sight-lines, and deferring to senior staff—while remaining deliberately unobtrusive. Encounters in the current episode emphasize procedural steadiness: the guard ushers a process server into the hallway on verbal cue, mediates entry questions from Joshua Lyman, and sustains decorum as private levity collapses into institutional urgency. The role anchors movement and protocol without engaging in policy or emotional stakes.
