Ulster Vanguard was a pressure group within unionism in Northern Ireland, launched under the leadership of William Craig at the beginning of 1972. It had its own paramilitary wing, the Vanguard Service Corps. In 1973 it became the Vanguard Unionist Progressive Party, but it re-emerged in 1978 when the party was wound up.[1]
