Sam Berner
: make it "law enforcers" because it looks to me from context like some form of police

Arabic term (edited):
�������
reinforcement, back up force
In the absence of full context, there is no way to provide a certain answer. The literal meaning of أعوان points to a team that would provide help, aid, support, etc., but the explanation given points to a force that would attempt to overcome armed and dangerous outlaws. The only terms that I could think of that would satisfy both meanings at the same time are "reinforcement" and "back up force."
Discussion
������� are the men who gave aid to ������ that time. would be so much similer to policemen nowadays , i guess.
thank you again for your help and many thanks to all of you
