This guard platoon (護衛小隊, goei shōtai) is a group of Konohagakure shinobi dedicated towards the protection of the Hokage. The group's current complement, three in total, have all served as elite bodyguards to the Fourth Hokage and now serve in the same capacity to the Fifth.[1]
During their service under the Fourth's leadership, he taught them how to use his signature Flying Thunder God Technique and have since, marked Tsunade with the technique's seal, most likely so they are able to teleport to her aid at any given time. Unlike the Fourth, however, they are only able to perform this technique as a team.[2]
