The
Household Cavalry Regiment
- A Long, Illustrious, And Proud History
As for their prowess, you need only turn to the pages describing their
illustrious history, as well asthe page devoted to The Standards and
The Battle Honours of the Household Cavalry.
It
is worth reminding everyone that the
Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment is manned by the self-same
soldiers that daily provide The Queen's Life Guard at Horse Guards,
provide Escorts for the Sovereign and visiting Heads of State,
participate in ceremonial parades, and fulfill an extremely busy year
of ceremonial duties.
The
roles between the two arms of the Regiment may be diverse,
but this is not by accident - this is a well-honed and disciplined unit.
The
Household Cavalry Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment - whether
on active service in a remote theatre of war, on security alert at
Heathrow Airport, or covering for striking firefighters, is ever ready
and willing to serve.
While
it may be easy to describe a "typical day" - or a "typical
year" in
the life of the Mounted Regiment, this is not possible in respect of
the Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment.
For
them, there are no such animals as "typical" days or years
-
no two days are alike, and fulfilling duties at a moment's notice,
or being deployed within twenty-four hours of being alerted,
are all taken by the Regiment in its stride.
Therefore,
the following images - which portray the
Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment in all manner of situations,
and on active service - speak far better than a thousand words.
Suffice
to say that the Household Cavalry Regiment -
Armoured and Mounted - truly is unique!
