As a Military term, three different Old Guards have existed: * Napoleons Old Guard was a group of seasoned vetrans which was composed of seasoned and experienced soldiers who had previously displayed valor in battle and were noted as a group that never failed in an attack or broken ranks in the face of the enemy. They were the French Imperial Guard that would one day face and break against Wellington at Waterloo. * The Czar of Russia had a personal bodyguard called the Old Guard. * The 1st Battalion of the 3rd US Infantry Regiment is composed of specially selected troops of the Regular Army based at Fort Myer, VA (with one company (A Co) stationed at Ft. McNair, Washington DC). The Old Guard is charged with ceremonial duty in the National Capital Region (NCR) which includes duties at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington Cemetery as well as funerals in ANC. The Old Guard is the oldest active military unit in the United States.
