Information About

Guards Division




The Guards Division is an administrative unit of the British Army responsible for the administration of all the units of Foot Guards of the Household Division .

The Headquarters of the Guards Division is in London , along with the RHQs of each regiment. It is responsible for providing two Public Duties battalions to London District (plus three incremental companies); although the guards are most associated with ceremonial, they remain as operational infantry battalions, and as such perform in all the various roles of infantry.

Under the restructuring of the infantry announced in 2004 , the Guards Division will gain an extra battalion, with, for the first time, a Territorial Army unit being affiliated to the Guards - this will be the London Regiment .
