~What is President's Guard~

     The “President’s Guard” is a small group of the Regiment’s best Sharpshooters/Skirmishers, and provide the Commanding Officer or any other Event Commander with another tool and force multiplier in combat. The President’s Guard will be under the direct command of Regimental Command, and led by a Regimental Officer during Combat, Training, and Certification.

Members will be required to attend President’s Guard Drill/Practice 2 times per month at a minimum.
