Presidential Guard Battalion (Brazil)
The Presidential Guard Battalion (, BGP), also known as Duke of Caxias Battalion (Batalhão Duque de Caxias), or by its historical designation Emperor's Battalion (Batalhão do Imperador), is a unit of the Brazilian Army and honour guard to the President of Brazil. Two other units, the 1st Guards Cavalry Regiment (1º Regimento de Cavalaria de Guardas; RCG; also known as the "Independence Dragoons") and the Cayenne Battery, are also part of the presidential honour guard unit. It is currently a part of the Planalto Military Command.
This battalion had its origins in the Emperor's Battalion, organized in 1823 during the peace campaigns that followed the Declaration of Independence and wears its 19th-century uniforms.
