YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Commander-in-Chief's Guard is a ceremonial unit within the 3rd United States Army Regiment, also called "The Old Guard." The Old Guard performs a variety of ceremonial duties on top of their role as regular soldiers, including putting on displays of 18th Century-inspired tactics and drill while wearing historical uniforms of the Continental Army. But while the Old Guard has a heritage going back to 1776, and levels of discipline only possible within a regular military unit, their drill also has a few problems- historically speaking- which leaves something to be desired. So in this video, we shall answer the question: Just how historically accurate is the Old Guard?
