  Livgardet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Livgardet (Life Guards) is a combined cavalry/infantry regiment of the Swedish Army, with responsibility for training.
The Life Guards as it exists today has been part of the Swedish Army since 2000, when the functions of three separate units, the Svea Life Guards, the Household Brigade and the Household Dragoons, all of which were classed as Household troops, were amalgamated into a single regiment.
Livgardet is the world's oldest extant regiment, dating back to the year 1521 when the men of Dalecarlia chose 16 young men as body guards for Gustav Vasa.
