	Royal Green Jackets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Royal Green Jackets (RGJ) is an infantry regiment of the British Army, one of two within the Light Division (the other being The Light Infantry).
		As part of the 2004 restructuring of the infantry, the RGJ was scheduled to be largely unaffected.
		As an interesting bit of trivia, the unofficial reason for the green jackets was so that the generals could pretend that they were in a different army.

		One further tradition is that the Green Jackets do not have bayonets; although today they are an ordinary infantry regiment, the first rifles could not be fitted with bayonets, so riflemen were issued with swords for close combat.

	Royal Green Jackets - Regimental Bands
		Between the disbandment of the battalion bands of the Royal Green Jackets in 1985 and the creation of the Band of the Light Division in 1994, the Royal Green Jackets had two regimental bands: the Normandy Band and the Peninsula Band.
		Bandmaster Ian Harding, formerly of the 3rd Green Jackets, was appointed to the Peninsula Band on its formation and remained for eight years, giving a degree of stability to the new unit.
		The salute on this parade was taken by Prince Nicholas von Preussen, the great-grandson of Kaiser Wilhelm II; this was particularly appropriate as the Kaiser had inspected the Queen's Westminster Rifles (ancestors of B Company) in 1891 and presented them with a portrait of himself.

		Since The Royal Green Jackets was formed, anew area of conflict has opened in the shape of Northern Ireland and all battalions have taken their turn as resident units or on emergency tours of duty.
		The Royal Green Jackets of today habitually march at 140 paces to the minute compared to the standard 120 and retain the custom of the 'double-past' as a parade manoeuvre.
		The introduction of the early rifles led to a tradition of marksmanship, as Green Jackets were required to be the sharpshooters of the Army.

		January 1966 the Royal Green Jackets was formed as a single large regiment.
		It was no accident that these particular regiments, each having such a distinguished record in the past, should have progressively, voluntarily and successfully come together, avoiding the stresses which often accompany amalgamations, because they shared a large measure of their history and their traditions.
		They, and The Royal Green Jackets as their heir, lay claim to being the innovators who developed much of the new thinking in the British infantry in the fields of tactics, training, equipment and man-management from the mid-eighteenth century onwards.

		Thirdly for the interested viewer, to find out how the branch works in its support for individuals and this great Regiment the Royal Green Jackets whose antecedent Regiments, the 43 rd, the 52 nd, the 60 th, and the 95 th held reputations that were second to none.

		This was a logical amalgamation because the Regiments have served alongside each other since the Peninsular War in 1808.
		The KRRC and RB were the first British Regiments to wear green uniforms as camouflage, and to be armed with the rifle, and these two Regiments shared the rifle Depot at Winchester from 1858.
