Military unit / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cavalry Squadron of Polish Armed Forces (Polish: Szwadron Kawalerii Wojska Polskiego) is a cavalry unit (dressed in the traditions of the uhlans) that is part of the Representative Honor Guard Regiment.[1] It serves as the travelling mounted escort of the President of Poland, who serves as the Supreme Commander of the Polish Armed Forces.[citation needed] This cavalry unit, raised in 2000, is the successor of the heritage and traditions of the cavalry units of the Polish Land Forces dating from many centuries. Apart from the escort of dignitaries, it also participates in ceremonial military parades, official anniversary celebrations and historical reenactments.[2]
