Military unit
The Compagnie des Carabiniers du Prince (Monégasque: Cumpagnia d'i Carrabiniei d'u Prìncipu; "Prince's Company of Riflemen") is the Infantry branch of the Force Publique,[4] and one of the limited number of militaries that recruits foreigners.[2] Although Monaco's defence is the responsibility of France,[5] Monaco maintains a small force for the protection of the Sovereign and the Prince's Palace.[6] Formed by Prince Honoré IV in 1817, the unit was re-organized in 1909.[7]
The company numbers 124 officers and men. Whilst the NCOs and soldiers are local, the officers have served in the French Army or the Republican Guard. Along with the Corps des Sapeurs-Pompiers, the Carabiniers form Monaco's total public forces.[8]
