The Grand Duke Gediminas StaffBattalion (Lithuanian: Gedimino štabo batalionas) is a unit of the Lithuanian Armed Forces, whose staff it protects.[1] It is also charged with representing Lithuania and its army by providing guard of honour at official events in Lithuania and abroad.[1]
The battalion traditionally celebrates on 25 August, because on that day in 1919, the 1st Infantry Regiment with other Lithuanian Army units won the final victory against Bolsheviks at Zarasai.[1]
The unit has a museum, which has functioned for more than 20 years.[2][3]
