The Prague Castle Guard[1][2] or simply the Castle Guard[2][3][4] (Czech: Hradní stráž) is a specific and autonomous unit of the Armed Forces of the Czech Republic directly subordinate to the Military Office of the President of the Czech Republic. Its main task is to guard and defend the seat of the President of the Czech Republic at the Prague Castle.[5]
Although its most visible activity comprises ceremonial duty within the Prague Castle, most of the unit's 890 soldiers are tasked with actual protection of compounds belonging to the Presidential Office, whereby they serve in standard uniforms armed with modern weaponry.
