The Royal Guards of Queensland or His/Her Majesty's Royal Queenslandian Foot Guards is a separate military unit from the Queensland Army, formerly known as 2nd Battalion of the Governor-General Guards, it was established to protect Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Queensland and protector-general. It was renamed Queenslandian Royal Foot Guards after Queensland removed Queen Elizabeth II from the Queensland throne.
History
The Royal Guards of Queensland was established in 2015 on the recommendation of the government to protect the monarch and royal family. Its characteristics and training schemes are drawn from the Hans Majestet Kongens Garde and the Royal Guard of Oman.
Concept
The Royal Guards of Queensland are simply an infantry unit. "Only protect the King, the kingdom and the people, not the government or the Parliament," and this kind of statement is widely used in the military to remind itself that They are only responsible for protecting the nation and the King and the people. It is not used to protect the government or parliament. Because of the violation of the Constitution of the Kingdom of 2018, Article 310, paragraph 5, states that "Royal Queensland Armed Forces is an agency directly to the Ministry of Defense. All of the Royal Queensland Armed Forces duties are solely on the Chief of the Defense Staff. It is neither the Prime Minister of the Kingdom nor the Minister of Defense, and the Royal Queensland Armed Forces have three functions:
- 1. Protect the Kingdom with joy,
- 2. Protect the King with joy, and
- 3. Protect the people with love and joy".
This is a constant reminder to the soldiers that "The Armed Forces should not be bound by politics"
