==Current lancer units== [[File:The Black Rats arrive in Catterick MOD 45148986.jpg|thumb|British lancers taking part in a homecoming parade in 2008]] [[File:Italian Army - A mounted troop of the "Lancieri di Montebello" Regiment (8th) in Rome 2019.jpg|thumb|Italian [[Regiment "Lancieri di Montebello" (8th)|regiment "Lancieri di Montebello"]] on public duties in Rome in 2019]] Some modern armored cavalry units are still designated as lancer regiments for historical and ceremonial reasons. There are examples in the armies of [[Spanish Army|Spain]] (the King's Lancers Troop of the [[Spanish Royal Guard|Royal Guard]]'s Escort Squadron and the Bourbon's Lancers Group of the 11th Cavalry Regiment), [[British Army|United Kingdom]] ([[Royal Lancers]]), [[Indian Army|India]] ([[2nd Lancers (Gardner's Horse)]] and [[20 Lancers (India)|20th Lancers]]), [[Belgian Army|Belgium]] ([[1/3rd Lancers Battalion]]), [[Portuguese Army|Portugal]] ([[2nd Lancers Regiment (Portugal)|2nd Lancers Regiment]]), [[Pakistan Army|Pakistan]], [[Italian Army|Italy]] ([[List of units of the Italian Army|5th Lancieri di Novara, 6th Lancieri di Aosta, 8th Lancieri di Montebello]]), [[Australian Army|Australia]] ([[12th/16th Hunter River Lancers]], [[1st/15th Royal New South Wales Lancers]]), [[Argentine Army|Argentina]] (2nd Tank Cavalry Regiment "General Paz's Lancers"), [[Canadian Army|Canada]] ([[Lord Strathcona's Horse]]), [[Chilean Army|Chile]] (5th Cavalry Regiment "Lancers"), and the United States ([[National_Lancers|National Lancers, Massachusetts Organized Militia]]) Although not classified as lancers, the [[Brazilian Army]]'s ''Dragões da Independência'' (1st Guards Regiment) and the elite soldiers of the [[Colombian National Army]] are called [[Lancero]]s. The [[Portuguese National Republican Guard]] horse squadrons carry lances on mounted parades, as do many cavalry regiments in South America such as Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru. The modern Italian [[Regiment "Lancieri di Montebello" (8th)]] parade detachments armed with the lances carried as combat weapons until 1920.
