In addition, the regiment is the ceremonial unit of the Finnish Defence Forces, responsible for the Guard of Honour of the [[President of Finland]]. The [[Kaartin Soittokunta|Guards Band]] is similarly the representative band of the Defence Forces. As the largest unit located in the Garrison of Helsinki, the regiment is responsible for almost all the supplies of the troops and headquarters located in the capital region. The conscripts of the regiment arrive mostly from the capital region and surrounding region of [[Uusimaa]]. In addition, the regiment is one of the most usual placements for the expatriate Finns and recently naturalized immigrants. The conscripts serving in special duties at the Defence Staff are also formally part of the regiment. == History == The Guard Jaeger Regiment continue the traditions of historical units that include the 3rd [[Finnish Guards' Rifle Battalion]] ({{langx|fi|Henkivartioväen 3. Suomalainen tarkk’ampujapataljoona}}, {{langx|sv|Livgardets 3:e Finska Skarpskyttebataljon}}), which had from the year 1829 Young Guard and from the year 1878 onwards Old Guard status in the [[Imperial Russia]]n Army, the [[Finnish Jäger troops|Jaegers]] of the [[Finnish Civil War]] and the 2nd Jaeger Battalion from the [[Second World War]]. The traditions are kept alive by the Guard Jaeger Regiment Guild.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.kaartjrkilta.fi/|title = Guard Jaeger Regiment Guild website|date = January 9, 2015|accessdate = January 9, 2015|website = Guard Jaeger Regiment Guild website|language = Finnish|publisher = Guard Jaeger Regiment Guild|last = |first = }}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} == External links == {{commons category|Guard Jaeger Regiment}} *[http://maavoimat.fi/kaartin-jaakarirykmentti Guard Jaeger Regiment's official homepage] {{in lang|fi}} *[http://www.mil.fi/maavoimat/joukot/kaartjr/alokasopasI09/inenglish/recruit.html Recruit's Guide to Guard Jaeger Regiment] {{in lang|en}} {{Finnish Defence Forces units}} [[Category:Army regiments of Finland]] [[Category:Guards regiments]] [[Category:Guards of honour]]
