Changing the Guard | Prague Castle | Prague | Czech Republic

Presidential guards guard the three main entrances to the Prague Castle. The guards are members of a special army division, which serves directly the president of the Czech Republic. The division was founded in 1918 and its members are carefully chosen from the Czech army under many criteria: all candidates must be members of the professional Czech army, which means that they have to have good health and be in an excellent physical condition, they also have to have a certain height and cannot be overweight, furthermore bodily decoration (piercing, tattoos or a moustache and beard) are forbidden, they have to keep a clear hair cut, cannot wear glasses etc. This division has 660 members and their duty is to secure the safety of the president as well of the whole country. Some members of the division stand at the gates of the Castle from where they are being exchanges every hour in a specially trained ceremony. At noon the ceremony is longer and contains a parade with music. The members of the castle guards can be also seen walking though the castle grounds and looking after the security of the visitors, and watch over events taking place in the castle.

Interesting that their uniforms are much more"Americanized" than other eastern European countries military uniforms which conform much more to the Russian uniform model.

The Czech Republic is not in Eastern Europe, go learn some Geography!

@@altavelmcnamara First, my remarks were not a criticism, rather an observation. Second, I'm not writing of geography, I am referring to political affiliation. When the Czech republic was part of Czechoslovakia, it was part of the Soviet Union. That was the eastern block. The eastern block countries, as a whole followed the Soviet uniform military conventions. I am sorry if I offended you

@@blueindigo1000 Czechoslovakia was NEVER part of the Soviet Union, lmao!

[@samyacoub4858]

​@@blueindigo1000 just a correction, we were not a direct part of the Soviet Union, just eastern bloc, otherwise, I agree with your observation
