At first I was like "Damn, these re-enactors are good" - then I slowly realised that they were actual servicemen. I absolutely love the fact that they're keeping their traditions alive and remembering their origins.

I was in this unit, Alpha Company, The Old Guard. Stationed at Ft. McNair in Washington DC from 87-91. We did re-enactments of Yorktown and others. 11B

When your military is so disciplined it can perfectly reenact other time periods

This is THE Old Guard. George Washington's most loyal unit, still in active service today.

Man, it really has to be embarrassing to be the last one finished reloading...

There's a massive difference between civilian reenactors, and professional servicemen sworn to defend the constitution, who take the utmost pride in thier service . I was in awe. The only thing this was missing was thier British regular counterparts.

this is so important to keep traditions, as they go away very fast...

Very impressive! I’d imagine these actual active servicemen and their competency in 18th century field tactics would be much like watching hessians drilling 250 years ago

Sitting in a train right now, watching the display. Right on the word of command "March!" the Train moved as well. Nice coincidence.

Damn, that bayonet charge was badass.

I was happy to see no fat reenactors, good gear and actual marching. Then I realised, they are no reenactors.

The 3rd Infantry regiment is the only active duty regiment older than the 5th infantry regiment, the one I served in. It’s a proud thing to have served in such a prestigious unit.

As an amateur historian, I found this glmpse of a unit (Washington's Guard) I was unaware of, to be facinating. The Cavalry defense was also a nice added bonus!

When they were far away you could see a delay because the light information was reaching the camera faster than the sound information was. Pretty neat.

My son is related on his mothers side to a Patriot who did multiple tours not only in the US Revolution but most of them were in the Life Guard for Washington. Guy just kept signing up for more! I am glad we have it documented which my wife did a few years ago when she did her DAR membership. Great to see the US Army acknowledging and carrying on the tradition!
