Armament, uniforms, standard
The Castle Guard is provided with specific uniforms from the workshop of the designer Theodor Pistek. These uniforms
were introduced in 1990. They contain a number of historical emblems (associate legionnaire's emblem, legionnaire's buttons,
epaulettes with designs of linden leaves and a type of indication of rank) symbolising the connection of the Castle Guard
with the legionnaires of World War I, who were the first official guard of the first President of the Republic, T.G. Masaryk.
At present the soldiers of the Castle Guard have three basic types of uniforms:
- Service uniform of the Castle Guard in summer and winter version;
- Dress (ceremonial) uniform of Castle Guard in summer and winter version;
- Battle dress 95, identical to the one of the Czech Republic Army.
The main type of weapon used by soldiers of the Castle Guard is the model 61 Skorpion submachine guns, with which soldiers are equipped at their posts upon military surveillance of the building of Prague Castle and temporary seats of the President of the Republic, following their closure to the public. In addition to these weapons, soldiers of the Castle Guard also use model 57 machine guns, which serve primarily for strengthening the defence capabilities of the Guard in defending the complex in the case of emergency measures. All members of the Castle Guard are fully trained in handling the allocated weapons and regularly take part in shooting practice. Other weapons used are models 52/57 rifles, which serve primarily for ceremonial purposes and are also used daily as the weapon of the "Honorary Guards" at the individual entrance gates to Prague Castle and the Lany Chateau.
