King's Loyal House Regiment

The King's Loyal House Regiment (commonly the House Regiment, LHR) is a special division of the Royal Washingtonian Army established specifically to be the protection service of the Royal Family and top-level government facilities and persons. The House Regiment was created in 1822 by King George II Washington, making it the oldest continuous military unit within the Kingdom.

George II had since his ascent to the Throne suspected that there's room for a military takeover of the government, thus gathered many of his closest friends within the mid-ranks of the Army to establish a semi-independent unit serving at the direct pleasure of the King. The House Regiment was subsequently established and became the principal division protecting Foundersville from attack. The House Regiment's most notable engagement was in the opening hours of the Washingtonian Civil War, when it fought with Concord militia at Wallfrey Keep, and subsequently lost the battle. It also played a very large role in securing the safe passage of to-be King Brandon I Washington from the capital to a safe location.

Since the end of the Civil War, however, the House Regiment's size has been significantly reduced in respect of the 1913 Constitution's provisions for the President to be the principal Commander-in-Chief (although the King remains the General-in-Chief) of the military. The House Regiment now consists of around 5 000 troops stationed at government headquarters throughout Foundersville, most notably at Assembly Hall, the Presidential Residence and Government House. The bulk of the LHR is, however, assigned to the Royal Palace and the Royal Family's various other properties throughout Washingtonia.

The current commander of the LHR is Colonel Vincent Dillon, and its headquarters located at RAB Foundersville.
