In modern times members of the Household Division have displayed their fighting skill in jungle, desert and mountain, in freezing cold and steaming heat. They have proved adaptable and flexible as shown by their conversion to armour in the Second World War and the formation of the famous Guards Armoured Division and 6th Guards Tank Brigade.
They have applied common sense, sound judgement and fighting skill to the many difficult internal security operations such as Cyprus, Palestine, Aden, Malaya, Borneo and the Falklands Campaign in which they have taken part. More recently they have played their full part in Northern Ireland.
Within the Household Division there are Regiments equipped with armoured cars, Challenger tanks, Warrior armoured personnel carriers and many other vehicles.
All Regiments have the most modern equip¬ment in the form of weapons, radio sets, radar and night viewing equipment. Many members are parachute trained.
