32nd Budapest Guard and Ceremonial Regiment

It is under the direct supervision of Budapest Garrison Brigade "Vitéz Sándor Szurmay" of the HDF General Staff.

[1] Aside from its ceremonial duties, the soldiers of the regiment, along with its historical predecessors, have been involved in 14 wars, 135 battles, and 6 United Nations and NATO missions.

On New Year's Day in 2003, Colonel László Talpas became the first and last commander of the regiment, having previously completed the Military Observer Training Course in 1998 and serving in the United Nations International Mission in Western Sahara in 2000.

It operated until 31 December 2006, at which time it was disbanded to be replaced by the Ceremonial Battalion branch (part of the MH "Támogató Dandár" HDF Support Brigade) on 1 January 2007.

It was converted on 1 January 2011 to Nemzeti Honvéd Díszegység (National Home Defense Ceremonial Regiment) as part of the MH TD and achieved service on 25 April.

Prior to the introduction of this, the unit used a Peaked cap similar to the Soviet model beginning in 1958 with the communist emblem on top.

It was erected in 1933 after a public donation by István Szentgyörgyi to honor the members of the regiment who served in the First World War.

Color guards from the regiment are the only ones who perform a full goose step in slow time during military ceremonies.

This usually happened between 15 March and 23 October (both dates are Hungary's National Day), during which it stood permanent guard on the square.

It also previously took part in the 2007 and 2014 Bastille Day military parade in Paris as well as the 2011 Festa della Repubblica in Rome, Italy.
