In 2003, after Lithuania's accession to NATO and the EU, soldiers of the Guard of Honor hoisted flags at the headquarters of both organizations in Brussels.

The Honour guard celebrated its silver jubilee in November 2016, during which a ceremonial parade of the unit was held in Daukanto Square near the Presidential Palace, attended by President Dalia Grybauskaitė.

The back of the battle banner of the headquarters battalion of the Grand Duke of Lithuania Gediminas is blue with a wide red border, in the middle there is a silver image of Gediminas (stylized by Vytautas Kashuba), in an arc accompanied by the motto: "Tegul meilė Lietuvos dega mūsų širdyse" (Let the love of Lithuania burn in our hearts).
