Afterwards the regiment remained in Albania on occupation duty until it was disbanded by invading German forces after the announcement of the Armistice of Cassibile on 8 September 1943.
[6][7][8] In 1949, during the Cold War, the Italian Army formed an armored squadron, which was given the name and traditions of the regiment.
[6][7][8] On 12 September 1848, between the two campaigns of the First Italian War of Independence, three squadrons of mounted guides were formed in Stupinigi.
On 3 January 1850, these three squadrons entered the newly formed Regiment "Cavalleggeri di Monferrato" in Pinerolo.
In preparation for the Second Italian War of Independence, the Royal Sardinian Army's Cavalry School in Pinerolo formed on 10 April 1859 a new Mounted Guides Squadron.
Each of the squadron's six platoons was attached to one of the six divisions of the Royal Sardinian Army for the upcoming war, which began on 26 April 1859.
[8][9][10] On 20 June 1866, the Third Italian War of Independence between the Kingdom of Italy and the Austrian Empire began.
The 3rd Squadron suffered two officers and 27 enlisted killed in the charge, which had allowed the 29th Infantry Regiment (Brigade "Pisa") to disengage and retreat to Valeggio.
Consequently, the 2nd Division left Pozzolengo and marched to Monzambano, while the two squadrons of the Guides Regiment rode ahead.
In 1895-96, the regiment provided 73 enlisted for units deployed to Italian Eritrea for the First Italo-Ethiopian War.
The next day, on May 16, the Italian units pushed the Austro-Hungarian troops back to their starting lines.
[8][10] On 28 June 1916, the Italian forces launched an attack on the Austro-Hungarian positions on the flanks of the Karst plateau, during which the Regiment "Cavalleggeri di Treviso" (28th) operated at Selz to the North of Monfalcone.
In late October 1917, after the Italian defeat in the Battle of Caporetto, the regiment's machine gunner squadron defended the Isonzo river bridge at Lucinico and the Tagliamento river bridge at Casarsa della Delizia, while the regiment fought a rearguard action at San Vito al Tagliamento.
On 30 October, the regiment's II Group crossed the Livenza river and defeated the Austro-Hungarian forces defending Sacile.
On 24 May 1925, the standards of the five disbanded cavalry regiments were transferred to the Shrine of the Flags, which at the time was located in Castel Sant'Angelo, for safekeeping.
Afterwards the regiment consisted of the following units:[8][12] In January 1935, the three fast tank groups were transferred to the army's three cavalry divisions: the II Fast Tanks Group "San Giusto" to the 1st Cavalry Division "Eugenio di Savoia", the I Fast Tanks Group "San Marco" to the 2nd Cavalry Division "Emanuele Filiberto Testa di Ferro", and the III Fast Tanks Group "San Giorgio" to the 3rd Cavalry Division "Principe Amedeo Duca d'Aosta".
The personnel of the three battalions retained the colors of the regiment's gorget patches with the only variation being that the points were reduced from three to two.
For the war in Ethiopia, the Regiment "Cavalleggeri Guide" provided 39 officers and 603 enlisted for units deployed to East Africa.
After the end of the war, the V Fast Tanks Group "Baldissera" was repatriated in February 1936 and disbanded upon arriving in Italy, while the IV Fast Tanks Group "Duca degli Abruzzi" was disbanded in March 1936 in Eritrea.
[8][13][14] After having ceded the I, II, and III fast tank groups to the army's cavalry divisions, the Regiment "Cavalleggeri Guide" was mounted on horses again.
On 28 October 1940, Italy invaded Greece and the Regiment "Cavalleggeri Guide" operated as vanguard of the 23rd Infantry Division "Ferrara".
[7][8][10][12] On 30 November 1940, the regiment's depot in Parma formed the XIV Dismounted Group "Cavalleggeri Guide", which was assigned to the 210th Coastal Division in Salento.
After the announcement of the Armistice of Cassibile the troops of the regiment's depot in Parma defended the city against the invading Germans for two days before surrendering.
In December 1943, the XIV Dismounted Group "Cavalleggeri Guide" was moved to the Italian front, where it supported the allied forces as frontline logistics unit.
[7][8][10] On 1 April 1949, the Italian Army formed the Armored Cavalry Squadron "Guide" in Tor di Quinto, which moved the same year to Casarsa della Delizia.
In October 1963, the squadrons group's troops were sent to Longarone to help rescue efforts after the Vajont dam disaster.
[8][15] On 12 November 1976, the President of the Italian Republic Giovanni Leone assigned with decree 846 the standard and traditions of the Regiment "Cavalleggeri Guide" (19th) to the squadrons group.
On 1 April 1991, the 32nd Armored Brigade "Mameli" was disbanded, while the 19th Squadrons Group "Cavalleggeri Guide" moved from Casarsa della Delizia to Salerno in the South of Italy.
Two of the platoons were equipped with Centauro tank destroyers, while the other two fielded the entire complement of the Italian Army's CM6616 infantry fighting vehicles.
Starting from January 1996, the regiment's squadrons rotated to Bosnia and Herzegovina for Operation Joint Endeavour and then NATO's Implementation Force.
