Is there an American or international equivalent to the British guards? Most of what the British guards do is ceremonial, but they also work as regular infantry. I know the Dutch and most European monarchies have guards that work similarly.

trolling this hard.

Thanks, anon. Do their ceremonial battalions also rotate roles with the combat battalions, making sure everyone sees combat?

Bearing in mind you have five regiments of Guards (Grenadiers, Coldstreamers, Irish, Scots and Welsh), each with 1-2 battalions and there only ever being one company from one battalion on public duties (unless there is a specific event on), I'd say 'regular infantry' is the mainstay of their role.

I'm imagine the US marines you see at the white house fill this role.
In Germany it's the Wachbattaillon

here, just read this

pls remember the Regimental system the US Army uses, is different from the one the UK uses.
I know every branch of the US military have their own units dedicated to ceremonial services. The most prolific being the US Army 3rd Regiment Old Guard and the US Marines Honor Guard.
Pretty sure any British regiment can perform ceremonial guard duty
