===Chile=== The Presidential Horse Guards Cavalry Regiment "Grenadiers" (''Regimiento Escolta Presidencial n.1 "Granaderos"'') of the [[Chilean Army]] is active since 1827, has fought in every major battle of the Chilean Army in the 19th century and since 1840 and 1907 has served as the Escort Regiment to the [[President of Chile]] on important national occasions. This regiment is named after General [[Manuel Bulnes]] Prieto, the founding patron of the regiment, who led the Chilean Army and the anti-confederation North Peruvian dissidents to victory in the War of the Peru-Bolivia Confederation in the crucial [[Battle of Yungay]] in 1839, which signaled the confederation's demise. The Chilean Grenadiers' uniforms, until 2011, were similar to the full ''[[Feldgrau]]'' uniforms of the Chilean Army, but adapted for the cavalry and like their Argentine counterparts, carry lances but not cavalry sabers, which are reserved for officers and the mounted colors guard escort. Starting in 2011, the regiment now wears a cavalry light blue full dress uniform with [[Pickelhaube]]s for all ranks.
