The Old Guard (known as the Consular Guard before Napoleon's coronation) was a part of Napoleon I's Imperial Guard and the most respected military foundation in the Grand Army. Famously, its members were equipped with bearksins hats and contained 2 regiments each of Foot Chasseurs and Grenadiers. They were usually kept in reserve as elite shock troops and rarely used unless to recover a dire situation or to deliver a decisive blow in battle.
