American Horse Council: Caring for the Caisson for January 7th, 2025 by Smartpak - HORSES IN THE MORNING
Manage episode 459892794 series 3540403
We have a very special episode today focusing on the Army’s Caisson Detachment of the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment – "The Old Guard." The Old Guard is the Army’s oldest active-duty infantry regiment, responsible for a wide range of ceremonial duties, including guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The other official duty is the very special role they perform to provide escorts for military funerals with a caisson. A caisson is a horse-drawn military wagon that is used to transport a funeral casket.
If you would like more information about the Caisson Detachment, please reach out at info@horsecouncil.org.
