The Old Guard was the elite unit of the Imperial Guard of the Grande Armée during the Napoleonic Wars.
Often referred to as "the elite of the elite" or "the cream of the crop," it was founded as the Consular Guard in 1799 and renamed in 1804. It was a shock unit, normally used to demoralize and confuse the enemy.
The 1st Regiment of Foot Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard was an elite regiment of the Grande Armée during the Napoleonic Wars. It was part of the Imperial Guard and one of only four true units of the Old Guard (along with the 1st Chasseurs à Pied, the Chasseurs à Cheval, and the Grenadiers à Cheval). It was the oldest infantry regiment in the Grande Armée.
It was disbanded with the fall of the First Empire in 1815.
