They are an active regiment in the British Army. You’re probably confusing them with the Beefeaters, who wear an entirely different uniform, and are mostly ex-service persons.

    Probably should have been more specific. Usually the guards are ones who have already been deployed and are coming to the end of their service. They are veterans, just not ex-servicemen.
