200 Years of the Compagnie des Carabiniers du Prince

The Compagnie des Carabiniers du Prince (Prince's Company of Carabineers) is the Infantry division of the Force Publique in the Principality of Monaco, which oversees the protection of the Sovereign and the Prince's Palace.
Formed by Prince Honoré IV in 1817, the unit was reorganized in 1909. The company numbers 119 officers. Along with the Corps des Sapeurs-Pompiers, the Carabineers form Monaco's total public forces.
