The National Guards Unit of Bulgaria is the successor of the Personal Cavalry Convoy (squadron) of knyaz Alexander I, founded in 1879, when on July 12 the guards escorted the Bulgarian knyaz for the first time.

Throughout the years the structure of the guards has changed from convoy to squadron, regiment and after 1942 - division.
In 2001 the National Guards Unit was declared the official military unit representing the Bulgarian Army and is one of the symbols of modern state.
