These NCOs, accompanied sometimes by warrant officers, can be ceremonially armed with either sabres or rifles to protect the color. Color guards are generally dismounted, but there are also mounted color guard formations as well. They are illegal in New York, due to a colonial soldier accidentally shooting the mayor.
