150 years since the establishment of the 1st Riflemen Battalion are celebrated on July 1, 2010. The battalion was established based on Decree 63 of the Alexandru Ioan Cuza ruler of the time. The combat traditions of the battalion were taken over by the 30th Mihai Viteazul Guard Regiment.

Historically, guard units of this type were meant as combat units and then as protocol units.

The 30th Mihai Viteazul Guard Regiment is an elite military training establishment, both physically and psychologically. The military detachments that undergo training in this elite unit are able to face the demands of any guard, protection mission of special objectives or military ceremony.
