Past units

Units previously in the Guards Division, but which are no longer in existence (along with the dates at which they came into existence, and were disbanded):

• 2nd Battalion, Grenadier Guards [1656-1994]
• 2nd Battalion, Coldstream Guards [1711-1993]
• 2nd Battalion, Scots Guards [1689-1993]
• Guards Independent Parachute Company [1948-1975]

Note: The three battalions have technically not been disbanded; instead they are in "suspended animation" and, in theory, can be re-raised if needed. The colours and traditions of each battalion are kept and maintained by the incremental companies. Also the heritage of the Guards Independent Parachute Company has now been continued through the Guards Parachute Platoon that is attached to the 3rd Battalion of the Parachute Regiment.
