Finnish Guards' Rifle Battalion Finnish Guards' Rifle Battalion (Finnish: "Henkikaartin 3. Suomen Tarkk’ampujapataljoona" , Swedish: "Livgardets 3:e finska skarpskyttebataljon" , Russian: Лейб-гвардии 3-й стрелковый Финский батальон , "Leib-gvardii 3-j strelkovyi Finski bataljon " ), colloquially known as Guard of Finland (Finnish: "Suomen kaarti" , Swedish: "Finska gardet" ) was a Finnish military unit during 1829-1905 based in Helsinki. Continuing the legacy of Finnish Training Battalion (1817), it was part of the Imperial Russian Army and the only Finnish unit of the Russian Imperial Guard. Furthermore, for large parts of its history, the battalion was the only operational Finnish military unit. Because of its status as both a national showpiece and as a part of the Imperial Guard, it had a visible role in Finland.
