- 1st Patricians' Infantry Regiment
The 1st Patricians' Infantry Regiment ("Regimiento de Infantería 1 "Patricios"") is oldest and one of the most prestigious regiments of the Argentine Army. The title is often shortened to the Patricians' Regiment ("Regimiento de Patricios"). Since the 1990s the regiment has been designated as air assault infantry.
Thge regiment was formed as the "Legión Patricia" ("Patricians' Legion) from inhabitants of Buenos Aires in 1806 to fight against the British invasions of the Río de la Plata. The regiment therefore existed prior to Argentine independence.
The regiment also fought in the May Revolution, the Argentina-Brazil War, the Battle of Caseros, the War of the Triple Alliance, the conflict with the People's Revolutionary Army, the Dirty War, and the Falklands War.
