The Royal Guard of the Hawaii National Guard is an Air National Guard ceremonial unit which is uniformed in a manner similar to the royal bodyguard of the Kingdom of Hawaii of the late 19th century. The original 50-man unit had been disbanded by King Lunalilo after the barrack mutiny of 1873, reestablished by King Kalakaua, and finally abolished after the monarchy fell during the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom at the end of the 19th century. In 1963, the Royal Guards consisted of 14 men. It has grown to a strength of 42.
