The Guard (Naval) Company was the first guards unit of the Russia Navy. It was established in February 16 (27), 1810 on the basis of the Rowing Company established by Peter the First in 1710. The Guard Company consisted of four line units, an artillery company and a musical company (total 410 people). The Company took part in the Patriotic War of 1812. A group of volunteers of the Guard Company together with the Life-Guards Foresters Regiment negated the attack of the enemy’s division at Borodino Village and took out a bridge across the Kolocha River in the Battle of Borodino. In August 1813, the Guard Company received the St. George Banner for courage and bravery demonstrated at Kulm.
Cruiser Oleg, destroyer Voyskovoy, and destroyer Ukraina were equipped by personnel of the Guard Company during the First World War of 1914-1918.
