It also has ceremonial duties and assists in general policing. It is very similar in concept to the French Republican Guard, with which it is officially twinned.

This spahi unit is also known as the Red Guard of the Presidency (''Garde Rouge de la Présidence'') or Red Guard of Dakar. The name "Red Guard" is derived from their red tunics and burnous cloaks. Background and heritage French Spahis were required to range over vast areas of the Sahara desert and in 1845 a squadron was sent to Saint-Louis du Sénégal in response to tribal conflicts on the banks of the Senegal river. This detachment became a Senegalese-recruited branch of the Spahis. The Senegalese Spahis saw extensive active service in French West Africa and in Morocc ...
