The '''Household Cavalry Regiment ''' ('''HCR''') is an Armoured Cavalry regiment of the [[British Army ]] based in [[Bulford Camp ]] in Wiltshire. It is the brother regiment of the [[Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment ]] (HCMR) based at Hyde Park Barracks in London - both regiments together form the [[Household Cavalry ]] (HCav). The Household Cavalry Regiment was formed in 1992, under the [[Options for Change ]] reforms, by the union of [[Life Guards (British Army)|The Life Guards ]] and [[Blues and Royals|The Blues and Royals ]] in order to preserve the distinct identities of the regiments. A precedent for the Household Cavalry Regiment has previously been set by the [[Household Cavalry Composite Regiment ]] - active during the Anglo-Egyptian War, the Second Boer War and latterly during both the First and Second World Wars.
The HCR is part of the [[Household Cavalry]], rather than the [[Royal Armoured Corps]] (RAC), which encompasses all other armoured and cavalry regiments of the British Army.
