The Bermuda Regiment is the home defence unit of the British colony of Bermuda. It is a single territorial infantry battalion that was formed by the amalgamation in 1965 of two units, the all white Bermuda Volunteer Rifle Corps and the all black Bermuda Militia Artillery. The majority of the regiment is made up of conscripts, making it unique among all of the land forces still under the British Crown. The primary role of the regiment is the assistance of the Bermudan police in internal security on the island.
