On 1 December, the officers of the Protection and Guard Service will join the other Romanian officers in their march, with 2 official motorcades used for the movement and protection of the dignitaries.

The official motorcades are special formations for the dignitary protection and are composed of a lead advance vehicle and follow cars, accompanied by 5 military motorcyclists.

The vehicles have special technical features, being equipped with bullet- and bomb-proof devices, and the members of the protective detail are trained in special conditions in order to counter potential attacks against the dignitaries.

The Protection and Guard Service is a state body with functions in the field of national safety, specialized in providing protection for the Romanian dignitaries and the foreign dignitaries during their stay in Romania.

As of 2004, officers of the Protection and Guard Service provide protection for the UN dignitaries who carry out missions in the theatres of operations in Afghanistan and Sudan. Currently, 36 officers from the Protection and Guard Service are on UN missions in Khartoum, Darfur and Kabul.

In order to carry out its missions, the Service of Protection and Guard comprises structures specialized in providing protection for the dignitaries, antiterrorist intervention and EOD tasks, which are necessary for preventing and countering actions that endanger the life, physical integrity, health and freedom of action of the protected dignitaries.
