The Honourable Artillery Company (HAC) is a reserve regiment in the British Army. Incorporated by royal charter in 1537 by King Henry VIII, it is the oldest regiment in the British Army and is considered the second-oldest military unit in the world. Today, it is also a charity whose purpose is to attend to the "better defence of the realm", primarily through supporting the HAC regiment and a detachment of City of London Special Constabulary. The word "artillery" in "Honourable Artillery Company" does not have the current meaning that is generally associated with it, but dates from a time when in the English language that word meant any projectile, including for example arrows shot from a bow.

rdf:langString Die Honourable Artillery Company (HAC) ist ein Regiment der britischen Territorial Army und eine gemeinnützige Organisation. Das Regiment geht auf eine Royal Charter von 1537 zurück und ist damit das älteste Regiment der British Army. Es ist Teil des Rapid Reaction Corps der NATO und nimmt außerdem zeremonielle Aufgaben wahr – so stellt es die Ehrengarde für die britische Königsfamilie und besuchende ausländische Staatschefs oder feuert die zeremoniellen Salutschüsse vom Tower of London ab. Hauptquartier der HAC ist das in der City of London. Dort befindet sich auch ein Museum, das Honourable Artillery Company Museum und ein Archiv zur Geschichte des Regiments und der Milizen in London. Die gemeinnützige Organisation unterstützt die Arbeit des HAC-Regiments. Ebenso stellt sie eine Abordnung der für die City of London Police. Mitglieder der HAC müssen ehemalige Soldaten sein. Viele sind ehemalige hochrangige Offiziere der British Army.

rdf:langString The Honourable Artillery Company (HAC) is a reserve regiment in the British Army. Incorporated by royal charter in 1537 by King Henry VIII, it is the oldest regiment in the British Army and is considered the second-oldest military unit in the world. Today, it is also a charity whose purpose is to attend to the "better defence of the realm", primarily through supporting the HAC regiment and a detachment of City of London Special Constabulary.

The equivalent form of words in modern English would be either "Honourable Infantry Company" or "Honourable Military Company". In the 17th century, its members played a significant part in the formation of both the Royal Marines and the Grenadier Guards. More recently, regiments, battalions and batteries of the Company fought with distinction in both World Wars and its current Regiment, which forms part of the Army Reserve, is the oldest surviving regiment in the British Army, and the second most senior in the Army Reserve after the Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers (Militia). Members of the Regiment and Specials are drawn, for the most part, from young men and women working in and around the City and Greater London. Those leaving the active units may become Veteran Members and remain within the fraternity of the Company.
