They are not hired. They are active military veterans who earned the post.

What on earth is this sentence? How can you be active military and a veteran?

They are also very much hired as this is a job.

The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment (HCMR) is based at Knightsbridge Barracks in London and provides ceremonial troops for all state occasions. For example, State Visits, the State Opening of Parliament, The Queen's Birthday Parade (Trooping The Colour) and the Garter Service
