These are still very well trained soldiers, the blues and royals are no joke

They are fully trained soldiers with all that comes with that. They are just ceremonial in this case.

That post is ceremonial, the unit is an active military unit

Exactly. Similar to tomb of fallen soldier, etc. every military has ceremonial positions but the people filling those roles are very much active duty military members. I got selected (lottery draw not my choice) for special guard duty in Hawaii but later was canceled because I have visible tattoos.
