The Royal Hutt River Artillery of the Royal Hutt River Army was created in 2005 as part of the 1st North American Royal Guards.  The Colonel-in-Chief of the 1st Regiment of Royal Artillery is the Sovereign of the Principality of Hutt River.

The Royal Hutt River Artillery was created with the following aims and purposes:

1. To provide a dramatic ceremonial salute capability (using 19^th Century-model muzzle-loading artillery cannons firing blanks);

2. To represent the Principality of Hutt River and RHRA in historical reenactments and demonstrations of artillery;

3. To represent the Principality of Hutt River and RHRA while building on existing relationships with the US Field Artillery Association, the Royal Artillery Association of the UK, and the Royal Canadian Artillery Association; and,

4. To establish and sponsor the Royal School of Artillery as an educational arm of the Unit.  This school teaches the proper drill and safety procedures for muzzle-loading artillery to other reenacting and ceremonial artillery units and organizations world-wide.

The Motto of the Royal Hutt River Artillery is "Quo Fas Et Gloria Ducunt," which is Latin for "Whither Right and Glory Lead."  The RHRDF in the ribbon below the crown is for the Royal Hutt River Defense Forces, which represents all of the military units of the Principality of Hutt River.
