There's at least one exception, though it's due to the French language and a quirk. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are also the Gendarmerie Royale du Canada and King George V made them a regiment of dragoons (awarded in 1921 for service in the World War so they could display battle honors for the three squadrons that served overseas).
