最近在写克雷纳维尔与兰贝斯时都遇到了这一词汇，疑似是奥地利近卫军中的一个单位：
克雷纳维尔：
Posts and Offices (Army, Politics, Court)
Commander of Fiume: 1806-1807/08
Grand Master of the Household to Archduke Rainer of Austria: 1823-1832
Lieutenant Captain of the First Arcièren Life Guard: 1835 – 21.06.1840
...
In 1831 he was promoted to General of Cavalry and four years later to deputy commander (= Lieutenant Captain) of the First Arcièren Life Guard in Vienna, which post he hold until his death in 1840.

兰贝斯：
Posts and Offices (Army, Politics, Court)
Commanding General in East Galicia / (since 1805:) Galicia: 09.1800 – 31.12.1806
Captain of the First Arcièren Life Guard: 31.12.1806 – 21.11.1825
...
On 3 December 1806, he was promoted to General der Kavallerie and - a few weeks - later appointed captain of the Erste Arcièren-Leibgarde in Vienna;

Google了一下出现了一个德语维基词条“Arcièren Leibgarde”，不过词条里并没有对应的英文或其他语言翻译：

翻译的话就是“德意志近卫军”了？

不妨按照字面意思直译为
弓箭手近卫军（Arciere源自意大利语Arciere，意为弓箭手）
There were only small ceremonial units made up of red-coated, gold-laced noblemen: the Hungarian Noble Guard, Arcieren (Archer) Life Guard, Trabant Life Guard, and Galician Noble Guard, plus one lonesome company of regular infantry, the "Hofburg Watch."
