The Regiment has changed from horseback to mounted in Jackal as a Light Cavalry Regiment in 51st Infantry Brigade, as part of 1 UK Division.
Light Cavalry specialises in mounted and dismounted reconnaissance which includes scouting for information about the enemy and engaging enemy targets.
We operate as the eyes and ears for follow up forces.
Operating off Jackal gives us great manoeuvrability with Squadrons able to operate independently at ranges over 500Km. We maintain key lethality with organic Sniper and Javelin capabilities, ensuring we can perform our role in “closing with and destroying the enemy”.
Our soldiers specialise in locating the enemy and passing on key information to our follow on forces. Close Target Reconnaissance (CTR) is one of the many actions we our able to perform to shape the decisions made on the battlefield.
