After some well deserved Easter leave the Regiment is energised and ready to continue striving for excellence in the light cavalry role.

To date the Regiment has seen several subunits building their skill sets across every attribute of soldiering with culminating exercises on Salisbury Plain.

Another busy year ahead and plenty of opportunities for each and every dragoon.

What does your day job entail?

Dragoons from A and C Sqn have wrapped up the first training cycle of 2026 with a culmination of dismounted and mounted exercises as well as dismounted and mounted ranges. This cycle took place across the UK at several training locations in all weather.

Now with the cobwebs blown off and skills and drills honed to an edge it's time to push comfort zones and develop individual and team prowess in the light cavalry role.

๐Ÿš€ Just back from Salisbury Plain with A and C Squadrons!

They've been putting their heads together (and boots on the ground) to master impressive vehicle mounted tactics and dismounted skills.

From navigating the rugged terrain in vehicle platforms to perfecting tactical drills on foot, they've been pushing ourselves to the limit.

Shoutout to the dragoons for their hard work and dedication. Let's keep raising the bar!

A first in the Regiments history and an even bigger first for the entire Armoured Corp as Lt Mackenzie become the first female to make the British Army Alpine Ski Team at the Inter Services Alpine Ski Championships.

This has seen Lt Mackenzie push herself physically and mentally to her limits to achieve it. And reaching speeds of 40mph+ on steep downhills between technical sections is not uncommon in this discipline.

Adapt or get left behind! ๐Ÿ’ก The world of drone warfare is evolving fast, and staying ahead of the curve is crucial. From AI-powered swarms to counter-drone tech, the battlefield is changing rapidly. ๐Ÿ’ป

A selection of dragoons from across our squadrons have get to grips with in-service equipment that gives the light cavalry an edge on the modern battlefield. Adding yet another sensor to their vast suite of optics and sighting systems.

Key takeaway: Flexibility is key. As tech advances, our strategies and tactics must too. Staying agile and innovative is key.
