About Us
The Royal Dragoon Guards have traditionally provided a Main Battle Tanks and Armoured Reconnaissance component to the British Army, but recent operations have allowed us to demonstrate our flexibility in all areas of modern-day soldiering.
We have recently returned from our second operational tour to Iraq where we provided the armoured capability for 4th Mechanized Brigade in the southern city of Basra.
This operation allowed the Regiment to demonstrate its flexibility be deploying in three different vehicles - the Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank and the Warrior and Bulldog Armoured Fighting Vehicles.
The Regiment is currently undertaking a training year in preparation for deploying on operations again - probably in Afghanistan - in 2010. As part of this training year the Regiment recently returned from a 2 month exercise in Alberta, Canada.
