The Regiment is a teeth arm frontline tank unit. Our mission is to destroy enemy tanks and support the infantry in close combat. To achieve this we are equipped with 58 Challenger 2 organized into 4 Sabre Squadrons.

Challenger 2 is undoubtedly one of the world's most potent main battle tanks. The Regiment has already proved its abilities in peace support operations in Kosovo and operations in Iraq.

In addition the Regiment also fields an elite Close Reconnaissance Troop mounted in 8 CVRT. These are light tracked armoured vehicles that rely on speed and guile. Their task is the covert location and observation and sometimes destruction of the enemy. As such they are usually found well forward of the leading forces.

An Armoured Regiment is of little use however, if it is not properly supported. For this reason the Regiment has a large Headquarters Squadron. This Squadron supplies ammunition, fuel, and rations to the Regiment. It also includes specialist technicians, mechanics and artisans, as well as clerical and medical staff.
