The Royal Mercian and Lancastrian Yeomanry
The Royal Mercian and Lancastrian Yeomanry (RMLY) is a Territorial Army regiment whose history dates back to 1794 when volunteer cavalry troops were raised to assist in times of invasion and civil unrest.
The RMLY's mission is to provide Challenger 2 (CR2) War Establishment Reserves (WER) to the Regular Army.
The RMLY was formed in 1992 by an amalgamation of the Queen's Own Mercian Yeomanry and the Duke of Lancaster's Own Yeomanry.
The future will see the RMLY continue to support operations in Afghanistan and other theatres where there is a requirement for the Regiment's personnel.
This year the Regiment is very proud to be sending a cohort of forty men and women out to support Operations in Afghanistan, this will be the largest mobilisation the Regiment has undertaken since its formation.
Training for this deployment started back in 2009 with an exercise in Germany, highlights of this exercise can be seen in the film below.
