Gathering intelligence by stealth is an art, it requires the 'skills of a poacher'. We require fit, bright and well motivated young people capable of using their initiative to work in small teams in evehicles or on the ground.

You will find that you are trained, trusted and given the expertise to send the right information back effectively and speedily to inform everyone else of the movements of the enemy, or call up to get the enemy engaged by other units from the heavy armour of the Army or aircraft.

A planned career is open to everyone who joins and each recruit will have the opportunity to develop personal skills and trades that will not only enhance their military career but also stand them in good stead on return to civilian life.

Many of the skills that you learn count towards civilian-recognised NVQ qualifications. You also have a basic entitlement of 42 days paid leave each year along with generous travel allowances and, being based in Germany, you will be entitled to many tax free benefits.

If you're between 16 and 33 years old and are interested in further information about joining the Army as a Trooper in the Queen's Dragoon Guards, contact your local Armed Forces Careers Office and ask for information about 1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards.
