100 Regt RA (V)
A wide variety of Training is on offer.
Soldiers receive a wide variety of training from the day they first arrive at the gates of the TA Centre as a potential recruit through their entire career in the Regiment.
Recruits undergo a rigorous training programme designed to prepare them for their Basic Training Course. They return to the Regiment ready for continuation training and this is largely based round the role they have chosen or been selected for. A wide variety of courses are available designed to prepare our soldiers technically and tactically for the job at hand. On completion of such courses, our soldiers qualify for promotion and better rates of pay and return to the unit more effective soldiers. Many of our soldiers embark on the physically challenging Pre Parachute Course (P Company) and the Parachute Course at RAF Brize Norton, allowing them to wear the coveted Para Wings.
Military Training
It is vital our soldiers receive a healthy blend of military training balanced with good social and sporting opportunities not only at Regimental level, but in National Competition. So it is not all work and no play in 100 (Yeomanry) Regiment. Whenever the opportunity to engage in sport, adventurous training and social events, our soldiers are actively encouraged to do so. The Regiment is very active in Skiing, sport parachuting, golf, football and orienteering. There are many competitions (military and civilian) in which we enter teams and we enjoy success throughout.

100 Regiment give Light Gun support to Cadet 150
You would not normally associate the Army Cadet Force with being allocated Light Guns in support of their platoon attacks but that is exactly what happened this year. Over the weekend of the 21-22 August guns and gunners from 100 Regiment deployed in support of two separate ACF camps.
201 Battery based in Luton supported the Beds & Herts ACF on the Longmoor training area, and 307 Battery based in Nottingham supported the Nottingham ACF on their camp near Catterick.
The batteries ran a round robin stand for all the cadets there. Each group was shown how the Fire Support Team would send a fire mission, the drills and equipment in the Command Post and also on the gun, but better was to come.
The following morning the guns fired in support of the cadets final attack using smoke canisters on the objective. A large audience witnessed the mission at the gun end and two lucky cadets were given the opportunity to order 'fire' to the gun. The response from the cadets and instructors was very positive indeed, and it was great to give the cadets some exciting and interesting experience of the Artillery.
