Armoured Infantry

Armoured Infantry is at times a very challenging role. Not only must you have to maintain your skills as an Infantryman but that also of a crewman or commander of one of the most impressive fighting vehicles in the world - The Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicle.

An Armoured Infantry Battalion forms the backbone of a Mechanized Brigade. Our main role in conventional warfare is to strike deep into enemy positions using the speed, protection and firepower of our vehicles. In the past year our vehicles have seen action in Afghanistan.
