The First Battalion (1 PWRR) is an Armoured Infantry battalion, known as the Armoured Tigers and is made up of three Warrior companies, Fire Support Company and Headquarters Company. As Armoured Infantry, the majority of our soldiers are mounted in the Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicle. This heavy metal beast is powered by a 17-litre engine, and packs a fearsome punch with its 30mm Rarden cannon and 7.62mm chain gun.

In the back of each Warrior, a section of seven highly-trained infantry soldiers sit ready to carry out their mission, be it taking enemy positions, distributing aid or bringing peace to a troubled and war torn land. As we are armoured specialists, we are also trained to maintain and service the tracked vehicles that carry us into battle. You will find us doing this wherever we are; whether in an operating base in Afghanistan or on training in Canada.

Armoured warfare is fast and furious, and you need to be able continuously to assess the situation and react quickly using your skills, training and knowledge.
