Combat
As a combat soldier you could be on the front line as part of a fighting force or carrying out humanitarian missions in peacetime.
You can also learn skills that are vital to any job or career. You have to be able to drive in the Army - we will teach those who haven't yet passed their driving test. You could also be taught mechanics, how to operate isolated radio stations and engineering skills.
Once you are fully trained, you join a Regiment or Corps depending on your area of interest and specialisation:
The Infantry
At the forefront of military operations (posts are open to men only).
The Royal Artillery
Use the latest weaponry and specialist armoured equipment (posts are open to men and women).
The Household Cavalry and the Royal Armoured Corps
Specialise in manoeuvre warfare and have a ceremonial role as the Queen's personal escort and bodyguard on horseback (posts open to men only).
The Army Air Corps
Ground crew operators maintain the Army's Apache Helicopters (posts open to men and women).
