4th Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment
4 YORKS are our regionally-based Army Reserve battalion and have companies and detachments in towns and cities across Yorkshire and Teesside. Over the past few years, 4 YORKS completed a successful multi-national exercise in Lithuania, a major exercise in Denmark, mobilised in support of flood relief in West Yorkshire and to deliver COVID-19 mobile testing teams across the north of England. In addition, 4 YORKS soldiers were mobilised and deployed alongside the regulars of 2 YORKS on Op TORAL 9 in Kabul, ably demonstrating the utility of the reserves.
The Battalion recruits and trains from Army Reserve Centre (ARCs) located in York, Hull, Barnsley, Sheffield, Huddersfield, Leeds, Bradford, Catterick and Middlesbrough.

Over 150 soldiers were mobilised on the British Army’s Op RESCRIPT to deliver COVID-19 testing across the north of England in April 2020.
