You can also get qualifications and skills as a carriage driver, saddler, farrier or tailor. With a great team around you plus Adventurous Training and sports, it’s an experience you’ll never forget. The Royal Artillery is the heart of the action - everywhere across the battlefield - providing the British Army with its eyes, ears and firepower. Using high-tech surveillance devices and uncrewed aircraft, the Royal Artillery finds the enemy. We then monitor them before striking decisively.
