“Fix Swords!” is a command given to our Riflemen when they are about to engage in close combat with the enemy. In The Rifles, we call it a sword, not a bayonet.

3 RIFLES’ snipers keeping their expert skills razor sharp. The term sniper originates from the marksmen who were able to hunt and shoot the elusive and small bird species, the Snipe.

As an Army Reservist, you can expect to be paid average earnings of about £3,400 in your first year, on top of getting to fire the GPMG. But the opportunities to push yourself in other areas are extensive including leadership training, sport and adventure training.

Having the option to get transported by helicopter is a technological innovation that would have stunned our forebearers in the 18th Century. Whilst the technology we use may have dramatically changed, our ethos of innovation remains as strong today as it was 200 years ago.
