SkillsRecruits joining the Westminster Dragoons initially concentrate on learning the skills needed to become an infantry soldier. As well as learning to march and look after their kit, recruits learn to shoot, to live outside in a tactical environment and the other combat skills required of all British Army recruits. Once through basic training, troopers concentrate on learning Land Rover off-road driving and maintenance, radio communications, navigation and our core specialism of CBRN reconnaissance.

ks On completing all these courses, soldiers diversify into instructor courses such as combat marksmanship, range management, drill, signals and physical training. Troopers may also take specialist training such as the All Arms Commando Course and parachute training, or qualify as combat support troopers, medics or storemen. Every WD soldier can also take driver and operator courses for vehicles such as the Fuchs (pictured on the What We Do page), CVR(T) and DROPS vehicle. |
