Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Pictured are 1 RIFLES Soldiers training on the Sennybridge Training Area.

The First Battalion The Rifles (1 RIFLES) have been Exercising on Sennybridge Training Area, despite the onset of Storm Diana.

1 RIFLES are due to deploy on Op TORAL in 2019, providing mentoring and security in Kabul, Afghanistan.

To prepare for this task the Riflemen, are training hard and practicing working with the Foxhound Vehicles they will be using in Kabul.

1 RIFLES is a Regular Infantry Battalion of around 550 Riflemen.

It is based in Chepstow, Gloucestershire; from where it deploys worldwide on training missions and operations.

Originally within 3 Commando Brigade, 1 RIFLES is now part of 1st (UK) Division - which heads up the British Army's Light Role Adaptable Force, optimised for the challenges of today, both within the UK and abroad.

1 RIFLES are currently ready to deploy as the Vanguard Light Infantry Battalion as a part of a NATO Battlegroup. This means that if a significant international incident requires a NATO response, 1 RIFLES will be amongst the first units within NATO to deploy.

1 RIFLES has recently taken part in exercises in Kenya and Belize and conducted the longest operational tour of Iraq in recent years (18 months). This gave all members of the Battalion to deploy, helping to train the Iraqi Security Forces in their fight against Da’esh.
