Congratulations to everyone from the @field_army that were selected for promotion today. For most of you it’s the first rung on ladder, embrace the rank wear it with pride and make sure you use it.
As the @ArmySgtMajor says ‘Rank is an opportunity to do more for our people’.
Our people are the heart of everything we do. A soldier who feels valued and empowered as part of the team, is a soldier who will give their all with a ruthless will to win on the battlefield.

Ex #JOINTENDEAVOUR is not only reinforcing our professional interoperability, it also highlights how much the Ukrainian and British airborne have in common: our values, a fighting ethos and an unbreakable sense of brotherhood. #AlwaysFirst#ЗавждиПерш
