🎖️ 3 Rifles battled it out to become the Chosen Man.

Soldiers put their core skills to the test during a week-long patrol competition near Edinburgh, competing for the historic title.

Not every fight happens in the open.

From narrow village streets to dense urban environments, the Infantry needs to be ready to operate wherever the mission takes them.

Legacy isn’t given. It’s earned. Wearing the cap badge of The Rifles means becoming part of a history built by those who came before you.

It carries standards, tradition and a reputation that demands something from everyone who wears it.

The legacy continues.

A key part of an infanteer's initial and ongoing training is Live Firing Tactical Training (LFTT).

From individual drills through to company-level attacks, soldiers are tested in realistic conditions.
