A Yeomanry

Scottish and North Irish Yeomanry

The Scottish and North Irish Yeomanry is the Army's newest combat regiment. It may have only entered the Army's order of battle in 2014, but the regiment's predecessors have a proud history that stretches back hundreds of years. As a light cavalry regiment, the Scottish and North Irish Yeomanry uses light armoured vehicles such as the JACKAL to get around, although it soldiers are just as effective when operating on foot. Their reconnaissance role requires them to work far ahead of other friendly forces, gathering intelligence on the enemy and the local environment. They then send this information back to commanders, who use it to make important tactical decisions. The Scottish and North Irish Yeomanry is paired with the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. Together they train and serve on important operations all over the world.
