After I turn 18 can I instantly apply for the specialised infantry in Belfast?If so how many years it the contract

James A.

Reconnaissance Platoon soldier

Thanks for your question

There are currently only 4 battalions who are in a specialised infantry role

If you wanted to do this role you would have to join one of these battalions

They are currently

4 rifles
1 Scots
2 pwrr
2 lancs

They are probably very non commissioned officer heavy due to being observer/mentors and required to have teaching qualifications in various things

Hope this helps
