Reconnaissance Platoon soldier
Good morning Gibson and thank you for your question.
To be a rifleman you will be required to apply for a combat role. Search on https://apply.army.mod.uk/roles
You do not need any qualifications. However, being combat you will need to be fit, motivated and enjoy being outdoors.
The required fitness standards for Infantry will include
2km run
A medicine ball throw
A mid thigh pull
