What are the requirements of being a Rifleman?

James A.

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

Sir James, I need you to help me in recruiting me in the Army. I have applied for the infantry soldier and I am more interested in joining the British Army.
