Royal amoured corps is the regiment

Sorry maunder123..... not correct. Deduct 10 housepoints and go to the bottom of the class....

“The Regiments of the Household Cavalry and Royal Armoured Corps today are descendants of the famous Cavalry Regiments who rode into battle on horseback as heavy or light horsemen; and of the Royal Tank Regiment who manned the first tanks during the Great War.

Today, there are 16 regiments that make up the Household Cavalry (HCav), Royal Armoured Corps (RAC) and Territorial Army's Yeomanry Regiments (TA Yeo).
They are equipped with the most formidable fighting vehicles in the world. The five Armoured Regiments have the battle-proven Challenger 2 (CR2) Main Battle Tank (MBT), the five Formation Reconnaissance (FR) regiments have the agile Scimitar (Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) - CVR(T)), and the Joint Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Regiment (Jt CBRN Regt) has the Fuchs with its ability to detect hazardous materials in any environment.

In addition, the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment (HCMR) provides mounted and some dismounted ceremonial duties for state and other occasions. “

The five Armoured Regiments are:
Royal Scots Dragoon Guards
Royal Dragoon Guards
Queen’s Royal Hussars
King’s Royal Hussars
2nd Royal Tank Regiment

The Formation Reconnaissance Regiments are:
Household Cavalry Regiment
Queen’s Dragoon Guards

Check this link. It gives details on each regiment’s history, current role, where they’re based etc

The ‘chemical regiment’ gives me the willies though.......

“Their high-profile specialist role calls for solders with a unique blend of skills and determination. “

No bullplop! Unless you like living in gas chambers, sniffing dangerous substances and generally being pushed into potentially involuntary body popping situations, I’d give this one a swerve.....

If you want to know what I mean check this link or search for ‘the effects of nerve agent’ on Youtube..... (have your sick-bag ready)
