Based in Tern Hill, Shropshire, they have deployed globally since re-rolling. The 1st Battalion has a strong history of recent deployments including Iraq, Afghanistan, Mali and numerous other overseas deployments and exercises.
The 2nd Battalion is an Army Reserve Battalion with Company groups across Northern Ireland. It is the 1st Battalion's first reserve, providing reinforcement to all 1st Battalion deployments and receiving direct support from their Regular counterparts. The 2nd Battalion also deploys personnel on operations and overseas exercises in its own right, including short notice deployment to Ukraine and sending training teams across Africa.
