Infantry Regiment
Saturday, August 14th, 2010Which Infantry Regiment in the British Army see the most combat in afghanistan?
I'm not talking about the para's or royal marines. I heard it was the Grenadier guards?
regiment wise, it will be one of the bigger regiments that have 3-5 battalions,
Regiments such as the Rifles who have 5 battalions (which basically means there is usually at least one Rifles battle group in Afghanistan at all times)
The Grenadiers only have one battalion so only turn up every couple of years on average
as for which Battalion has seen most combat, your never get a real answer, because every ones will claim it is their own Battalion that does the most fighting,
