Colonel Robert Boyle DL.
Honorary Colonel
B (LDY PAO) Squadron,
based in Leicester, is one of the most exciting and vibrant TA
units in the Midlands. The Squadron's role is to provide
specialist reconnaissance skills using some of the army’s most
up-to-date equipment.
 |
Recruiting from a wide area, drawing our
members from all over Leicestershire, Derbyshire and
Northamptonshire and further a-field.
The Royal Yeomanry train to work alongside the regular army
in reconnaissance and the detection and decontamination of
chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear hazards.
This means that Yeomanry soldiers cross train in a number of
disciplines from basic infantry work, to cross country driving,
to technical skills. A considerable proportion of the
Squadron have applied these skills on operations in Iraq and
continue to train to the highest standards.
|
The Squadron enjoys very strong links with the Regular Army,
in particular the
9th/12th Lancers with whom a number of soldiers have served
recently in Iraq.
