All Household Cavalrymen are dual trained; on horseback and in the formation Reconnaissance troops on reconnaissance role.(or 'Recce' as they are more commonly known) As a Recce soldier you will normally work in a troop of 12 men and can be expected to spend long periods of time self-contained and on occasions behind enemy lines. Patience, nerve and cunning are essential characteristics of the recce soldier. The information you gather will help the commander decide what forces are needed to defeat the enemy.

ysbel said:Thanks skydragon! I don't know what the American equivalent is; usually the police have to pass an exam. A friend of mine went into the police force and we just said she passed her police exams.
Some of the recruits at the Army base near where I grew up, were passing out regularly (the American form of passing out ) in route to their course completion. It was regularly above 100 F in the summer and they were continually fainting on the long training marches with full kit.

Royal soldier Prince Harry was quick marching on the double to the bar on a night out at The University of Reading’s Student’s Union.
