Army Sport Supporting British Army Sport activities for serving personnel

WHY SPORT MATTERS
Sport prepares soldiers for operations by enhancing physical and mental fitness, resilience, leadership, and teamwork. It fosters cohesion, pride, humility, the ability to thrive under pressure and the courage to overcome fear. Sport sharpens the competitive edge and inspires a will to win that enables us to meet our core purpose, to protect the nation by being ready to fight and win wars on land. Sport contributes to the ‘Offer’ to our people; plays an important part in Army life, including recruiting and retention; and can provide excellent public visibility of the Army. Authorised sport is a Condition of Service with duty status and is a core activity that cannot be considered discretionary.

Congratulations to our Army athletes who travelled to Texas, USA, to represent Team UK at the 2026 IPRF World Championships.

Competing against some of the world's finest precision r***e shooters, Army personnel played a key role in helping Team UK achieve its most successful IPRF World Championships to date, demonstrating outstanding skill, professionalism, determination and teamwork throughout the competition.

Representing both the British Army and the United Kingdom on the world stage were:

* Capt Robert Dunlea-Jones (QOY)
• Lt Col James Sewell (REME)
• Maj Paul Calvert (RDG) – Captain of the 25-person Team UK squad
• Sqn Ldr Dan Owen (RAF)

The championship saw Team UK secure an impressive medal haul, including:

🥈 Individual Open Division Silver – Joe Pask
🥉 Open Team Division Bronze
🥈 Ladies Team Division Silver
🥉 Seniors Team Division Bronze

The Military/Law Enforcement (Mil/LEO) Team also delivered a strong performance, finishing just 12 impacts away from a bronze medal, narrowly missed as Australia claimed the final podium position.

Reflecting on the team's achievements, GB Precision R***e Association Chairman Duncan McIlwaine said:

"You have represented the United Kingdom with enormous pride and demonstrated the quality, determination and team spirit that exists within British precision r***e shooting."

To compete and succeed on the world stage against elite international competition is a fantastic achievement and highlights the exceptional talent within Defence shooting sport.

A proud moment for Army Sport, Team UK, and everyone involved. Congratulations on an outstanding performance in Texas

Army Sports Awards 2026 | Team of the Year Winner

Congratulations to the Army Offshore Racing Team, winners of the Army Sports Awards 2026 - Team of the Year award

The team continues to set the benchmark for representative sport, competing against some of the UK's leading civilian and military sailing programmes while delivering success year after year.

In 2026, they secured a fourth consecutive undefeated Services Offshore Regatta title, produced an outstanding performance in the prestigious Round Britain and Ireland Race, and continued a legacy of excellence that spans almost three decades.
