105 Regiment Royal Artillery RECRUITING NOW WE ARE AN ARMY RESERVE UNIT BASED IN SCOTLAND AND NORTHERN IRELAND!

105th Regiment Royal Artillery. Looking for a role that suits you?

An Reserve Regiment based in Scotland and Northern Ireland

The Royal Artillery or 'Gunners' are at the heart of the action, finding and striking the enemy where it counts and providing the British Army with its firepower. The Scottish and Ulster Gunners are a Field Artillery Unit. We use the Army’s most versatile Gun – the 105mm L118 Light Gun – also used by the Parachute and Commando Field Artil

lery Regiments of the British Army. The Light Gun can be towed by a medium-weight vehicle (such as a Pinzgauer TUM/HD or Hagglund BV206 all-terrain vehicle) or carried around the battlefield underslung by a Puma or Chinook helicopter. Royal Artillery L118 Light Guns are fitted with an Automatic Pointing System, which enables the gun to be unlimbered and in action in 30 seconds. APS is based on an inertial navigation system; operated via a touch screen. Fire Support Teams (FSTs):
Our light role regiment is organised into Fire Support Teams (FSTs) to find the enemy and our gun batteries provide the firepower for the strike. Our dismounted FSTs find the enemy on the battlefield using lightweight lasers, MSTAR radars, thermal imaging and night vision equipment. Once the enemy location is identified, the FST coordinates guns, mortars, attack helicopters and fast jets to deliver a devastating strike. Command Post:
The Command Post is the “brains” of the unit. Taking information from the FSTs and calculating the gun data using an advanced Firing Computer for the guns to strike the target with pinpoint accuracy. Guns:
Our three gun batteries equipped with Light Guns are highly mobile and accurate and pack a lethal punch. The 6 soldiers' Gun Detachments are the workhorses of the unit, working as close-knit teams to deliver fire in all weather conditions, day or night. Logistics:
Logistics soldiers form the backbone of the Royal Artillery. Without drivers, chefs and logistics specialists resupplying the Batteries with ammunition, food, water etc we could not function. Ceremonial Duties
105 Regiment has the honour of firing 18 Royal Salutes at castles in Edinburgh, Stirling, and Hillsborough in Northern Ireland. Adventure Training:
