Strong results across the board for 17 Regiment, The Royal Logistic Corps at Exercise Northern Strike 2026, held at the Defence School of Transport.

​Both our male and female teams pushed through a punishing series of events; including the 8km loaded march with CBRN serials, obstacle courses, military skills stands, and the final 2km best effort.

​The results speak for themselves:
🏃‍♀️​Female Team: 1st place in the 2km best effort; 2nd place in the 8km loaded march.
🏃‍♂️​Male Team: 2nd place in the 2km best effort; 3rd place in the 8km loaded march.

​A massive effort from all six members of each team to secure podium finishes against tough competition across the Corps.

​Great to share the ground with our paired unit Port Regt who put in a fantastic performance of their own (swipe to see a few shots of their team in action!).

A big thanks to the RLC Photography team for allowing us access to their images of the event.

Physical readiness underpins our operational edge, driving the high standards demanded across the British Army.

​Maintaining peak physical capability is central to the role of our service personnel, whether preparing for demanding logistical tasks or completing mandatory physical standards like pull-ups during the Soldier Conditioning Assessment (SCA). This routine physical conditioning is not just about meeting baseline requirements; it is a vital platform for building resilience, discipline, and shared purpose.

​Our service personnel are currently getting on the bar to combine their physical training with community impact. By channelling the energy of their daily fitness routines into supporting vital cancer research, the team is proving that hard training can deliver meaningful effects far beyond barracks. Every repetition on the bar serves a dual purpose: sharpening individual fitness for operational demands while raising crucial support and awareness for life-saving scientific research.

Great day at the 17 P&M Golf Society event held at Wellow Golf Course. The format included a 9-hole, 2-player scramble followed by 18 holes of individual Stableford, providing a fantastic mix of team and individual competition.

With 24 golfers in attendance, the event was very well supported and enjoyed in beautiful weather. There was some excellent golf on display (alongside a few challenging moments!), but overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable day on the course, rounded off with some fantastic prizes.

These events are open to all serving personnel and veterans. The next event is scheduled to take place at Dibden Golf Course on Wednesday 3rd June (TBC). We look forward to seeing you there. Please contact the Regiment Golf IC Hugh Mcgarvey if you interested

Soldiers swap issued PT kit for pink, to mark International Women’s Day and support Breast Cancer Now

​We believe that recognizing the achievements and health of women is central to a strong, inclusive, and effective military force. To mark International Women’s Day, 17RLC handed the lens and the pen to Pte Bungay and Sgt Spann. They captured a CO's PT session with a twist. Soldiers were encouraged to exchange elements of their uniform kit for something pink, supporting a cause that affects women of all ages.

​The morning was driven by a live DJ and high-tempo energy. It concluded at a "carb reload station" where a charity cake sale raised vital funds. The words of our personnel tell the story best.

​"For more than a century, people around the world have marked International Women's Day on 8th March. It is a global day recognizing the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. Because women historically lacked recognition and power, their day became a significant global movement."

​"Breast Cancer Now is a charity in the United Kingdom which was formed in 2015 by the merger of Breast Cancer Campaign and Breakthrough Breast Cancer. It is the UK's largest breast cancer charity. Its declared 'Action Plan' is 'by 2050, everyone who develops breast cancer will live'."

​"The brightest minds in breast cancer are here. Making life-saving research happen in labs across the UK and Ireland. Right now, they are funding 80 cutting-edge research projects worth over £27 million. Let's help them discover how to tackle secondary breast cancer, develop better treatments, prevent and diagnose breast cancer early, and improve people’s quality of life." — Pte Bungay & Sgt Spann.

Our event raised over £350. Not bad for a morning's work - your turn!
