Light cavalry reconnaissance troops can cover more ground, faster, than any other land asset in the British Army.
Ex SPRING STORM saw us cover up to 60km of forested terrain in hours, sweeping through Estonia at the front of a brigade advance.
A great privilege for our hard working @LDLightCav soldiers deployed on Ex SPRING STORM to meet πͺπͺ Prime Minister @kajakallas. Theyβve loved the exercise and show-casing increased π¬π§ support to Estonian Defence and NATO.
The Light Dragoons were honoured to be part of the coronation of HM King Charles III and HM Queen Camilla on 6 May 2023.
The historic day culminated with three cheers from over 6,000 troops and a flypast of the Red Arrows.
