“No comms, no bombs”
Today is World Radio Day. Despite being invented in 1890 and advancements such as the internet, radio remains a vital form of communication in both the civilian and military world.
During tours of Iraq and Afghanistan, troops also relied heavily on for both news and entertainment while working remotely in hostile environments. Likewise, radio communication with neighbouring patrol bases was an essential lifeline.
Regardless of trade or specialism, all Honourable Artillery Company soldiers finish Phase 2 with the RA Basic Signaller qualification, making them experienced with wide variety of radio communication systems.

Adventurous training is among the many benefits of life in the HAC, undertaken alongside the usual soldiering commitments and designed to develop soldiers in bold, challenging, and exciting ways.
