TALLINN MARATHON - ESTONIA

After months of training, plenty of late nights and early mornings, personnel from 158 Provost Company completed the Tallinn Marathon on 13th September 2026, raising funds for Combat Stress.

Cpl Day, LCpl Harris and LCpl Watson set the goal of completing the mentally and physically challenging endurance event at the start of Op CABRIT 18, whilst still performing operational duties. Combat Stress was chosen as the leading UK Armed Forces Mental Health Charity, and in recognition for the support it gives to those with complex mental health issues after service.

🧤⚽ Inspiring the Next Generation of Army Goalkeepers ⚽🧤

A huge shoutout to SSgt O'Donnell (160 Pro Coy, 3 RMP) who recently launched the a Female Goalkeeper Camp, officially approved by the Army FA and designed exclusively for female goalkeepers from across all Corps.

Planned and delivered by SSgt O'Donnell (AGC RMP) and LCpl Tonks (AGC SPS), the three-day camp provided a fun, supportive, and empowering environment for players to develop their skills, build confidence, and connect with fellow goalkeepers from across the Army.

Among those attending were Sgt Smith (160 Pro Coy) and Sgt Turner (158 Pro Coy), 3 RMP, who joined other talented players for an intensive programme focused on:

✅ Distribution & leadership on the pitch
✅ Mindset & reset triggers
✅ Technical foundations & handling
✅ Space management & the tactical mind

The camp marks a fantastic step forward in developing female football talent across the Army and highlights the commitment of those driving opportunities for women in sport.

Leading from the back, inspiring from the front. 👏⚽💪

🥇🥈🥉INTERSERVICE CANOE SLALOM CHAMPIONSHIPS – 1RMP 🥇🥈🥉

WO1(RSM) Brown and Cpl Barnes recently attended the Interservice Canoe Slalom Championships at Pinkston, Glasgow. Both celebrated success with Cpl Barnes winning gold at the C1W competition and a bronze at K1W. WO1 Brown won a silver in C1M and bronze in K1M. In the team race competition, they placed third, winning another bronze.

The RMP positioned overall second in the Intercorps Championships, unfortunately ending a 5-year reign at the top, but a great effort with only two participants!

The British Army uses sport as way to build physical fitness, mental resilience, and leadership. It encourages athletic competition, sharpens the competitive edge, and reinforces the teamwork and unit cohesion needed to perform effectively under high-pressure combat conditions.

Well done both 🛶

🏅 RMP Coaching to Medals at the 2026 Commonwealth Games!!!!

We are proud to share that on 1st August 2026, Cpl Sarah Barritt of 160 Provost Company, in her capacity as Performance Lead Coach for the Northern Ireland Judo Federation, coached her Judoka and sister Miss Rachael Hawkes to a Bronze medal for Northern Ireland at the 2026 Glasgow Commonwealth Games.

Cpl Barritt has taken the role of Performance Lead for the Northern Ireland Judo Federation since February 2025 and in just over one year has produced a Commonwealth Games medallist. It was no easy task. It was a difficult start with her Judoka picking up an injury in the first fight however, in true professionalism, Cpl Barritt tended to her player and got her back on the mat coaching her to a win in her second fight against her Welsh opponent.

The final fight of the day was against a strong Canadian for the Bronze medal. Showing tenacity, professionalism and dedication to her player, Cpl Barritt coached Rachael through the Bronze medal match to secure the win. Cpl Barritt’s commitment to not only her day-to-day role but her role within the Northern Ireland Judo Federation shows her dedication to sport, fitness and demonstrating the RMPs commitment and support to personnel and sporting endeavours.

Congratulations to Cpl Barritt on this amazing achievement and we hope to see her coach Northern Irelands finest players to many more top-level medals! 🏅

*A MESSAGE FROM BRIGADIER PRINGLE-SMITH* 🫡

On Sunday 2 August, our first RMP Corps Day at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, I handed the Provost Marshal’s sword to Brigadier David Dray.

It was a moment of immense pride, but also one of deep reflection.

Together, over the past three years, we have modernised our policing, strengthened our operational relevance, placed victims, standards and legitimacy at the heart of our work, and renewed confidence in the unique contribution of the soldier-police.

But our greatest achievement is not any single programme, system or structure. It is a capability that knows its worth, is ambitious for its future and remains filled with extraordinary people who serve with courage, professionalism and quiet determination.

“A society grows great when people plant trees under whose shade they do not expect to sit.”

I hope the shade we leave behind is a MP capability stronger, more trusted and better prepared for the future than the one we inherited.

It has been the greatest privilege of my career to serve as Provost Marshal and to lead the Royal Military Police, the Military Provost Staff and the Military Provost Guard Service.

David, the sword - and the privilege of leading our people - are now yours.

Rally Provost.
