1st Regiment Royal Horse Artillery

1st Regt RHA is the Royal Regiment of Artillery's premier Regiment. I traces its history back to the reign of George III in 1793 and has served with great distinction since that time across the globe.

100 Regiment's 307 Battery has a direct affiliation with 1st RHA through the Nottingham link. The city provides both units with their recruits and many of 307 Battery's people have served in 1st RHA.

7th (Parachute) Regiment, Royal Artillery

In order to fulfil its out of area commitments,7 RHA must be capable of fighting in all theatres. As a consequence, the Regiment exercises extensively at home and abroad. In the last year the batteries have trained in USA, Canada, Kenya, the Falkland Islands, and Poland, not to mention its involvement in the War in Iraq.  100 (Yeomanry) Regiment sent 38 members to reinforce the Regiment during the conflict and a strong relationship exists between the two Regiments.

29 (Commando) Regiment, Royal Artillery

Since re-rolling as commando Artillery 29 Commando Royal Artillery has deployed around the world in support of 3 Commando Brigade. The Regiment has operated in every major conflict the British Army has been involved in. This includes Brunei (1962), Borneo (1963 – 1966), Aden (1966 – 1967), Cyprus (1974), The Falklands (1982), Northern Iraq (1991), Bosnia (1994), Cyprus (1995), Kosovo (2000), Sierra Leone (2001), Afghanistan (2002), Iraq (2003) and numerous Northern Ireland tours throughout this period.

In between these operational tours the Regiment trains hard to maintain a high state of readiness. Annual deployments to Norway in winter, and around the Globe on board Royal Navy ships, ensures the Regiment’s skills for its main tasks of Arctic and amphibious warfare are constantly improved.  Exercises are frequent and varied, and have recently occurred in places such as Belize, Brunei, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Canada, America, Sardinia, Italy, North and South Africa, Australia, Jamaica, Europe and most recently Kuwait.

The Regiment is currently equipped with the 105mm Light Gun that fires a shell up to a range of 17.2 km. This is ideally suited to the Commando role as it is versatile and is easily under slung from a helicopter, dragged through the sea, snow and sand and still fires with lethal accuracy; the light gun has seen action on a number of operations.
