    Troops from 3rd Battalion, the Parachute Regiment, have been training in Jordan alongside soldiers from 20 other countries as part of Exercise Eager Lion. For the men of C Company, 3 Para, it was a chance to test themselves in arduous terrain against their international allies. Eager Lion is the largest exercise to take place in the Middle East, involving 5,000 troops, including 214 personnel from the UK.

      @Stu3100 4 роки тому +1

      The Great One it’d depend on what unit/corps he was in, courses he’d passed and length of time he was out before they’d determine the rank he’d rejoin as.

    • @PaddyInf
      @PaddyInf 4 роки тому +2

      @@abes3925 Yea, basically different trades and regiments have their own promotion cadres. If he was a Cpl who had done Junior Brecon, he may have been able to go back in as a Cpl if he rejoined within a set time frame and there are slots for that rank. However if he was a LCpl he probably would drop down as the LCpl courses are typically run by individual regiments. The rules change regularly depending on recruiting requirements.
      To answer the OP - Very few regiments or corps in the British Army have time promotion. We have to be recommended and pass courses to promote.
