What is the Army?

Do I really need to answer this question? The British Army is, apparently, one of the most technologically advanced organisations in the world. But it's not just soldiers on the front line, the Army is made up of a large body of people working in a number of different sectors, requiring engineers, mechanics, technicians, scientists and more. The Army's first job is to defend the interests and people of the United Kingdom from a number of military threats. Its second responsibility is to defend those interests, and those of others under the guidance of NATO and the UN in international disputes.

Entry requirements and type of person suited for the Army.

The type of person suited to joining the army will be a hard-working and motivated individual, but one who is also able to work well within a team. High levels of personal fitness and logical problem solving skills will be essential. Good communication skills to effectively deliver instructions to those under your command is a must, and the ability to follow orders from those higher in the hierarchy must also be within your ability.

No information about degree classifications specified.

Future prospects and training at the Army.

Army officer training will develop and increase a number of personal skills, such as leadership and team-work skills and the ability to make decisions under pressure.

Promotion opportunities from Officer to higher ranks in the army is an achievable goal for a hard-working applicant.
