After you’ve successfully finished phase-one training, you’ll be appointed Troop Commander and start your phase-two training. You’ll be commanding around 30 men, most of whom will have several years’ service behind them. Don’t be daunted, though. You’ll have a very experienced Troop Sergeant as your second-in-command, who’ll understand exactly the kind of support you need. You’ll also work closely with your Company Commander and three corporals, who’ll take on much of the day-to-day running of the troop. There’ll also be two of your phase-one teammates in the same company going through the same transition, so you’ll never be alone. And sharing your successes and problems over a drink in the Officers’ Mess will always help!

Ready for action:
During this time, you could be sent on operations in Afghanistan or anywhere else in the world, and if you’re not on operations, you’ll be responsible for your troop in camp or on exercise. This could be anywhere – from Norway to the Caribbean – and you’ll have the chance to work with other national forces. You’ll also work closely with your Company Commander to develop a rewarding programme to keep your men motivated and ready for action at all times.
Sense of achievement:
The challenges you’ll face will be enormous, but the sense of satisfaction and achievement will be second to none. On top of that, your phase-one training will have prepared you well. By the time you’ve finished phase-two, you’ll have gained a great deal of invaluable experience and commanded men on operations. That’s an opportunity not many people will ever experience.
