During February 2025, the Signals Platoon of The First Battalion, The Royal Gurkha Rifles (1 RGR), became the first unit to use the new ‘My Training App’ now being implemented across the British Army to successfully conduct the Infantry Basic Radio User and Intercom Cadre (2501 and 2502). A total of eighty-five soldiers completed the Cadre, including eighty-three from Recruit Intake 24 (RI24) and two from previous intakes. The training took place at Tuker Lines, British Forces Brunei.
The primary objective was to train soldiers in section-level radio systems, qualifying them as Grade 1 soldiers. Individuals engaged in intensive training sessions covering various aspects of military communications. The successful completion of this Cadre not only enhances the operational capabilities of 1 RGR but also underscores the commitment and proficiency of its soldiers.
