As Armoured Infantry, we are equipped with weapon systems to defeat the enemy from kilometres away to the point of the bayonet. This morning, First Fusiliers honed the skills and mindset that it takes to be Combat Infantry. #FusilierFightingSpirit

Well done to our Fusiliers who have just successfully completed the demanding JNCO Cadre in Brecon. These, soon to be, LCpls have demonstrated the skills and personal qualities required to lead Fusiliers. It takes courage to put oneself under the leadership microscope 💪

During the Afghanistan campaign, 7 Fusiliers gave their lives, and many more sustained injuries. The Fusiliers converged in remembrance on 4 Oct, Afghanistan Day. The First Fusiliers, deployed in Kosovo, stand with fusiliers across the world in remembrance of our lost family.

A visceral display of infantry courage, discipline and spirit at the semi-finals last night. Hard fought bouts and skilful boxers 🥊 Congratulations to 3PARA for winning the fixture and best of luck in the finals. You boxed exceptionally well. The Fusiliers will be back...

Being a Combat Infantryman is about having the #ArmyConfidence to push yourself harder than you thought possible. You do it for yourself, and you do it for the person next you; your teammate who you know is doing the same for you. This is belonging. This is #FusilierFamily . 💪

The Fusiliers continue to mark the significance of the D-Day landings with our annual Normandy Day on 6th June. In particular, the gallant actions of 2nd Bn The Royal Warwickshire Regiment - who landed at ‘Queen Beach’ as part of 185 Brigade - are remembered. #Fusilierheritage
