wtf are you all on about. the RHA do state ceronmonial events and sometimes get to compete in competitions .. any particular amount of people are sent to afgan at any one time as they are initially trained as COMBAT SOLDIERS. most will just deliever amuition to troops on the frontline etc...

The Royal Horse artillery, which itself is in the Royal Artillery, consists of three operational regiments, two in the field artillery role and one in the airborne artillery role (the 1st, 3rd and 7th regiment respectively). The King's Troop is also a part of the RHA and is essentially a purely ceremonial unit.

It's a common misconception that the British Armed Forces do not have purely ceremonial units. Royal Horse Artillery, Royal Air Force Regiment etc. It's said that they draw personnel from active combat units, but this is the norm for most countries, and is not unique to the UK.

yeah but come on which do u think is a safer regiment to be in the kings royal horse artillery or the coldstream guards?

The artillery is RHA is slightly safer than infantry units

KT, RHA are a purely Ceremonial Unit. Occationally, some of them are able to go away and do odd jobs....and I mean ODD jobs, such as drivers....or in one particular case, running a car wash in Basra. Otherwise....100% ceremonial! Good day!
