Officers teach Soldiers in the UK as well as educating troops from allied forces, ensuring their development throughout their career and maintaining the British Army’s reputation for world‑leading training.

Officers and Soldiers of the Adjutant General’s Corps provide support to the Army in many forms, from training and administration to personnel support and policing.
