Soldier: Ready for War

They’re an elite fighting unit like no other - steeped in tradition, primed for battle, and ready to die for King and Country. If Britain goes to war in Eastern Europe, these brave men and women will be on the frontline, laying down their lives to protect our cherished freedoms.

Soldier: Ready for War offers unprecedented access to the Royal Welsh, one of Britain’s most decorated armoured infantry units, as they live and train, ready to be called up at a moment’s notice to join the war in Eastern Europe. When the going gets tough, these are the guys you call.

For six months, our cameras follow the 1st Battalion Royal Welsh as they live, work and train, preparing for a war that looks likelier every day. We follow every trial, every tradition and every triumph, and witness the pride and the honour of serving in this incredible Regiment.
