Robert H Royal Armoured Corps As an officer we have a duty to look after our soldiers, physically but also mentally. We sometimes have to make difficult decisions, even when they're not easy. You're given responsibility early on, but it's introduced gradually. From the start, you're trusted to look after yourself, your kit and support your team, with clear guidance and support in place.
