What is a Typical Morning in the Army? | Infantry Platoon Commander
Hi everyone - I have had a lot of requests for this type of video so I thought I'd show you all what happens in a typical morning in the Army when in camp, through the eyes of a platoon commander in the Infantry.
It usually starts with PT and in this video I jump on a company/platoon run with C 'Essex' Company, 1 Royal Anglian. Details of the run:
4 miles steady state
8/8:30 min/mile
1 water stop
Fitness is a big part of Army life, particularly in the Infantry. So doing some sort of PT happens most mornings.

Meanwhile in the lower ranks block. The lads are heaving from going out on the lash the night before and ushering out some pad brat or slapper they brought back the night before. Skipping brekkie and running on pure alcohol and spewing up all the way round the PT course. I miss them times haha..

Hello sir

[@gregghoulden4453]

I’m not going to roast you as the military has evolved via science since my Commission into the Royal Marines in 1987. First was the terrible running in DMS mk 2. Plus the RM have psychopaths as PTI’s. It really looks so more evolved and almost SF sensible level of respect. Thanks for letting me grumble internally about “In my day” Best Regards Greg

[@binos8843]

Did you happen to feature in the 1987 documentary, “How to make a Royal Marines officer”, by any chance? It’s been uploaded to youtube and it is a fantastic documentary.

[@djrxp]

Haha, appreciate the comment Greg, glad it bought back some memories. Yes, the training has evolved somewhat, but the core of what we do remains the same

[@Stanly-Stud]

DMS in '87?? No mate I joined in '85 ( Royal Artillery) & we were issued combat high boots. Infact I remember 29 Commando guys came round to recruit & they all wore combat high boots. Definitely in '87 no one wore DMS. I was in '87 attached to the Green Howard's in Londonderry & they had combat high boots & the SA80. I still had an SLR.

I do miss all that. Although, I must say, 4 miles back when I was in would have just been the warm up. Also, a lot of mixed orders of dress there. Have the British Army scrapped uniformity these days?

How many soldiers, including the officer in charge, typically make up a platoon in the British Army? Is the commanding officer of a platoon a Captain or a Major? Do officers such as Majors, Lieutenant Colonels, and Colonels engage in direct combat with troops on the front line? I’ve heard that officers from 2nd Lieutenant to Captain typically fight alongside soldiers in the thick of battle, whereas those of Major rank and above primarily assume command and control responsibilities.
