phases. The first phase of

ally, under the commitments
of operational and non-op-
erational deployments, the
Regiment was able to release
a number of Officers and
Other Ranks for the training programmes conducted
both in local and overseas
institutions which are immensely benefi- cial to their career development process.

Being the most senior Regiment of
the Sri Lanka Army, the 1st Reconnais- sance Regiment is known to many as a Regiment with pride and dignity which intends to carry out each and every order by being exemplary to other Regiments in the Corps. In order to maintain the
prestige and values of the Regiment, all Officers and Other Ranks are contrib- uting their maximum to the Corps and the Army to fly high the Regiment colours for the years ahead.
