Step 2: Learn If You’re Ready

Armed Forces Missions

The British Military has many missions. Their primary mission of course is to defend global British interests. Looking more closely though, you can see that they do a lot more than fight battles. Some examples of military missions include:

The Royal Air Force

• Rescue operations
• Medical assistance in impoverished areas
• Food & humanitarian aid relief
• Military security at embassies and other locations
• Policing in volatile areas
• Natural disaster relief
• Law enforcement
• Piracy and drug interdiction

The Army

The military is also the nation’s biggest group of international ambassadors. As such, there is a great deal of responsibility and respect to show.
