Non-commissioned officers and other ranks

Non-commissioned officers and other ranks serve in the armed forces, carrying out military duties to defend and protect the nation. Their responsibilities include training, leading, and supervising soldiers, operating weapons and equipment, and maintaining discipline within their units. They take part in military exercises, peacekeeping missions, and operational deployments both in the UK and overseas.

These roles often involve providing specialist support such as engineering, communications, logistics, or medical assistance, depending on the branch of service. Non-commissioned officers also play a key role in mentoring junior personnel, ensuring readiness, and upholding standards within the armed forces.
