Air Chief Marshal Sir Rich Knighton took over command of the Royal Air Force - the first non-pilot to be the RAF's Chief of the Air Staff. Taking over from Air Chief Marshal Sir Mike Wigston, Sir Rich will oversee 37,000 regular and reserve personnel and 4,000 civil servants.
Well done to the @Army1MERCIAN #Football team who won the Army 6-a-side competition at Grantham today. Drawing in the winners of all league and corps competitions, the standard at the competition was high, so an excellent result for the team. #StandFirmStrikeHard
We're nearly ready for the biggest military parade in 70 years. Over 7000 Defence and Commonwealth service personnel will be on parade on Saturday. But that's not the whole story, nearly 2000 civilian and military are working behind the scenes to make it all possible @BritishArmy
As Rfn switched from 'field' mode to 'ceremonial' mode for the PJNCO Pass-Off. @ArmyCGS was the inspecting officer - a great privilege for the Bn. The senior leader in the Regt/Army with the newest leaders in the Regt/Army. Rfn Hale was awarded 'Top Student'. @RiflesRegiment
Production, combat simulation and reliability trials. The AJAX Programme is at the heart of Army modernisation, provides more than 4,000 jobs in the UK, and the #GDLS facility in Merthyr Tydfil is a cutting-edge domestic industrial hub. #GDUK @BritishArmy
Last night @Army1MERCIAN fought the 2nd Battalion, Parachute Regiment in the Army Boxing Championships. Despite wins at Middle, Heavy and Superheavy-weight, it was not enough to defeat an excellent team from 2 PARA. As ever: #StandFirmStrikeHard.

@Army1MERCIAN are building their #Readiness and currency on the #Warrior Infantry fighting vehicle this week. Recently trained #Armoured #Infantry gunners carry out maintenance checks at #dawn before firing their first live rounds down range. #Readiness #ArmouredInfantry #SFSH
Our soldiers are away in Kenya, Oman, Poland, across the UK in support of ESCALIN and RESCRIPT, and upskilling on the Support Weapons cadres - there’s not many left for CO’s PT! It’s getting cold, protect those hamstrings!! #sfsh @1UKDivision @The_Black_Rats @MercianRegiment
I completely agree with this thread, from @Nails_ZeroAlpha. The real trick is having a mess that educates whilst forming a culture of belonging and pride. I think it comes from balancing regimental traditions with being brave enough to do things a little different where needed.
