The regiment has a long and illustrious list of battle honours including World War I and World War II. In more recent times, B Squadron were the first armoured reconnaissance squadron to deploy to Bosnia when the hostilities began. It seems only fitting then, that they were also the last armoured reconnaissance squadron to leave Bosnia in October 2003. In 2005 the regiment serves in the formation reconnaissance role with 1st UK Armoured Division. They are, however, currently the reconnaissance regiment for 7th Armoured Brigade (The Desert Rats). The regiment uses the CVR(T) family of vehicles in its role, with each of its three fighting squadrons holding a number of each variant.
