Episode 1 – Behind the CAMO - What does the Army do?

Welcome to Behind the Camo – a four-part virtual event series that lifts the lid on what it’s really like to be in the British Army.

Across the series, you’ll hear directly from serving soldiers, explore the wide range of roles available, and get honest answers to the questions people don’t usually ask. Each episode tackles common myths head-on, using real stories and humour to show that Army life is more diverse, supportive, and rewarding than many expect.

Whether you're curious about career options, wondering what daily life looks like, or unsure if you’re “Army material” – this series is for you.

In our first episode, we explore the Army’s core roles in defence, peacekeeping, and humanitarian missions, brought to life through personal stories from serving soldiers. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions live during the event, with our team on hand to respond in real time, giving you direct access to honest answers and real experiences from Army life.
