The First Battalion The King's Own Royal Border Regiment are the only Infantry Regiment in the British Army that recruits exclusively from North Lancashire and Cumbria. Many generations of local men have served in the small close-knot teams that make up both the full-time and part-time Battalions of the KORBR.
KORBR is a large employer of local people through its Regular and Territorial Army Battalions. The Regular Army 1st Battalion is equipped and trained as Armoured Infantry at the very cutting edge of technology within the British Army. The KORBR recently completed a six mounth operational tour in Bosnia playing a key role in extending the conditions of peace.
