Armed Forces Day

Armed Forces Day

Do you know the weight of a soldier’s rucksack or Bergen?

To celebrate Armed Forces Day, The Royal British Legion asked civilians how much they thought the average soldier carries on operation. 

Civilians were asked to fill a backpack with 1kg bags of sugar and then try picking it up!

Do you think soldiers carry:

15kg

25kg

39kg

65kg

Find out the answer by watching The Royal British Legion video on Facebook

The Hippo All Terrain Support Vehicle was designed to reduce the burden on the soldier by providing a solution for payload and mobility across all types of terrain. Find out more here.
