What is a Typical Morning in the Army? | Infantry Platoon Commander
Hi everyone - I have had a lot of requests for this type of video so I thought I'd show you all what happens in a typical morning in the Army when in camp, through the eyes of a platoon commander in the Infantry.
It usually starts with PT and in this video I jump on a company/platoon run with C 'Essex' Company, 1 Royal Anglian. Details of the run:
- 4 miles steady state
- 8/8:30 min/mile
- 1 water stop
Fitness is a big part of Army life, particularly in the Infantry. So doing some sort of PT happens most mornings.

Meanwhile in the lower ranks block. The lads are heaving from going out on the lash the night before and ushering out some pad brat or slapper they brought back the night before. Skipping brekkie and running on pure alcohol and spewing up all the way round the PT course. I miss them times haha..

How many soldiers, including the officer in charge, typically make up a platoon in the British Army? Is the commanding officer of a platoon a Captain or a Major? Do officers such as Majors, Lieutenant Colonels, and Colonels engage in direct combat with troops on the front line? I’ve heard that officers from 2nd Lieutenant to Captain typically fight alongside soldiers in the thick of battle, whereas those of Major rank and above primarily assume command and control responsibilities.

Oh so different from when I joined the Jnr Para Coy as a 15 year old in 1972. Then when we ran in the mornings it was in full combats and DMS boots, bunny hops and casually carrying along the way. We lived approx 14 to a room and we where constantly hungry. No helping yourself to portions then, a untrained cook would issue with the portions, try and steal another sausage and you would get a ladle over your wrist. No doubt the army has evolved but turning up without the uniform running gear would have ended up with you on a disciplinary and extra PT

Just one observation all that running on hard surfaces going to wear down joints knees ankles real bad, end up at this rate early onset arthritis age 40. Why not use treadmills or bicycles for exercise keep soldiers fit but preserve joints

In fairness, a good point. And we do use treadmills and bikes now and then, it's not always road running. But considering how many of us there are that are doing PT everyday, it would require a lot of equipment that isn't available and is largely impractical.
