Founded in 1716 by Royal Warrant under King George I as permanent field companies at Woolwich, it grew into a full regiment by 1722 and has served in every major British conflict since, earning the unique battle honour \"Ubique\" (Everywhere) and the motto \"Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt\" (Whither Right and Glory Lead). Unlike most British Army units, the RA is structured as a single regiment comprising multiple individual regiments—currently thirteen Regular units, the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery for ceremonial duties, and five Army Reserve regiments—rather than separate regiments in the traditional sense. Equipped with systems like the versatile L118 105mm Light Gun for rapid deployment and advanced targeting technologies including drones and radars, the Gunners deliver precision strikes in support of ground forces, while specialist units handle close support, deep fires, and air defence roles worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"1-regiment-royal-horse-artillery-british-army-tea-mug-gift","title":"1 Regiment Royal Horse Artillery British Army Tea Mug Gift","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e1 Regiment Royal Horse Artillery (1 RHA)\u003c\/b\u003e is a premier Close Support Artillery regiment within the British Army, primarily tasked with providing offensive fire support to armoured and mechanized brigades.
