14 Regiment Royal Artillery (14 Regt RA) is the dedicated "Training and Support Regiment" for the Royal Artillery, stationed at Larkhill Garrison, the spiritual home of the Gunners. Unlike frontline regiments that deploy operationally, its primary mission is to deliver Initial Trade Training (Phase 2), transforming soldiers who have just completed basic training into qualified gunners, signallers, and drivers. The regiment is structured uniquely for this educational role: 24 (Irish) Battery manages the training of new recruits, while 34 (Seringapatam) Battery provides the necessary equipment and manpower to support the Royal School of Artillery's courses. Because it facilitates training for the entire corps, 14 Regt RA maintains a diverse arsenal of weaponry—ranging from the L118 Light Gun to the AS90 and MLRS—ensuring that every soldier gains hands-on experience with the specific platforms they will operate in their future field units.
