World's Most Feared Soldiers: Royal Gurkha Rifles In Training

The Royal Gurkha Rifles Regiment is conducting field training during the final phase of Exercise Saber Strike. The Royal Gurkha Rifles (RGR) is a rifle regiment within the British Army and is part of the Brigade of Gurkhas. Unlike other regiments in the British Army, its soldiers are recruited from Nepal, a country that is neither a dependent territory of the United Kingdom nor a member of the Commonwealth. The Gurkhas are a distinctive unit within the Army, known for being among the world's most elite and feared soldiers. The Victorians recognized them as a "martial race," attributing to them particularly strong qualities of toughness.
