Recruiting

The 1st Hussars is a Primary Reserve Armoured Regiment based in London and Sarnia, Ontario. With a long and storied history, including participation in D-Day and World War II, the regiment operates today as part of the Canadian Army’s Reserve Force.

As an armoured soldier, your primary role would involve operating and maintaining advanced military vehicles such as armoured fighting vehicles (AFVs), including the modern variants of tanks and reconnaissance vehicles. You would be trained to:

Being part of the Primary Reserves allows you to serve part-time, typically one evening a week and one or two weekends a month, with opportunities for full-time employment during the summer or on special missions. It’s a flexible way to contribute to Canada’s defense while pursuing your civilian career or education.
