They recruit from an area that stretches from Stirling, the regimental home and RHQ, in the east, north to Glencoe, westwards to Isles of Tiree, Mull and Islay, south throughout Argyll and Dunbartonshire and across the Clyde taking in Greenock and Paisley.
They are shortly to re-role into the British Army's newest, best equipped and most exciting Infantry Brigade - 16 Air Assault Brigade as an Air Assault Infantry battalion. They will be trained to deploy anywhere in the world when required to at short notice.
The Argyll and Sutherland Highlander soldiers are employed on humanitarian, peacekeeping and other operations (e.g. Afghanistan and Iraq ), as well as training.
