Building Bridges: UK Defence Attaché Visits Bermuda to Boost Regiment Support

A visit to Bermuda by the head of British Defence Staff in the US (BDSUS) allowed the Royal Bermuda Regiment to provide updates on its recent progress and explore ways in which the battalion can be further supported by the UK.

Rear Admiral Tim Woods, CBE, was on the island last month, when he was hosted by His Excellency the Governor, Andrew Murdoch, with whom he has an official role as defence advisor.

As Defence Attaché (DA) at the British Embassy in Washington, R Adm Woods serves as a representative of the UK defence establishment in the US. He is responsible for bilateral military and defence relations.

His visit to Bermuda allowed formal meetings with the Governor and the RBR Commanding Officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Duncan Simons, both of whom have assumed their positions since the head of BDSUS was last on the island in 2023.

After nearly two weeks of intensive training—including drill, weapons handling, and teamwork exercises—the new recruits are celebrating their success and encouraging others to step forward.

Private Romell Bourne, 37, said completing the course felt like an achievement he once thought was out of reach. The mental health nurse from Devonshire explained, “One of the things I definitely learned was time management because that is a major thing in the army; and discipline, lots of discipline.”

The soldiers, now more than halfway through their intensive training, have spent the past week immersed in a packed schedule of lessons, drills, and early-morning workouts. For many, the experience has pushed them beyond their comfort zones and toward greater personal development.

Private Tiquann Pieroni, 31, joined the Regiment to develop stronger discipline and focus.
