Our Regimental Communities

The Military App, colloquially known as ‘RAC Connect’ has proven to be the standout choice for a Royal Armoured Corps community platform. Although we are only just starting out on this journey it is clear that its ease of use, coupled with the depth of functionality available, will make it an indispensable tool for improving efficiency across the Corps. Beyond the technology itself, what truly sets Allegr, the Company behind the App, apart is the human service they provide. The team consistently goes the extra mile, from a smooth, supportive onboarding process to always being on hand to assist and advise whenever needed.

We are genuinely excited about how this platform can transform the way we will connect across the RAC, bringing our community closer together and enabling us to operate with greater cohesion and effectiveness.

Allegr Ltd have throughout been responsive, accessible and have gone the extra mile in helping The Royal Lancers to be appropriately prepared for our imminent launch on The Military App, which as a result I am confident will go well.

For some considerable time now, we The Royal Scots DragoonGuards have been trying to find the right tool that would help us achieve ourgoal to get better at ‘Harnessing our Network’. Having attended a brief about the Military App at the annual gatheringof the Royal Armoured Corps Regimental Secretaries in Nov 2024, my interest inthe App was triggered immediately, as for me this was potentially the key toallow us to connect every element of our Regimental Family (Serving, Veteransand Families), whilst also giving us the platform where we could deliver theone version of the truth for all matters SCOTS DG.  Move forward 10 months and today (01 Oct2025) we launched SCOTS DG Connect!  Theset up and Launch process is now a well-trodden path for the Military App Team,so the support and guidance given to the Regimental SCOTS DG Connect ProjectTeam throughout this period has been outstanding.  Ensuring that SCOTS DG Connect was set up todeliver the immediate impact desired, displaying its utility from the outset,delivering for our people, through the provision of a professional, wellstructured and user friendly platform that is already bursting at the seamswith useful information – I have no hesitation in recommending the Military Appto other Units and Organisations’

The Queen’s Royal Hussars are about to launch QRH Connectwithin the Military App. Both our serving and veteran communities are excitedabout the new app as it will provide a community platform for our ServingPersonnel, Veterans, Partners & Families and antecedent Regiments toconnect with each other via specific groups on one platform; something that ourcurrent website and social media platforms don't do. The app is easy to use andhas a depth of functionality available that will bring a greater efficiency tothe organisation.  We are confident itwill transform the way we can communicate and engage across the entireRegimental Family.

The service we have received from Allegr in the buildup andpreparation has been exceptional, providing in-house and online training andsupport throughout.

For those that haven't grown a membership yet, I thoroughlyrecommend the Military App, which is the stand out choice for a regimentalcommunity platform.

The SNIY formed in 2014 and joined the line as one of thenewest combat regiments in the British Army, and moreover, the Army Reserve.With a disparate geographic spread of sub-units, as many ARes units cantestify, pulling those lines of effort into one cohesive 'catch all' place forour serving, veterans and family communities was a perennial issue.

Notwithstanding the myriad social media platforms, we'reable to access, as good as they are, they lack the personal touch and sense ofbelonging that particularly our veteran's community crave.

Military App offers, and delivers, a one stop shop for ourpeople, where they are able to access recent news articles from the Regiment,be informed of forthcoming events, both formal and informal, and link up withthe old comrades associations, from the fiercely guarded antecedent Regimentsthat make up todays family.

From an app support viewpoint, Ben and Robin have providedunwavering support to us Regimentally and remain fully invested in our successthrough their advice and input. Furthermore, the wrap they have afforded ourHonorary Colonels, and Yeomanry Trust has been second to none.

In my capacity as the ROSO, and point man in the fight forclear and concise communication, pan Regiment, I unreservedly recommend theMilitary App as the unrivalled solution for linking up the Regimental Family.

TNF Connect marks a bold step in our digital evolution; an app-based environment to enhance accessibility, communications, event management, and through-life support, all of which combine to reinforce our impact. By joining Allegr Ltd and the Military App Community, we are strengthening connection across our UK, NI, and global stakeholders. This initiative is made possible thanks to the generous support of The Forces Trust and The Seafarers’ Charity and reflects the power of partnership in shaping the future of veteran engagement.

Richard Walker OBE, Chief Executive, The Not Forgotten

“We launched Royal Anglian Connect on our Regimental Anniversary in September 2024 and have already grown our active app membership to over 1800 veterans, serving personnel and families. The Military App platform has transformed our ability to connect and support our wider Regimental Family and it gives us the tools to easily share updates, build participation in events and drive peer support. We have already seen the benefit of the platform and it forms the cornerstone of our people and communications strategy moving forwards. The Military App team are excellent and deliver a stand-out service, and with so many other units on this platform, we gain from collaborative efforts and shared best practice. I highly recommend the Military App to other Corps and Regiments.”

Ian Robinson - Project Manager Royal Anglian Connect

"The Military App and its activities have exponentially increased the number of in-person touch points for our veterans and families. When we launched in late 2022 we saw large numbers of our members registering on the app and with over 40 new, local activity groups created all across the UK we've seen a transformational impact. From a survey of SP and veterans engaged in these new activities, 96% said they felt more connected with their Regiment and 89% felt an increased sense of purpose and fulfilment. The Household Cavalry highly recommend the Military App."

Capt (Retd) Chris Elliott - Honorary Secretary, The Household Cavalry Associations

"We’ve had over 2000 members of the Fusiliers family sign up to Fusiliers Connect and we are now seeing a Fusilier community (serving, veteran, family) that is better connected than anything we have seen before - walks, breakfasts, coffee clubs, welfare support - all born of an ability to share information and connect the wider Regimental family.

For stretched and often under-resourced Regimental Headquarters and Associations, the Military App service provides a transformative solution without the need for additional in-house skills and capacity. This is why the Fusiliers, after an extensive tender process, selected the Military App as the platform to connect and support our members."

Col (Retd) J W Denny MBE - Regimental Secretary, The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers

"The Military App is a game-changer for the Army Air Corps and wider Army Aviation community. Following a 6-month review to look at digital platforms that would best support our Serving Personnel and Veteran People Strategy, it was the clear choice in functionality, service and cost. We have over 2000 members on the platform and are seeing growing excitement and engagement around our 'Eagle Connect' project. The Military App Team are a pleasure to work with."

Lt Col Bernie Fowler - Army Air Corps Secretary

"As part of our Veterans' Strategy, we wanted to engage quickly with our Serving Soldiers and Association Members.  The RTR were cautious about finding the right digital platform and looking across the Army for what is being used elsewhere. The Military App was clearly the best service to support our Veterans' Strategy.  We are very happy with the service from Allegr and we are already seeing great engagement with veterans and enthusiasm across the Regimental and Association groups."

Capt (Retd) Dean Hutton, Regimental Secretary RTR

“The Mercian Regiment carried out a lengthy review into the way we were communicating with our serving, veterans and wider Regimental family. The Military App provided the ideal solution for us to better connect and support the Regimental family.

The Regiment launched Mercian CONNECT in the summer of 2024, the platform has been easy to use and to date has received an overwhelmingly positive response from our users. It is simple to post news and events that will be of interest to the wide Regimental family.

Ben and Robin provide an outstanding service and are extremely responsive in answering questions or providing advice. In addition their understanding of the needs of the Regimental Headquarters is excellent which allows collaborative development of our site; Mercian CONNECT

I would unreservedly recommend the Military App as a complete solution for connecting with the wide Regimental Family.”

Brigadier (Retd) P Dennis CBE, Regimental Secretary

"Many Regiments face the same challenges in needing to better support, connect and communicate with their Regimental Families.  After extensive research into other platforms and initiatives, The Military App became by far the stand-out solution for us, the service and support provided by them, showed their absolute understanding of the frictions we experience in RHQ’s.  I recommend this fully to other Regiments."

Capt Mike Jones - Assistant Regimental Secretary, The Royal Welsh

“The Op Belonging Foreign and Commonwealth Community joined the Military App platform as it gives us the tools to better support and connect F&C members and their families that are often dispersed across the AF Community. The platform is great, easy to use and will play an important role in our future engagement strategy.”
