Prince Gabriel of Belgium will continue his education in the military.

Prince Gabriel will receive his Master’s Degree in Social and Military Sciences today, and it has been announced that he will continue his training in Arlon.

The royal palace told VRT NWS, “Prince Gabriel will continue his path within the Defence Forces at the Infantry School in Arlon, where he will be trained as an infantry platoon commander. Subsequently, he will undergo paratrooper training in Marche-les-Dames and Schaffen.” Following this, he will obtain the paratrooper badge.
