Captain Amarinder Singh served in the 2nd battalion of the Sikh Regiment from 1963 to 1969. Though he left for a short period in between, to take over his family's responsibilities, his love for the Army brought him back as the Indo-Pak war broke out in 1965.

Before him, his father, Lt General Maharaja Yadvinder Singh was in the regiment in 1935 and served as Colonel from 1938 to 1950 and 1950-1971, respectively.
