The Ministry of Defence confirmed that the 21-year-old has moved to Bovington Camp in Dorset in order to learn how to become a troop leader.
The prince, who is known as Cornet Wales, will eventually command 11 soldiers and four Scimitar tanks.
Prince Harry, who is in the Household Cavalry's Blues and Royals, will spend four-and-a-half months training as a "recce soldier".
The prince's training will include learning about communications and information systems in the vehicles, gunnery training and armoured tactics training.
Following completion of his training, Prince Harry will become a qualified troop leader and will either return to his regiment in Windsor or be deployed to a conflict zone.
