Competing in the open 540kg ranks, the soldiers negotiated a tough group of 11 teams before facing reigning champions Chinese Taipei in the semi-finals.
Defeat saw them pulling against Basque Country outfit Gaztedi in the battle for bronze, but another loss meant they missed out on a podium place.
However, given the relative inexperience in the ranks, coach Capt Gaz Wyatt (RA) was delighted with the performance.
“We won bronze in 2023 but being in the army we lose people to postings and deployments,” he told SoldierSport.
“For some, this has been their first year on the rope. When you look at the civilian clubs they are so settled, but I have been training people and teaching them the sport.
“So what they have achieved is unbelievable.”
Other highlights this year included a silver medal while representing England in the 560kg division at the British and Irish Championships. They also claimed three medals at the English league finals.
