In an attempt to break free of the shackles of sectarianism he experienced in his youth, Fulton joined the British Army's first battalion, the Royal Irish Rangers, in 1969. However, within weeks of enlisting, he was approached by MI5 to work as undercover agent for the highly secretive Force Research Unit (FRU). 'Discharged' from the British Army in 1971, Fulton was sent back to Northern Ireland to infiltrate the IRA in Newry and the staunchly republican bandit county of South Armagh.
