His commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Charles Bairsto, paid tribute to "a strong and natural leader", who was "dedicated to his family".
"The death of Cpl Gill is sorely felt," he said.
"His family have lost a loving and doting father, husband and son. His friends and fellow Rangers will miss a much-loved and respected leader.
"The Army has lost a professional, capable, and loyal Special Operations soldier, whose contribution to the team made it much stronger than the sum of its parts; he made a real impact throughout his distinguished career.
"Our thoughts are with his family at this incredibly difficult time. A chosen man never forgotten."
The Infantry Battle School in Brecon "delivers trained officers and soldiers to meet the operational requirements of the Infantry, the Army and Defence," according to the MoD.
