GLOBAL SITREP

摘要

PERSONNEL on tour in the South Atlantic found themselves tested by the harsh Antarctic conditions as they embarked on a shakedown of core soldiering skills. The troops - from 1 st Battalion, Welsh Guards - completed an arduous three-day midwinter training package working alongside colleagues from the other two Services. Having deployed from an Atlas A400M aircraft, they moved to conduct a mock platoon attack - backed up by the military working dogs of the Royal Air Force Police. The guards later spent a night with naval personnel on HMS Forth before rehearsing a beach landing supported by troops from the Falkland Islands' Defence Force. They are currently on tour as Roulement Infantry Company for the British overseas territory.
