Exercise Northern Strike 🇺🇸

Recently, a troop of Royal Wessex Yeomanry soldiers deployed to Michigan for Exercise Northern Strike, embedded with 3 Royal Welsh.

The exercise gave our soldiers the opportunity to practise their dismounted skills in a very different environment. They drove US trucks and HMMWVs, trained with US weaponry and regularly flew in Chinooks, both day and night.

One of the highlights? Jumping from a Black Hawk straight into the middle of a lake! 🌊🚁

Joining the Army Reserve gives you access to unique opportunities to train overseas, develop new skills and make unforgettable memories.
