Op CABRIT 18 - Ex SPRING STORM 26

BADGER deployed to Southern Estonia for Exercise SPRING STORM 26 as part of the 1RW Battlegroup.

Crews were tested in unfamiliar terrain over a vast exercising area. Challenger 2s navigated through villages, operated on public roads and cleared through dense forests with dismounted armoured infantry in Combat Teams. Challenged by complex ground, unmanned aerial systems and a dynamic enemy, BADGER crews enjoyed testing different tactics to achieve decisive success.

INNOVATION

This week the Regiment ran an innovation day for all ranks from across the Iron Division.

Delivered and resourced by DREADNAUGHT’s new Recce, ISR and STRIKE troops, the day showcased the grassroots innovation and capability development being done by the RTR BG to ensure that it remains at the leading edge of contemporary combined arms warfare.

On display were demonstrations of under-armour UAS, fibre optic FPV drones, thermal FPVs, and simulators to name but a few.

The day was designed to inspire and encourage budding innovators and potential operators to explore any interests they have in emerging capabilities and to see what is possible with some ingenuity and integration.

FEAR NAUGHT - The ROG tests its self through the medium of Bayonet training. Bayonet fighting is a close-quarters combat technique using a rifle-mounted blade, designed for offensive, fast-paced assaults. Ultimately it is a test of fighting spirit, controlled aggression, and readiness for major combat operations.
