As part of their preparations to take over as the Lead Armoured Battlegroup, the 5 Battery Tac Gp has completed a range package in Castlemartin with the 1 MERCIAN Battlegroup.

This consisted of dismounted dynamic moving ranges and night shoots to hone small team skills and drills. It also included completing chain gun shoots in their armoured Warrior Observation Post Vehicles.

This week our soldiers have been out on the range competing in the 3 Deep Recce Strike Brigade Operational Shooting Competition, honing their skills on both rifle and pistol. The shoots on this competition are physically demanding, being designed to simulate situations our soldiers could face on combat operations.

A team of 8 went head to head against Regiments from across the Brigade, with one of our troops winning Champion Solider, a prize for the best shot of the competition!

A great opportunity for our soldiers to get out and represent the Regiment whilst practicing some of the fundamental skills of soldiering.
