103 HQ & Support Squadron recently hosted a Regimental exercise that spanned over the course of three days. The exercise aimed to
provide troops with comprehensive training, covering Individual Training Requirements (ITRs) and other relevant tactics, with a focus on hands-on experience.
The exercise was conducted around St George’s Barracks and surrounding airfields, with troops having access to a range of interactive displays that covered an array of topics. The ITRs covered individual skills such as weapon handling and first aid, while other tactics taught troops how to attack and defend with their section, withdraw from enemy contact, navigate in different conditions, communicate effectively
in challenging environments, blend in with their surroundings utilizing camouflage and concealment, use ground signs for effective communication, and conduct a manual search of vehicles.
To ensure maximum effectiveness, the training areas were carefully selected to provide troops with the most comprehensive training possible. The areas were designed to be realistic and challenging, providing troops with a hands-on experience that
allowed them to apply their knowledge in a real-world setting.
Despite the challenging weather conditions, all participating troops were able to gain valuable experience and learn new skills. Junior troops had the opportunity to learn new lessons, while the more seasoned troops were able to refresh their skills and acquire new techniques. The condensed exercise proved to be highly effective, as all the troops were able to take part and take away valuable lessons.
Overall, the exercise was a fulfilling and rewarding experience for all participating troops. It provided them with the opportunity to acquire new skills, refresh existing ones, and work together as a cohesive team. The training also demonstrated that effective and enjoyable training can be delivered in small, manageable chunks that are easy to understand, allowing troops to remain up to date with their ITRs while also learning new and valuable skills. The exercise was a prime example of the importance of comprehensive training to ensure that troops are fully equipped to face any challenge that may arise.
