FOR THE RECORD 102
The images included in this edition are taken from across the last 12 months,
where Covid Force Health Protection measures have led to some changes in the way training has been conducted. To allow training to continue with minimal disruption, platoon level households have been formed. Within the household social distancing measures were permitted to be reduced to maintain training outputs.
