Great week on the pistol range. Whilst the infantry spends most of its time using rifles it’s important that we keep current with our secondary weapon in case the need arises. The SCOTS Army HQ Scotland British Army in Scotland

A great introduction to mortars for the BKA jocks and some interesting training serials combining Battle Group assets. Even better as it showed the great positives of an The SCOTS joint training serial.

The story of HMS Birkenhead. This event is attributed to “ the custom of allowing “women and children first” onto life boats. As Rudyard Kipling would write in “soldier & sailor too”- “But to stand an' be still to the Birken'ead drill is a damn tough bullet to chew”.

Fires enabling manoeuvre - the final argument of Kings. Or in this case softening up a target to enable 2 platoon to cross ground and get into their attack positions. Skilfully simulated using PE by an explosives safety officer. The SCOTS Army HQ Scotland
