The final phase of Ex URBAN STRIKE "Execute" 🚁 ☄️💥. How about this for a final attack, 2 days of urban ops training for our SP, soldier first syllabus. After the "teach and reflect" phase, TTPs were refined, a strategy was implemented and an ethos was formed. #aboveandbeyond

Today we said goodbye to SSgt John Pye after 24 years of service. He deployed on many operations across the world including Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan. Those who knew you will miss your “whatever”! Good luck for your next chapter in life!

Completion of basic soldier training is the start point for all of our new recruits. The next phase of training is when our newly trained soldiers choose a career path.

Awesome. Owen Punter delivering challenging training (or it being delivered to / at him) right up to the final minute in the seat.
Our Battery Commander, Major Punter served his last day in 19 (Gibraltar 1779-1783) Battery. As a surprise, the Officers and Seniors organised a skydive for him as a thank you for all he has done for the Bty. #skydive #gibrocks #ourleader @26Regiment_RA

Join the Army before Apr 2015? Then this will affect you: forcespensionsociety.org/new…

It’s a big reunion day for 45 Regt RA, and as 176 Bty were part of that Regt in Korea, then it’s important to us too. Have a good day 45 Regt RA veterans! #KoreanWar #AbuSpirit #45RegtRA #gunners #ubique

A little local history: Bulford’s Kiwi patch is named after a #WW1 #NewZealand training camp on the same site. There are some splendid new boards to explain it all #wewillrememberthem #sacrifice #kiwi
