Today @27Sqn conducted an exfil of 8 Battery @29_Commando Royal Artillery. What was unique about it? We didnβt land! Connecting and lifting light guns and winching teams allows @3Cdo_Bde teams to fire and airborne manoeuvre in any terrain, whether on hillsides or in jungles.

#CommandoGunners.
@29_commando are the gunners of @3_CommandoBde. These green berets have a vital job providing artillery support and gunnery observation.
We will soon be launching a feature video looking at their special role... watch this space.
