The Scots Guards' annual Black Sunday parade witnessed His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent's final day as Colonel of the Regiment after a remarkable 50 years of devoted service. The Regimental family gathered in their hundreds to bid farewell with music, marching, memories, mementos and a heartfelt thank you, cheered by all. The Scots GuardsÕ Black Sunday is a key event of the year for this dual-role regiment, which cherishes a glorious history dating back to 1642. It is their annual remembrance Sunday service and parade, when they pay tribute to all that have gone before, and enjoy reconnecting with the Scots Guards family, old and new. This year was particularly poignant as it marked the final visit to the regiment of His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent in his role as their Colonel. The Duke of Kent has given selfless service and loyalty to the Regiment and, while they were sad to say goodbye, the Scots Guards were determined to give their Colonel the send-off he so richly deserved. Colonel James Leask, Regimental Lieutenant Colonel, The Scots Guards said: "The serving and retired elements of the Scots Guards Regimental Family came together in the GuardsÕ Chapel, on our Regimental Remembrance Sunday, to show their huge appreciation to His Royal Highness and to salute him one final time. ÒThe Duke of Kent has been at the helm of the Scots Guards for fifty years. He is the only Colonel most of us have known. He has been a constant in a rapidly changing world. His loyalty to the Regiment and selfless commitment to the country is an example to us all. A memorable day When The Duke arrived at Wellington Barracks, he was met by senior representatives of the Scots Guards and Associations before joining a service of remembrance in the Guards Chapel. The Scots Guards then marched down Birdcage Walk to the Guards Memorial on Horse Guards Parade for a wreath laying service. HRH laid a wreath while the Band of the Scots Guards performed a lament. The Duke then took his place on a dais in Birdcage Walk as the marching contingent of the Scots Guards Band, the Pipes and marching troops made up of serving soldiers from F Company and the 1st Battalion Scots Guards, reservists from G Company London Guards, and veterans from both battalions, delivered the final march past of the Regiment for their long serving Colonel. Pipe Major John Mitchell performed his own composition ÒThe ColonelÓ written especially for The Duke of Kent, as a fitting tribute during the parade. Back in barracks, HRH joined soldiers and their families in the Junior Ranks Diner where he was presented with a framed pipe banner and thanked for all his support over half a century. His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent said: ÒServing as Colonel of the Scots Guards since 1974, the longest anyone has spent in this role, has been a true honour and one which will forever fill me with great joy. Through those years, I have seen the work of the Scots Guards during peacetime and war and witnessed their bravery, selfless courage and devotion to duty. ÒTo my fellow Scots Guardsmen, I am immensely proud to have served you all. As your new Colonel, I am delighted that His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh will continue to champion all that you do and work towards preserving your great legacy.Ó As The Duke said his final farewells, his route was lined by members of the regiment from the 1st Battalion Scots Guards, F Company Scots Guards, G Company London Guards, the Band of the Scots Guards, and association veterans, all loudly cheering their Colonel. Their cheers and the sound of the Pipe Major performing ÒHighlanÕ LaddieÓ Ð the Scots Guards' regimental march Ð followed for long after he was gone. His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent handed over Colonelcy of the Regiment to His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh immediately following the parade. Colonel James Leask commented at the event that "The Regiment is delighted that His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh will shortly become the twenty-seventh Colonel Scots Guards. This is a seminal moment for us. It marks the end of a remarkable era and the start of a new and exciting chapter in our long and distinguished history." As the new Colonel of the Scots Guards, The Duke of Edinburgh said: ÒThe Duke of Kent has been an extraordinary Colonel of the Scots Guards. Quite apart from his depth of knowledge and keen understanding of the Regiment and all those who serve, past and present, he has been a tireless and passionate advocate. ÒIt is a distinct honour to be asked and entrusted by His Majesty to serve as the next Colonel. However, I accept with a degree of trepidation as I will undoubtedly be measured against the formidable record and reputation of my predecessor. I can only promise to do my best.Ó A lifetime of service At 18, His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent joined the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Royal Scots Greys. His Royal HighnessÕ military career included a regimental tour in Hong Kong before commanding a squadron of his regiment serving in Cyprus as part of the United Nations Force. He retired from the Army after 21 yearsÕ service in 1976 having attained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. His Royal Highness was appointed Colonel of the Scots Guards Regiment on 9th September 1974 Ð the RegimentÕs 26th Colonel. The Duke of Kent has devoted a record 50 years of service to the regiment Ð the longest of any Royal Colonel that has gone before. His Royal Highness has attended every Trooping of The Colour as Colonel Scots Guards since 1975. His Royal Highness has long supported the work of the Scots Guards and visited the regiment on a regular basis. This included travelling to Afghanistan and Iraq to meet members of the regiment on operational duties in 2008. Remembrance and reunion Whilst the 11th of November marks a National Day of Remembrance for everyone in the Armed Forces, the Scots GuardsÕ regimental day of remembrance stands, as always, in April, on the only Sunday that isnÕt Palm Sunday, Easter Day, or the London Marathon. It is a personal day to remember all Scots Guardsmen who have given their lives in service to their regiment and country since 1642. Everyone in the Regimental Family does their best to attend. Scots Guards Captain George Hopkins said: ÒBlack Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to strengthen the friendships that are so fundamental to our regimental ethos and identity. The Scots Guards continue to be at the heart of operational commitments across the globe. So occasions such as this offer a precious opportunity to reunite and reconnect across the generations.Ó ÒIt is an incredibly poignant and sombre, yet family orientated, day. We make no distinction on the day between officers and soldiers, and this is due to the underlying fact that it is a religious day of remembrance and therefore hierarchy isnÕt observed in the normal sense throughout the day.Ó An unrivalled history The Scots Guards were first raised as a regiment of Foot Guards by King Charles I in 1642 during the English Civil War. They were originally known as the Marquis of ArgyllÕs Royal Regiment of Foot, and their primary role was to protect the Scottish borders. However, they soon became involved in the wider conflicts of the time, including the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. During the Glorious Revolution of 1688, the Scots Guards played a crucial role in supporting William of OrangeÕs claim to the throne. They fought in the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 and the Battle of Landen in 1693, both of which were decisive victories for WilliamÕs forces. In the 18th Century, the Scots Guards saw action in various European conflicts including the War of the Spanish succession and the War of the Austrian Succession. They also played a significant role in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, where they fought alongside the British and Allied forces against Napoleon BonaparteÕs army. During World War I, the Scots Guards fought on the Western Front, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Passchendaele. They also served in the Middle East in the campaigns against Mesopotamia and Palestine. In World War II, the Scots Guards fought in North Africa, Italy and Northwest Europe. They were involved in the famous Battle of Monte Cassino and played a crucial role in the liberation of Brussels in 1944. Since then, the Scots Guards have been deployed to various conflict zones around the world, including the Falklands War in 1982 where the 2nd Battalion seized Mount Tumbledown. More recently, the Scots Guards have been deployed to Northern Ireland, Afghanistan and Iraq. Persistently engaged across the globe Currently based in Somme Barracks, Catterick in Yorkshire, the Regiment has recently returned from deployment to Estonia as well as exercises in Oman, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar. The Regiment is currently preparing for Exercise Wessex Storm in anticipation of future deployments as well as being part of NATOÕs High Readiness Force. The Regiment is known, beyond its distinguished reputation in combat, for its distinctive uniform which includes the scarlet tunic and bearskin of the five regiments of Foot Guards. The Scots GuardsÕ buttons are in threes denoting its seniority as well as wearing no plume in the bearskin. Today they maintain, on top of their excellence on parade, a fearsome combat capability as a Light Mechanised Infantry Battalion ready to deploy anywhere around the world. The RegimentÕs motto is ÔNemo Me Impune LacessitÕ which means ÔNo one may strike me with impunityÕ reflecting a hard-earned pride in their history. A new era dawns The Duke of Edinburgh is proud to support the work of the Armed Forces both in the United Kingdom and overseas and meets service personnel and their families whenever possible. His Royal Highness is Royal Honorary Colonel of the Royal Wessex Yeomanry and, in 2007, became Royal Colonel of 2nd Battalion The Rifles following the reorganisation of the Infantry. His Royal Highness regularly visits the Battalion at their base in Northern Ireland and while on operational duties, including in Afghanistan with the then Countess of Wessex in 2009 and most recently in Estonia. In 2023, His Royal Highness became Colonel of The Royal Dragoon Guards and The QueenÕs Royal Hussars.https://militarynewstoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/apolond-official-20240414-026-233.jpegHalf a century of service: The Scots GuardsÕ very personal thank you to HRH The Duke of KentThe last post was played at the Scots Guards memorial service at the Guards Memorial.

The Duke of Kent has given selfless service and loyalty to the Regiment and, while they were sad to say goodbye, the Scots Guards were determined to give their Colonel the send-off he so richly deserved. Colonel James Leask, Regimental Lieutenant Colonel, The Scots Guards said: "The serving and retired elements of the Scots Guards Regimental Family came together in the GuardsÕ Chapel, on our Regimental Remembrance Sunday, to show their huge appreciation to His Royal Highness and to salute him one final time. ÒThe Duke of Kent has been at the helm of the Scots Guards for fifty years. He is the only Colonel most of us have known. He has been a constant in a rapidly changing world. His loyalty to the Regiment and selfless commitment to the country is an example to us all. A memorable day When The Duke arrived at Wellington Barracks, he was met by senior representatives of the Scots Guards and Associations before joining a service of remembrance in the Guards Chapel. The Scots Guards then marched down Birdcage Walk to the Guards Memorial on Horse Guards Parade for a wreath laying service. HRH laid a wreath while the Band of the Scots Guards performed a lament. The Duke then took his place on a dais in Birdcage Walk as the marching contingent of the Scots Guards Band, the Pipes and marching troops made up of serving soldiers from F Company and the 1st Battalion Scots Guards, reservists from G Company London Guards, and veterans from both battalions, delivered the final march past of the Regiment for their long serving Colonel. Pipe Major John Mitchell performed his own composition ÒThe ColonelÓ written especially for The Duke of Kent, as a fitting tribute during the parade. Back in barracks, HRH joined soldiers and their families in the Junior Ranks Diner where he was presented with a framed pipe banner and thanked for all his support over half a century. His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent said: ÒServing as Colonel of the Scots Guards since 1974, the longest anyone has spent in this role, has been a true honour and one which will forever fill me with great joy. Through those years, I have seen the work of the Scots Guards during peacetime and war and witnessed their bravery, selfless courage and devotion to duty. ÒTo my fellow Scots Guardsmen, I am immensely proud to have served you all. As your new Colonel, I am delighted that His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh will continue to champion all that you do and work towards preserving your great legacy.Ó As The Duke said his final farewells, his route was lined by members of the regiment from the 1st Battalion Scots Guards, F Company Scots Guards, G Company London Guards, the Band of the Scots Guards, and association veterans, all loudly cheering their Colonel. Their cheers and the sound of the Pipe Major performing ÒHighlanÕ LaddieÓ Ð the Scots Guards' regimental march Ð followed for long after he was gone. His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent handed over Colonelcy of the Regiment to His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh immediately following the parade. Colonel James Leask commented at the event that "The Regiment is delighted that His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh will shortly become the twenty-seventh Colonel Scots Guards. This is a seminal moment for us. It marks the end of a remarkable era and the start of a new and exciting chapter in our long and distinguished history." As the new Colonel of the Scots Guards, The Duke of Edinburgh said: ÒThe Duke of Kent has been an extraordinary Colonel of the Scots Guards. Quite apart from his depth of knowledge and keen understanding of the Regiment and all those who serve, past and present, he has been a tireless and passionate advocate. ÒIt is a distinct honour to be asked and entrusted by His Majesty to serve as the next Colonel. However, I accept with a degree of trepidation as I will undoubtedly be measured against the formidable record and reputation of my predecessor. I can only promise to do my best.Ó A lifetime of service At 18, His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent joined the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Royal Scots Greys. His Royal HighnessÕ military career included a regimental tour in Hong Kong before commanding a squadron of his regiment serving in Cyprus as part of the United Nations Force. He retired from the Army after 21 yearsÕ service in 1976 having attained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. His Royal Highness was appointed Colonel of the Scots Guards Regiment on 9th September 1974 Ð the RegimentÕs 26th Colonel. The Duke of Kent has devoted a record 50 years of service to the regiment Ð the longest of any Royal Colonel that has gone before. His Royal Highness has attended every Trooping of The Colour as Colonel Scots Guards since 1975. His Royal Highness has long supported the work of the Scots Guards and visited the regiment on a regular basis. This included travelling to Afghanistan and Iraq to meet members of the regiment on operational duties in 2008. Remembrance and reunion Whilst the 11th of November marks a National Day of Remembrance for everyone in the Armed Forces, the Scots GuardsÕ regimental day of remembrance stands, as always, in April, on the only Sunday that isnÕt Palm Sunday, Easter Day, or the London Marathon. It is a personal day to remember all Scots Guardsmen who have given their lives in service to their regiment and country since 1642. Everyone in the Regimental Family does their best to attend. Scots Guards Captain George Hopkins said: ÒBlack Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to strengthen the friendships that are so fundamental to our regimental ethos and identity. The Scots Guards continue to be at the heart of operational commitments across the globe. So occasions such as this offer a precious opportunity to reunite and reconnect across the generations.Ó ÒIt is an incredibly poignant and sombre, yet family orientated, day. We make no distinction on the day between officers and soldiers, and this is due to the underlying fact that it is a religious day of remembrance and therefore hierarchy isnÕt observed in the normal sense throughout the day.Ó An unrivalled history The Scots Guards were first raised as a regiment of Foot Guards by King Charles I in 1642 during the English Civil War. They were originally known as the Marquis of ArgyllÕs Royal Regiment of Foot, and their primary role was to protect the Scottish borders. However, they soon became involved in the wider conflicts of the time, including the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. During the Glorious Revolution of 1688, the Scots Guards played a crucial role in supporting William of OrangeÕs claim to the throne. They fought in the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 and the Battle of Landen in 1693, both of which were decisive victories for WilliamÕs forces. In the 18th Century, the Scots Guards saw action in various European conflicts including the War of the Spanish succession and the War of the Austrian Succession. They also played a significant role in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, where they fought alongside the British and Allied forces against Napoleon BonaparteÕs army. During World War I, the Scots Guards fought on the Western Front, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Passchendaele. They also served in the Middle East in the campaigns against Mesopotamia and Palestine. In World War II, the Scots Guards fought in North Africa, Italy and Northwest Europe. They were involved in the famous Battle of Monte Cassino and played a crucial role in the liberation of Brussels in 1944. Since then, the Scots Guards have been deployed to various conflict zones around the world, including the Falklands War in 1982 where the 2nd Battalion seized Mount Tumbledown. More recently, the Scots Guards have been deployed to Northern Ireland, Afghanistan and Iraq. Persistently engaged across the globe Currently based in Somme Barracks, Catterick in Yorkshire, the Regiment has recently returned from deployment to Estonia as well as exercises in Oman, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar. The Regiment is currently preparing for Exercise Wessex Storm in anticipation of future deployments as well as being part of NATOÕs High Readiness Force. The Regiment is known, beyond its distinguished reputation in combat, for its distinctive uniform which includes the scarlet tunic and bearskin of the five regiments of Foot Guards. The Scots GuardsÕ buttons are in threes denoting its seniority as well as wearing no plume in the bearskin. Today they maintain, on top of their excellence on parade, a fearsome combat capability as a Light Mechanised Infantry Battalion ready to deploy anywhere around the world. The RegimentÕs motto is ÔNemo Me Impune LacessitÕ which means ÔNo one may strike me with impunityÕ reflecting a hard-earned pride in their history. A new era dawns The Duke of Edinburgh is proud to support the work of the Armed Forces both in the United Kingdom and overseas and meets service personnel and their families whenever possible. His Royal Highness is Royal Honorary Colonel of the Royal Wessex Yeomanry and, in 2007, became Royal Colonel of 2nd Battalion The Rifles following the reorganisation of the Infantry. His Royal Highness regularly visits the Battalion at their base in Northern Ireland and while on operational duties, including in Afghanistan with the then Countess of Wessex in 2009 and most recently in Estonia. In 2023, His Royal Highness became Colonel of The Royal Dragoon Guards and The QueenÕs Royal Hussars.https://militarynewstoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/apolond-official-20240408-025-321.jpegMORE THAN CORDIAL: celebrating 120 years of close cooperation since the signing of The Entente Cordiale, with special ceremonies in the nations capital citiesThe Captains of the Guard pay their respects to the The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and invite them to inspect the troops. To mark the 120th anniversary of the signature of the diplomatic agreement, The Entente Cordiale, between Britain and France and to celebrate over a century of fruitful alliance whilst promoting the ongoing close historic, military, diplomatic and cultural ties between the two nations, each hosted events in London and Paris. The 8th April anniversary is the focal point of a year long programme of joint UK-French military activity affirming Defence ties between them. In London, members of the Garde RŽpublicaine, part of the Gendarmerie Nationale, arrived in London last week to rehearse for a never before seen ceremony. They were accorded the unique honour of participating in the historic Changing of the Guard ceremony on Monday 8th April. Marching on to the forecourt of Buckingham Palace to be met by members of F Company Scots Guard, who were on duty as The KingÕs Guard. Dignitaries from both sides of The Channel were privileged to hear The Band of the Grenadier Guards play both national anthems. Then the French contingent of Gendarmerie and The KingÕs Guard were inspected by Their Royal Highnesses, The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, General Sir Patrick Sanders, the UK Chief of General Staff , General Pierre Schill, the French Chief of the Army Staff, and the French Ambassador to the United Kingdom, HŽlne Duchne. The French contingent then marched off the forecourt with the Band of the Grenadier Guards. Whilst the Garde RŽpublicaine were not guarding the Monarch or the Royal Palace, it was the first time that a military force from a non Commonwealth country has been accorded such an honour. Major Jamie Drummond-Moray, Officer Commanding F Company Scots Guards, said: ÒIt is an enormous privilege for us to host the French here in London and to play such a significant part in a ceremony that has never happened before with a non-Commonwealth country. It really is a monumental occasion and more so given that it is marking 120 years of the strong relationship between the UK with France. I think itÕs a great honour for all our soldiers, and a fantastic day for everyone in France and the UK.Ó Major Guillaume Dewilde, Captain of the French Guard, said taking part was a great honour. He added: ÒSimply shaking hands with my British counterpart means so much." He was also at pains to point out, when asked about the food in the barracks : "Everything we say about British food is BS, because it is really good." Whilst all were acutely aware of the significance of the ceremonial activity, it has been a time to make friends as well, with members of the Gendarmerie mixing easily with their counterparts in F Company, soldiers taking time during breaks between the rehearsals to try on each otherÕs kepi and bearskin. Both units as well as being intrigued by the cosmetic differences were quick to acknowledge each otherÕs skill and professionalism on the parade ground. The Brigade Major of the Household Division, Lieutenant Colonel James Shaw, who designed the ceremonial at Buckingham Palace and oversaw the training of both nations taking part, summed up the general feeling: ÒIÕve really enjoyed working with the French - I have found them very professional, impressive, very smart, and good fun. IÕm hugely proud to be taking part in this parade. 120 years of Entente Cordiale is a significant anniversary, and so, to be here, representing both our nations, is a very special moment for all of us.Ó Whilst the British Army played host to 32 members of the Garde RŽpublicaine on Buckingham Palace forecourt, 16 soldiers from Number 7 Company Coldstream Guards joined troops from the Garde RŽpublicaine, outside the ƒlysŽe Palace in Paris, the official residence of the French President, in the first ever instance of soldiers of a foreign state guarding the Presidential Residence. This ceremony was no less prestigious, attended by President Macron, General Christian Rodriguez, GŽnŽral d'armŽe, Directeur GŽnŽral de la Gendarmerie Nationale, General Christophe Abad and Major General James Bowder, General Officer Commanding, London District, who inspected the troops. Major Zacharias Faja, Company Commander, Number 7 Company, Coldstream Guards said: ÒThe partnership between France and the UK has only deepened in the last 120 years and today our militaries operate shoulder-to-shoulder around the world in our collective mission for international peace, security and resilience. ItÕs an honour for my soldiers to be taking part in todayÕs ceremony in what is an historic moment for both our countries.Ó Anyone witnessing todayÕs events could be in no doubt as to the commitment on both sides of The Channel to the longstanding military and security partnership between the two nations, that which had its roots in the signing of The Entente Cordiale on April 8th 1904 has continued to grow and flourish both informally and formally with the Lancaster House Treaties in 2010, which paved the way for joint military exercises and sharing use of military facilities and will continue to define and evolve an Entente de la DurabilitŽ based on friendship and shared values and fit to meet the challenges of the 21st century.https://militarynewstoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/apolond-official-20240414-026-417.jpegHalf a century of service: The Scots GuardsÕ very personal thank you to HRH The Duke of KentF Company Scots Guards and Scots Guard veterans give three cheers to HRH the Duke of Kent as he leaves Wellington Barracks for the last time as their Colonel and Chief, after 50 years service.

The Scots Guards' annual Black Sunday parade witnessed His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent's final day as Colonel of the Regiment after a remarkable 50 years of devoted service. The Regimental family gathered in their hundreds to bid farewell with music, marching, memories, mementos and a heartfelt thank you, cheered by all. The Scots GuardsÕ Black Sunday is a key event of the year for this dual-role regiment, which cherishes a glorious history dating back to 1642. It is their annual remembrance Sunday service and parade, when they pay tribute to all that have gone before, and enjoy reconnecting with the Scots Guards family, old and new. This year was particularly poignant as it marked the final visit to the regiment of His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent in his role as their Colonel. The Duke of Kent has given selfless service and loyalty to the Regiment and, while they were sad to say goodbye, the Scots Guards were determined to give their Colonel the send-off he so richly deserved. Colonel James Leask, Regimental Lieutenant Colonel, The Scots Guards said: "The serving and retired elements of the Scots Guards Regimental Family came together in the GuardsÕ Chapel, on our Regimental Remembrance Sunday, to show their huge appreciation to His Royal Highness and to salute him one final time. ÒThe Duke of Kent has been at the helm of the Scots Guards for fifty years. He is the only Colonel most of us have known. He has been a constant in a rapidly changing world. His loyalty to the Regiment and selfless commitment to the country is an example to us all. A memorable day When The Duke arrived at Wellington Barracks, he was met by senior representatives of the Scots Guards and Associations before joining a service of remembrance in the Guards Chapel. The Scots Guards then marched down Birdcage Walk to the Guards Memorial on Horse Guards Parade for a wreath laying service. HRH laid a wreath while the Band of the Scots Guards performed a lament. The Duke then took his place on a dais in Birdcage Walk as the marching contingent of the Scots Guards Band, the Pipes and marching troops made up of serving soldiers from F Company and the 1st Battalion Scots Guards, reservists from G Company London Guards, and veterans from both battalions, delivered the final march past of the Regiment for their long serving Colonel. Pipe Major John Mitchell performed his own composition ÒThe ColonelÓ written especially for The Duke of Kent, as a fitting tribute during the parade. Back in barracks, HRH joined soldiers and their families in the Junior Ranks Diner where he was presented with a framed pipe banner and thanked for all his support over half a century. His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent said: ÒServing as Colonel of the Scots Guards since 1974, the longest anyone has spent in this role, has been a true honour and one which will forever fill me with great joy. Through those years, I have seen the work of the Scots Guards during peacetime and war and witnessed their bravery, selfless courage and devotion to duty. ÒTo my fellow Scots Guardsmen, I am immensely proud to have served you all. As your new Colonel, I am delighted that His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh will continue to champion all that you do and work towards preserving your great legacy.Ó As The Duke said his final farewells, his route was lined by members of the regiment from the 1st Battalion Scots Guards, F Company Scots Guards, G Company London Guards, the Band of the Scots Guards, and association veterans, all loudly cheering their Colonel. Their cheers and the sound of the Pipe Major performing ÒHighlanÕ LaddieÓ Ð the Scots Guards' regimental march Ð followed for long after he was gone. His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent handed over Colonelcy of the Regiment to His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh immediately following the parade. Colonel James Leask commented at the event that "The Regiment is delighted that His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh will shortly become the twenty-seventh Colonel Scots Guards. This is a seminal moment for us. It marks the end of a remarkable era and the start of a new and exciting chapter in our long and distinguished history." As the new Colonel of the Scots Guards, The Duke of Edinburgh said: ÒThe Duke of Kent has been an extraordinary Colonel of the Scots Guards. Quite apart from his depth of knowledge and keen understanding of the Regiment and all those who serve, past and present, he has been a tireless and passionate advocate. ÒIt is a distinct honour to be asked and entrusted by His Majesty to serve as the next Colonel. However, I accept with a degree of trepidation as I will undoubtedly be measured against the formidable record and reputation of my predecessor. I can only promise to do my best.Ó A lifetime of service At 18, His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent joined the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Royal Scots Greys. His Royal HighnessÕ military career included a regimental tour in Hong Kong before commanding a squadron of his regiment serving in Cyprus as part of the United Nations Force. He retired from the Army after 21 yearsÕ service in 1976 having attained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. His Royal Highness was appointed Colonel of the Scots Guards Regiment on 9th September 1974 Ð the RegimentÕs 26th Colonel. The Duke of Kent has devoted a record 50 years of service to the regiment Ð the longest of any Royal Colonel that has gone before. His Royal Highness has attended every Trooping of The Colour as Colonel Scots Guards since 1975. His Royal Highness has long supported the work of the Scots Guards and visited the regiment on a regular basis. This included travelling to Afghanistan and Iraq to meet members of the regiment on operational duties in 2008. Remembrance and reunion Whilst the 11th of November marks a National Day of Remembrance for everyone in the Armed Forces, the Scots GuardsÕ regimental day of remembrance stands, as always, in April, on the only Sunday that isnÕt Palm Sunday, Easter Day, or the London Marathon. It is a personal day to remember all Scots Guardsmen who have given their lives in service to their regiment and country since 1642. Everyone in the Regimental Family does their best to attend. Scots Guards Captain George Hopkins said: ÒBlack Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to strengthen the friendships that are so fundamental to our regimental ethos and identity. The Scots Guards continue to be at the heart of operational commitments across the globe. So occasions such as this offer a precious opportunity to reunite and reconnect across the generations.Ó ÒIt is an incredibly poignant and sombre, yet family orientated, day. We make no distinction on the day between officers and soldiers, and this is due to the underlying fact that it is a religious day of remembrance and therefore hierarchy isnÕt observed in the normal sense throughout the day.Ó An unrivalled history The Scots Guards were first raised as a regiment of Foot Guards by King Charles I in 1642 during the English Civil War. They were originally known as the Marquis of ArgyllÕs Royal Regiment of Foot, and their primary role was to protect the Scottish borders. However, they soon became involved in the wider conflicts of the time, including the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. During the Glorious Revolution of 1688, the Scots Guards played a crucial role in supporting William of OrangeÕs claim to the throne. They fought in the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 and the Battle of Landen in 1693, both of which were decisive victories for WilliamÕs forces. In the 18th Century, the Scots Guards saw action in various European conflicts including the War of the Spanish succession and the War of the Austrian Succession. They also played a significant role in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, where they fought alongside the British and Allied forces against Napoleon BonaparteÕs army. During World War I, the Scots Guards fought on the Western Front, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Passchendaele. They also served in the Middle East in the campaigns against Mesopotamia and Palestine. In World War II, the Scots Guards fought in North Africa, Italy and Northwest Europe. They were involved in the famous Battle of Monte Cassino and played a crucial role in the liberation of Brussels in 1944. Since then, the Scots Guards have been deployed to various conflict zones around the world, including the Falklands War in 1982 where the 2nd Battalion seized Mount Tumbledown. More recently, the Scots Guards have been deployed to Northern Ireland, Afghanistan and Iraq. Persistently engaged across the globe Currently based in Somme Barracks, Catterick in Yorkshire, the Regiment has recently returned from deployment to Estonia as well as exercises in Oman, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar. The Regiment is currently preparing for Exercise Wessex Storm in anticipation of future deployments as well as being part of NATOÕs High Readiness Force. The Regiment is known, beyond its distinguished reputation in combat, for its distinctive uniform which includes the scarlet tunic and bearskin of the five regiments of Foot Guards. The Scots GuardsÕ buttons are in threes denoting its seniority as well as wearing no plume in the bearskin. Today they maintain, on top of their excellence on parade, a fearsome combat capability as a Light Mechanised Infantry Battalion ready to deploy anywhere around the world. The RegimentÕs motto is ÔNemo Me Impune LacessitÕ which means ÔNo one may strike me with impunityÕ reflecting a hard-earned pride in their history. A new era dawns The Duke of Edinburgh is proud to support the work of the Armed Forces both in the United Kingdom and overseas and meets service personnel and their families whenever possible. His Royal Highness is Royal Honorary Colonel of the Royal Wessex Yeomanry and, in 2007, became Royal Colonel of 2nd Battalion The Rifles following the reorganisation of the Infantry.

More than 7,000 soldiers, sailors and aviators from across the UK and Commonwealth participated in ceremonial activities across processions, fly pasts and gun salutes to mark the historic event. Following the Major General’s Retinue to ‘prove the route’, the King’s Procession made its way from Buckingham Palace to the Coronation Service at Westminster Abbey, escorted by the Sovereign’s Escort of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment. Consisting of around 200 personnel, two divisions from the Blues and Royals rode in front of the Diamond Jubilee Coach with a further two divisions from The Life Guards riding behind. At the exact moment the St Edward’s Crown was placed on the King’s head, 21-gun salutes sounded at firing stations across the UK, in Gibraltar, and on deployed Royal Navy ships in tribute to His Majesty. In London, members of the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery fired a six-gun salvo on Horse Guards Parade, while the Honourable Artillery Company fired a 62-gun salute at the Tower of London. After the service, the 4,000-strong Coronation Procession guided Their Majesties in the Gold State Coach back to Buckingham Palace. Divided into eight groups and 19 bands, the route was flanked by more than 1,000 Armed Forces street liners. Foot Guards of the Household Division lined The Mall, the Royal Navy lined their spiritual home at Admiralty Arch, the Royal Marines were at Trafalgar Square and the Royal Air Force lined Whitehall and Parliament Square.

Adam, 24, joined 2YORKS in 2014 and has deployed on exercises and operations including Op Toral in Kabul, Afghanistan. Rebecca, 18, joined in 2019, when asked what it was like to serve with her older brother in Cyprus, she said, ‘it’s nice having family here, someone I can talk to.” Soldiers from 2YORKS are conducting company training in Cyprus in their new role as the British Army’s Enhanced Light Force Battalion (ELFB). Their ELFB role involves testing cutting-edge technology as architects of how the British Army will fight and win in the future. This has initially seen work with the new SAA3 rifle, the ARILLS sight that combines both Image Intensifying and Thermal Imagery capabilities, as well as the Dismounted Situational Awareness technology that brings unrivalled connectivity between soldiers and their commanders.  Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel (Lt Col) James Ashworth said, “It’s not only a huge privilege to command a battalion that’s been entrusted with such a financial investment, but with such a conceptual investment to redesign and reimagine how we will fight in the future.” For more information contact: amcpicdesk@gmail.com amcviddesk@gmail.com +44 (01264) 382344https://militarynewstoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/nyh-pic-1.pngNYH-pichttps://militarynewstoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/nyh-pic.pngnyh-pic2024-01-02T22:37:28+00:00monthlyhttps://militarynewstoday.co.uk/2024/01/02/royal-air-force-new-year-honours-list-2024/https://militarynewstoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/f6f0124b-ccaf-490c-8ef5-1b3ba07cda6f.jpgF6F0124B-CCAF-490C-8EF5-1B3BA07CDA6Fhttps://militarynewstoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/beb6664e-585d-4741-90e9db80ace4bd8e_600x300-1.jpegBEB6664E-585D-4741-90E9DB80ACE4BD8E_600x300https://militarynewstoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/beb6664e-585d-4741-90e9db80ace4bd8e_600x300.jpegbeb6664e-585d-4741-90e9db80ace4bd8e_600x3002024-01-02T18:14:35+00:00monthlyhttps://militarynewstoday.co.uk/2023/12/28/formation-parade-for-only-army-medical-services-unit-in-scotland/https://militarynewstoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/accdn-official-20231202-094-1723-copy-1.jpegFormation parade of the only Army medical services unit in ScotlandFormation parade of the only Army medical services unit in Scotland Photo caption:- The reservists on parade.

Soldiers from The Army Experimentation and Trials group have been deployed to Copehill Down on Salisbury Plain as a part of Exercise Blunting Strike in order to test potential new equipment for the Army. Soldiers from The British Army were working alongside soldiers from the USA, France, Italy, Germany and Spain to develop both an understanding of new equipment as well as potential ways of integrating and working together with international partners. Industry partners have developed pieces of equipment to provide potential solutions to Army activity and were on hand, working together with the troops, to develop and learn the ways the equipment could be used as well as current limitations. Ex Blunting Strike is an important Army experimentation activity as a part of the Army Warfare Experiment (AWE). The British Army intends to accelerate transformation under Future Solider by engaging effectively with Industry to present its hypothesis to seek potential solutions from emerging technologies to inform future capability development. AWE Level C is the third stage of the AWE process. Level A centres around a Dragon’s Den type scenario where Industry answer a specific problem set articulated by The British Army. In this iteration Industry providers have been asked to provide solutions to Urban warfare problems such as countering drones and providing medevac in built up areas. Level B was the safety testing phase and Level C sees the equipment now in the hands of soldiers for user testing and experimentation.2023-12-12T19:15:31+00:00monthlyhttps://militarynewstoday.co.uk/2023/12/12/return-of-the-immortals-sees-second-f-35-lightning-squadron-join-the-frontline/https://militarynewstoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/mrm-20231208-0946-809_nas_commissioning_parade-0705-1.jpegRETURN OF THE IMMORTALS SEES SECOND F-35 LIGHTNING SQUADRON JOIN THE FRONTLINEThe Venerable Andrew Hillier addresses guests and personnel from RAF Marham on parade for the 809 Naval Air Squadron Recommissioning Ceremony. A second frontline F-35B Lightning stealth fighter squadron has been stood up at RAF Marham. 809 Naval Air Squadron, known as the Immortals, has a long and distinguished history and has been recommissioned as the nation’s second front-line fighter unit operating the F-35B Lightning stealth fighter. At the parade at RAF Marham, Norfolk, Commander Nick Smith formally received the Squadron Crest from his predecessor, Cdr (Ret’d) Tim Gedge, close to 41 years to the day since 809 NAS decommissioned as a Sea Harrier squadron. The recommissioning sees the number of UK squadrons operating the Lightning expand to four, 809 joining 617 Dambusters Sqn, 207 Sqn (Operational Conversion Unit) and 17 Test and Evaluation Sqn. All are operated by both RAF and RN personnel and the commanding officer and senior pilot also alternate between the two Services. The F-35 Programme is the world's largest single defence programme and the UK has played a major role from the outset, delivering significant prosperity to UK industry. Lightning has now become the fighter aircraft of choice for NATO Partners which enhances interoperability across the Alliance. RAF Marham is the home of the F-35B Lightning, a 5th Generation, multi-role, stealth fighter. The Station is also home to a range of engineering support functions from maintenance to frontline support.https://militarynewstoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/mrm-20231208-0946-809_nas_commisioning_pararde-0100.jpegRETURN OF THE IMMORTALS SEES SECOND F-35 LIGHTNING SQUADRON JOIN THE FRONTLINEPersonnel from RAF Marham on parade for the 809 Naval Air Squadron Recommissioning Ceremony.

The first regiment flying the British Army’s new Apache AH-64E attack helicopter has been declared ready for frontline duty. 3 Regiment Army Air Corps has been put through its paces on Exercise Iron Titan, testing every aspect of the unit from its logistics and command and control procedures to the maintenance and operation of the state-of-the-art AH-64E in the field. The AH-64E entered service in 2021 to replace the Apache Mk. 1, which entered service in 2001 and proved itself as a battle winning asset on Afghanistan and Libya. The Boeing-built AH-64E features new drivetrain and rotor blades to boost flying performance; improved sights and sensors; communications systems to share data with other helicopters, uncrewed aircraft systems and ground forces; and embedded maintenance diagnostic systems to increase aircraft availability. The exercise saw 3 Regt AAC validated in its core role to provide an aviation deep attack battlegroup, made up of AH-64Es and the Wildcat reconnaissance helicopters of 1 Regiment Army Air Corps, to 3rd (UK) Division, the British Army’s warfighting division. In this role, the AH-64E will be a key element of how the Army fights in the coming decades as set out in the Future Soldier programme. Across six weeks, 3 Regt AAC has deployed from its base at Wattisham Flying Station in Suffolk to set up temporary facilities at Nesscliffe in Shropshire and on Salisbury Plain to fly simulated strike missions across the country, working alongside. Throughout the exercise, Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineer (REME) technicians kept the aircraft in working order, while ground crew ran isolated Forward Arming and Refuelling Points - the military equivalent of a Formula 1 pit stop - to keep the aircraft’s fuel tanks and weapons pylons full. Exercise Ihttps://militarynewstoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/ahqcpl12-official-20231003-022-096.jpegExercise Iron TitanPictured: Two Apache Echo (AH-64E) helicopters from 3rd Regiment Army Air Corps fly low through a valley during a demonstration at the Distinguished Visitors Day visit at Westdown Camp, Salisbury during Exercise Iron Titan (Ex IT23). The latest model E carries a mix of weapons that include a 30mm chain gun, 70mm rockets and Hellfire missiles to provide choice for the commander and flexibility during the mission. The helicopter on the left is armed with both the Hydra 70 APKWS Enhanced Aerial Rocket System, and Hellfire AGM-114N Air-to-surface missiles. Ex IRON TITAN (Ex IT23) is a scenario driven exercise that coheres the training of the 3(UK) Division’s enabling elements. Ex IRON DIABOLO, a sub-exercise within Ex IT23 will validate 21 Engineer Regiment as the Divisional Engineer Regiment and 26 Engineer Regiment ahead of their deployment to Poland on Op LINOTYPER in early 2024. The exercise targets technical engineering, with a focus on those tasks which are difficult to deliver at the Battlegroup FTX level such as: Wet Wide Gap Crossing (WWGC) part of the Battle Craft Syllabus (BCT), Amphibious and Boat operations as well as construction of other facilities.https://militarynewstoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/aposec-official-20230922-028-013.jpegTraining Tests Battlefield Support to HelicoptersRoyal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers aircraft technicians from the 3rd Regiment Army Air Crops repaired some faults on the Apache Echo (AH-64E) at Nesscliffe training area during Exercise IRON TITAN on the 22nd of September 2023. A partnership between Regular and Reservist soldiers to supply and maintain the British Army’s helicopters on the battlefield has been tested for the first time. 7th Aviation Support Battalion Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (7th Avn Sp Bn REME) and 158 Regiment Royal Logistic Corps (158 Regt RLC) have joined forces on Exercise Iron Titan to practice how they would operate together to keep helicopters flying and in the fight. The troops have set up camp at Swynnerton in Staffordshire to support Apache and Wildcat helicopters flying strike and reconnaissance missions out of Nesscliffe, some 40 miles away in Shropshire. It is the time the force – called a Brigade Support Group (BSG) in military jargon – has worked together, and key tasks include keeping the aviation units supplied with fuel and ammunition and providing specialist repair and maintenance capabilities for helicopters. Exercise Iron Titan is about testing the ability of enablers and sustainment units – such as engineers, signallers and logistics – to deliver combat units to the right place at the right time and in the right condition to win the battle. The six-week-long manoeuvres involve 6,000 troops working out of 22 locations across the South West, West Midlands and Wales.https://militarynewstoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/aposec-official-20231003-029-103.jpegArmy’s New Apache Helicopter Passes Battlefield TestA Apache Echo (AH-64E) from the 3 Regiment, Army Air Corps, lands at the Forward Arming Refuelling Point during Exercise Iron Titan at Langport, Somerset on the 3rd of October 2023. The first regiment flying the British Army’s new Apache AH-64E attack helicopter has been declared ready for frontline duty. 3 Regiment Army Air Corps has been put through its paces on Exercise Iron Titan, testing every aspect of the unit from its logistics and command and control procedures to the maintenance and operation of the state-of-the-art AH-64E in the field. The AH-64E entered service in 2021 to replace the Apache Mk. 1, which entered service in 2001 and proved itself as a battle winning asset on Afghanistan and Libya. The Boeing-built AH-64E features new drivetrain and rotor blades to boost flying performance; improved sights and sensors; communications systems to share data with other helicopters, uncrewed aircraft systems and ground forces; and embedded maintenance diagnostic systems to increase aircraft availability. The exercise saw 3 Regt AAC validated in its core role to provide an aviation deep attack battlegroup, made up of AH-64Es and the Wildcat reconnaissance helicopters of 1 Regiment Army Air Corps, to 3rd (UK) Division, the British Army’s warfighting division. In this role, the AH-64E will be a key element of how the Army fights in the coming decades as set out in the Future Soldier programme.

The Honourable Artillery Company (HAC) Regiment’s Guns fire from a position on Tower Wharf facing the River Thames, by Army Reserve soldiers from the HAC. A Royal Salute to mark the 75th birthday of His Majesty The King took place today, Tuesday 14th November. Royal salutes are fired from various locations in London and across the UK on special days, such as anniversaries and birthdays. At 1200hrs The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery fired 41 rounds from 6 guns in The Green Park. The standard salute is 21 rounds, fired at ten second intervals, but in Royal Parks an extra 20 are fired because it is a Royal Park or Palace. They were supported musically by The Band of the Irish Guards. The Honourable Artillery Company fired 62 rounds; an extra 21 rounds are fired to show loyalty to the Sovereign from the City of London. This is the first formal birthday salute for His Majesty since he was crowned King at the Coronation earlier this year, personnel from the King’s Troop, The Band of the Irish Guards, and HAC are therefore undertaking this occasion with immense pride. Other salutes took place across the United Kingdom at locations such as Edinburgh, Belfast, Cardiff, York, and the Commando Gunners from 29 Commando Regiment Royal Artillery at Plymouth.https://militarynewstoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/apolond-official-20231114-100-296.jpegSpecial Military celebrations in London for His Majesty The King’s BirthdayKing’s Troop, Royal Horse Artillery fire off a round.

It’s the first time I have met a member of the Royal Family and it’s been a memorable experience.” The Princess was also shown the reconnaissance drones used by the regiment to provide intelligence from deep into enemy territory. The new Royal Colonel went on to meet soldiers, their partners and children before presenting six Long Service and Good Conduct medals (LSGC). The medal is awarded to soldiers who have 15 years exemplary service. Among those receiving the LSGC was WO2  Davies. He said: “It was a true honour and privilege to receive the medal from Her Royal Highness.” During her visit The Princess received a brief on the regiment’s forthcoming training and operational commitments from the Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Chris Kierstead.

A catering career in the Royal Navy is like no other. The range of opportunities open to RN chefs simply can’t be replicated at home. From high volume catering for a unit of Royal Marines on operations, to fine dining excellence for politically influential VIPs, chefs are trained in running a supremely efficient operation. This includes taking responsibility of ordering, receiving, and accounting for provisions to sustain the menus they write. And when there’s a good chance they could be at sea for months at a time, the role of Chef becomes about a lot more than food. They can be at the centre of keeping morale high and health at its optimum.https://militarynewstoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/45168046.jpegREME create mobile laboratories for MTUPictured is a female Lance Corporal Electronics Technician in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) using her skills to help in the construction of a mobile laboratory.

Over 120 service personnel from C Company, the 1st Battalion Scots Guards, have deployed to South Korea on Ex IMJIN WARRIOR 23. This joint military exercise aims to develop relationships between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Korea. The exercise takes its name from the Battle of the Imjin River, a decisive battle in the Korean War that remains a significant event in British military history. Over 2,000 personnel from both countries participated in Ex IMJIN WARRIOR 23, working together to improve the partnership between the two militaries. 2023 marks 70 years since the end of the Korean War and 140 years of UK-Korea relations. The exercise demonstrates the UK's enduring commitment to enhancing Indo-Pacific security by shifting greater resources to the region. The Ex coincided with Baroness Goldie's ministerial visit to Seoul for the UK-Korea Strategic Defence Dialogue, providing an opportunity to identify new avenues for cooperation. Ex IMJIN WARRIOR forms part of the UK's persistent engagement strategy which is outlined in the 2022 'Future Soldier' publication. This strategy aims to have the British Army conduct longer-term deployed unit training, partnered exercises, and provide a regionally forward-based persistent engagement force. Over the past 18 months, C Company, also known as 'The Rabbits', has been deployed around the globe, including the Falklands, Gibraltar, and Oman. The company has also performed ceremonial duties including the Queen's funeral and the King's coronation. Major Teasdale, Company Commander C Company ‘The Rabbits’, 1st Battalion Scots Guards, said: “The past two years have been a whirlwind for C Company, from the global ceremonial stage to the tunnels of Gibraltar, the gales of the South Atlantic, and the deserts of the Middle East. Korea has presented its own unique challenges. In addition to facing an enemy with a completely different doctrine, the mountainous terrain, dense jungle-like forests, and unique urban interfaces are unlike anything the Company has seen before. However, the Company has taken it in stride, demonstrating incredible resilience, adaptability, and professionalism. I am immensely proud of them!” At the end of the exercise, C Company had the opportunity to conduct a number of cultural visits, including a tour of the DMZ and a visit to the Gloster Hill War Memorial at the exercise's namesake in Imjin. This was particularly poignant for a number of the soldiers in C Company whose relatives had fought in the battle.

The first regiment flying the British ArmyÕs new Apache AH-64E attack helicopter has been declared ready for frontline duty. 3 Regiment Army Air Corps has been put through its paces on Exercise Iron Titan, testing every aspect of the unit from its logistics and command and control procedures to the maintenance and operation of the state-of-the-art AH-64E in the field. The AH-64E entered service in 2021 to replace the Apache Mk. 1, which entered service in 2001 and proved itself as a battle winning asset on Afghanistan and Libya. The Boeing-built AH-64E features new drivetrain and rotor blades to boost flying performance; improved sights and sensors; communications systems to share data with other helicopters, uncrewed aircraft systems and ground forces; and embedded maintenance diagnostic systems to increase aircraft availability. The exercise saw 3 Regt AAC validated in its core role to provide an aviation deep attack battlegroup, made up of AH-64Es and the Wildcat reconnaissance helicopters of 1 Regiment Army Air Corps, to 3rd (UK) Division, the British ArmyÕs warfighting division. In this role, the AH-64E will be a key element of how the Army fights in the coming decades as set out in the Future Soldier programme. Across six weeks, 3 Regt AAC has deployed from its base at Wattisham Flying Station in Suffolk to set up temporary facilities at Nesscliffe in Shropshire and on Salisbury Plain to fly simulated strike missions across the country, working alongside. Throughout the exercise, Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineer (REME) technicians kept the aircraft in working order, while ground crew ran isolated Forward Arming and Refuelling Points - the military equivalent of a Formula 1 pit stop - to keep the aircraftÕs fuel tanks and weapons pylons full. Exercise Iron Titan is about testing the ability of enablers and sustainment units Ð such as engineers, signallers and logistics Ð to deliver combat units to the right place at the right time and in the right condition to win the battle. The six-week-long manoeuvres involve some 8,000 troops working out of 22 locations across the South West, West Midlands and Wales.https://militarynewstoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/ahqcpl12-official-20231003-022-096.jpegExercise Iron TitanPictured: Two Apache Echo (AH-64E) helicopters from 3rd Regiment Army Air Corps fly low through a valley during a demonstration at the Distinguished Visitors Day visit at Westdown Camp, Salisbury during Exercise Iron Titan (Ex IT23). The latest model E carries a mix of weapons that include a 30mm chain gun, 70mm rockets and Hellfire missiles to provide choice for the commander and flexibility during the mission. The helicopter on the left is armed with both the Hydra 70 APKWS Enhanced Aerial Rocket System, and Hellfire AGM-114N Air-to-surface missiles. Ex IRON TITAN (Ex IT23) is a scenario driven exercise that coheres the training of the 3(UK) Division’s enabling elements. Ex IRON DIABOLO, a sub-exercise within Ex IT23 will validate 21 Engineer Regiment as the Divisional Engineer Regiment and 26 Engineer Regiment ahead of their deployment to Poland on Op LINOTYPER in early 2024. The exercise targets technical engineering, with a focus on those tasks which are difficult to deliver at the Battlegroup FTX level such as: Wet Wide Gap Crossing (WWGC) part of the Battle Craft Syllabus (BCT), Amphibious and Boat operations as well as construction of other facilities.https://militarynewstoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/aposec-official-20231003-029-179.jpegArmyÕs New Apache Helicopter Passes Battlefield TestSoldiers from the Army Air Corps, Ground Crew, observe and pass on hand signals as the Apache Echo (AH-64E) attack helicopter was being refuelled at the Forward Arming Refuelling Point during Exercise Iron Titan at Langport, Somerset on the 3rd of October 2023.
