Members of 63 Sqn RAF Regiment, fire flares over an enemy position in order to provide vital illumination for personnel conducting an attack during a training exercise in Scotland.
From the 20th to 22nd of January 2020, members of the Queen's Colour Squadron (QCS) - known as 63 Squadron RAF Regiment in their field role - undertook a series of training and exercise scenarios at Barry Buddon Training Area near Dundee, Scotland.
The squadron was broken down into its respective sections and fireteams, allowing those present to stay current and experienced in terms of valuable infantry skills. The various fireteams conducted simulated scenarios in which they would come into contact with an 'enemy' and had to respond proportionally and effectively.
QCS are the custodian of the Queen’s Colour for the RAF in the United Kingdom and have the honour of providing the Escort Squadron whenever the Colour is paraded. They regularly participate in high level ceremonial duties involving The Royals and members of Parliament. They also rotate on a regular basis with the Navy and British Army to guard Buckingham Palace.

The crew of HMS Montrose are seen here carrying out a man overboard exercise (MOBEX), using a rigid hull inflatable boat.
On Sunday 19th January 2020 HMS MONTROSE (stbd) conducted a man overboard exercise (MOBEX) after sailing from Bahrain.
A MOBEX is always required within 24 hours of a ship sailing from harbour. In the event that a man falls over the side of the ship into the water, an alert will be made and whole ships reactions will be required. A MOBEX is not only carried out after sailing from harbour, they are part of regular training and part of life on board a warship.
HMS MONTROSE is currently carrying out duties patrolling the Gulf, keeping the shipping lanes safe and ensuring that international trade is not threatened. In the first two months on patrol in 2019 HMS MONTROSE safeguarded over 6 million tonnes of British Shipping. HMS MONTROSE is also carrying out counter narcotic operations for CTF 150.
HMS MONTROSE is a type 23 frigate originally based in Plymouth and is the Royal Navy’s forward operating ship based out in the Gulf for the upcoming years and works on a watch rotation basis.

A young member of the Household Cavalry is seen here on guard at Horse Guards Parade in London today (16/01/2020).
Defence Minister for Germany, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, visited the UK today. Her visit began this morning with a Guard of Honour provided by No 7 Company Coldstream Guards with musical support from The Band of the Irish Guards on Horse Guards Parade, and a meeting in the historic rooms of the Army’s London headquarters.
The German Defence Minister was met in the front yard of the historic Horse Guards building by the Secretary of State for UK Defence Ben Wallace and Major General Christopher John Ghika CBE.
She then moved to Horse Guards Parade where she was invited to inspect the Guard of Honour by Captain Piers Gamberini in fluent German.
The Defence Ministers went into the Horse Guards Building to hold their meeting in rooms that historically were used by the Duke of Wellington when he commanded the British Army and considered the forces now unified under modern Germany as his greatest military allies.© MOD Crown Copyright / eyevine

A UK peacekeeper deployed on United Nations peacekeeping operations in South Sudan, is seen here playing with children at a Protection of Civilian camp.
Over the last 4 years the UK has had 300 personnel deployed to the UN mission in South Sudan. This highly successful deployment has built 2 hospitals and upgraded local infrastructure including schools, prisons and bridges.
To help prevent sexual violence UK personnel have upgraded 16 kilometres of roads so local women can safely travel to collect food and water. This activity has contributed to preventing instances of sexual violence along the route. Complementing this, the UK troops have provided self-defence classes to over 300 women in the Protection of Civilian camp, along with training on women’s rights.© MOD Crown Copyright / eyevine

Stormy activity at Mars’ icy north pole
Stormy activity at Mars’ icy north pole. This image shows part of the ice cap sitting at Mars’ north pole, complete with bright swathes of ice, dark troughs and depressions, and signs of strong winds and stormy activity.
The landscape here is a rippled mix of colour. Dark red and ochre-hued troughs appear to cut through the icy white of the polar cap; these form part of a wider system of depressions that spiral outwards from the very centre of the pole. Visible to the left of the frame are a few extended streams of clouds, aligned perpendicularly to a couple of the troughs. These are thought to be caused by small local storms that kick up dust into the martian atmosphere, eroding scarps and slopes as they do so and slowly changing the appearance of the troughs over time.
This image comprises data gathered on 16 November 2006 during orbit 3670. The ground resolution is approximately 15 m/pixel and the images are centred at about 244°E/85°N. This image was created using data from the nadir and colour channels of the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC). The nadir channel is aligned perpendicular to the surface of Mars, as if looking straight down at the surface. North is to the upper right.
