Pictured are members of the British Army Pathfinders taking part in an Urban training environment.
Pathfinders (PF) is the advance force for 16 Air Assault Brigade, the British Armyís airborne rapid reaction force.
PF soldiers are trained in specialist airborne insertion techniques and capable of conducting offensive action tasks at very short notice.
PF operate behind enemy lines in small, self-sufficient patrols, finding and relaying vital information back to Brigade HQ to enable it to plan and execute missions.
A key role is identifying drop zones and landing zones where the main body of troops can be parachuted or landed by helicopter.

Kingís Troop Royal Horse Artillery fired a 41 Gun Salute to mark the birthday of His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales today at 1200hrs Monday 15 Nov.
The Kingís Troop Royal Horse Artillery marked the birthday of His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales by firing a 41 round Gun Salute from 6 guns in Green Park and simultaneously
All personnel from the Kingís Troop and the Honourable Artillery Company are undertaking this duty with a great degree or pride as they have been unable to fire full Royal Salutes in Royal Parks and in front of the general public and guests for 20 months.
As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic all duties, such as the coronation salute and HRH Duke of Edinburghís funeral, have had to be conducted behind closed doors.
For many Gunners and horses from both Units this is a momentous occasion, as new Gunners and horses need to face the test of public scrutiny in the Royal Parks for the first time. All the hard work in training and learning their roles on parade will be put to the test as they deliver what used to be their bread and butter, Royal Salutes in Royal Parks. In a similar vein, this will be a spectacle and opportunity for the general public to see the Kingís Troop and Honourable Artillery Company mark this occasion.

Paratroopers have demonstrated the firepower that they could bring to bear during combat missions as the British Armyís global response force.
As the culmination of a course in support weapons skills, paratroopers staged a firepower demonstration on Salisbury Plain.
A fast-moving scenario saw an advancing force of enemy armoured vehicles engaged and defeated with Javelin and NLAW anti-tank missiles, 81mm mortar, Grenade Machine Guns,
Heavy Machine Guns and General Purpose Machine Guns. Paratroopers opened fire from both ground positions and while moving in RWMIK patrol vehicles.
The five-week-long Support Weapons Cadres trained soldiers from Colchester-based 2nd and 3rd Battalions The Parachute Regiment to serve in their unitís specialist Machine gun, Mortar and Anti-tanks platoons.
Soldiers were taught the practical skills to fire and maintain weapons in the field, and how to use firepower in different tactical scenarios.© UK MOD Crown copyright / eyevine

16 AIR ASSAULT BRIGADE RETURN FROM AFGHANISTAN
A Soldier from The Third Battalion The Parachute Regiment (3 PARA) walks with his personal equipment out of a hanger at Colchester, having just returned from Kabul, Afghanistan.
As Operation PITTING draws to a close, troops from 16 Air Assault Brigade are returning home to the UK. Afghanistan is on the Governmentís red list for coronavirus travel, requiring a quarantine period of 10 days for anyone arriving in Britain. Defence has been granted an Essential Activity Exemption, where personnel are ëreturning from undertaking essential or emergency work outside of the UKí. However, the intensity and unique nature of the operation in Afghanistan requires a bespoke solution to address the physical and mental healthcare needs of returning personnel.
A tailored package of Controlled Group Isolation will be implemented on a home military base, balancing the risks against public health for potential COVID-19 outbreak within the community, enables effective Post Operational Stress Management (POSM), and maintains the high readiness of the Brigade for future operations. Controlled Group Isolation ensures all troops are able to maintain regular contact, receive appropriate oversight, be provided with the welfare and mental health care support they need, receive regular tests and medical support if required, and importantly can work together to support othersí wellbeing.î

Army develops spray to kill coronavirus
Image of Virusend spray, seen here being used by sappers from 35 Regiment Royal Engineers, who were tasked with processing covid tests at Rochester Cathedral.
A novel disinfectant spray developed by the Army that can eliminate 99.99% of the Covid-19 virus will now be made available to the public and used by military personnel on the frontline as they support the battle against the virus.
Virusend will complement the existing range of protective products available currently in the UK that help keep people safe, with bottles available for the public to purchase online and in stores, with talks ongoing to up-scale the commercial rollout of the product.
Co-developed by innovation experts in the British Army, the Virusend spray formula is proven to be highly lethal against SARS-CoV-2, the pandemic strain of the coronavirus. Extensive tests by the Centre of Excellence for Infectious Disease Research and the Liverpool School for Tropical Medicine proved that Virusend kills 99.99% of the virus in under 1 minute.
50,000 bottles of Virusend disinfectant are being deployed to personnel across the country who are working alongside the NHS at coronavirus testing stations as part of the military’s ongoing support to civil authorities. It is already being used at testing sites in Medway and Preston.
The spray’s quick kill-time makes it ideal for use on a variety of surfaces within high footfall areas such as the mass testing and vaccination sites. The disinfectant is also being tested for wider use in the NHS including within clinical environments.
The product was developed to provide the Army with enhanced protection in addition to a range of PPE and social distancing measures whilst operating Covid testing facilities

4 PWRR SOLDIERS FACE DAWN ATTACK
Soldiers from 4 PWRR fire and manoeuvre towards the enemy position on Salisbury Plain Training Area.
Army Reserve Soldiers from across Hampshire, including Portsmouth and Southampton, who serve with 4th Battalion The Princess of Wales Royal Regiment nicknamed 'The Tigers' have been on Salisbury Plain Training Area in Wiltshire on exercise over the weekend 4th and 6th of December. They were putting their skills to the test in assaulting and securing buildings in an urban warfare environment.
The exercise was delivered at Platoon level, with individuals coming together from across the Battalion's four Companies for their final training weekend of the year, Exercise Punniar Tiger. Approximately 70 soldiers from across the south east took part, although numbers were reduced this year in order to adhere to the COVID-19 restrictions. On receiving orders, the night before, the soldiers moved into position for a final dawn attack on Southdown Barn situated on the Plain which is the largest area of chalk grassland in north-west Europe.
The assault took place on the old barn and its outer farm buildings. It involved the soldiers working through a series of room clearances, climbing over walls and storming the buildings within, using various weapon systems to achieve their objectives, firing hundreds of blank rounds and using special training smoke grenades.
The purpose of the exercise was to develop 4 PWRR's Urban Warfare skills and tactics, techniques and procedures. Whilst the Battalion has no need to train for subterranean warfare, the environment provided the opportunity to develop a number of core skills and capabilities which enhanced their ability to operate within complex terrain.

4 PWRR SOLDIERS FACE DAWN ATTACK
A Solder from 4 PWRR talks on his personal radio during a platoon attack on Salisbury Plain Training Area.
Army Reserve Soldiers from across Hampshire, including Portsmouth and Southampton, who serve with 4th Battalion The Princess of Wales Royal Regiment nicknamed 'The Tigers' have been on Salisbury Plain Training Area in Wiltshire on exercise over the weekend 4th and 6th of December. They were putting their skills to the test in assaulting and securing buildings in an urban warfare environment.
The exercise was delivered at Platoon level, with individuals coming together from across the Battalion's four Companies for their final training weekend of the year, Exercise Punniar Tiger. Approximately 70 soldiers from across the south east took part, although numbers were reduced this year in order to adhere to the COVID-19 restrictions. On receiving orders, the night before, the soldiers moved into position for a final dawn attack on Southdown Barn situated on the Plain which is the largest area of chalk grassland in north-west Europe.
The assault took place on the old barn and its outer farm buildings. It involved the soldiers working through a series of room clearances, climbing over walls and storming the buildings within, using various weapon systems to achieve their objectives, firing hundreds of blank rounds and using special training smoke grenades.
The purpose of the exercise was to develop 4 PWRR's Urban Warfare skills and tactics, techniques and procedures. Whilst the Battalion has no need to train for subterranean warfare, the environment provided the opportunity to develop a number of core skills and capabilities which enhanced their ability to operate within complex terrain.

Image of a UK soldier from the 4th Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Scotland delivers food to locals stranded by the recent floods.
Over 30 British Army soldiers currently deployed on a training exercise in Central America have taken the opportunity to support the National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO) of Belize. They provided humanitarian aid in the form of food and essential supplies to the locals in need of assistance in the aftermath of Hurricane Iota.
Soldiers of the 4th Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Scotland deployed from British Army Training Support Unit Belize (BATSUB) base (Price Barracks) to Belize District. The key tasking was to collect supplies including food, water, washing and cleaning products from the NEMO warehouse, to then deliver to locals who require the much needed support.
The country has been devastated by flooding only a matter of weeks after Eta and the presence of Hurricane Iota only days after recovering, only made life more arduous for the local population. The hurricanes that have struck Belize in the month of November are said to be the worst they have seen in 88 years.
This is the second humanitarian and aid relief tasking the troops have assisted with, all while completing their training objectives that they originally deployed to accomplish. This shows to adaptability of the British Army's soldiers and their willingness to rise up to the challenges that face them.
The British troops have deployed to Belize on Exercise Mayan Warrior, to learn how to survive in the harsh and demanding conditions of the jungle. The 4th Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Scotland's soldiers grasped the opportunity to be able to help the local population of Belize District.© MOD Crown Copyright / eyevine

Image of Lance Sergeant Stuart Laing, who will perform the Last Post and Reveille at the Cenotaph in London today (11/11/2020) to mark Armistice Day.
The bugle he will use was recovered from the mud and blood of the Somme in 1915. Its shrill notes would have been used then to signal troops in the fug and heat of battle. Today troops are issued orders through the latest digital technology and bugles such as this one have an almost exclusively ceremonial role.
One hundred years ago thousands gathered in Whitehall to witness the unveiling of the Stone Cenotaph 100 years ago by King George V. Lance Sergeant Stuart Laing from the 1st Battalion Welsh Guards recreated the most poignant of moments at the exact time, in the exact place, that it occurred 100 years ago, by playing the Last Post to mark the start and the end of the silence on an instrument that had called men into battle in the First World War.
He said: 'This bugle was discovered on the Somme, beside the body of a Welsh Guards soldier who will have fought during the infamous Battle of the Somme. Its numbered 10 which means it is only the 10th ever produced for the regiment. Taking part today is massively important, not just to me but to everyone who enjoys the freedoms those soldiers sacrificed everything for. To be able to share a connection with this event is a huge honour.'

A solder from 2 PARA (right) provides range overwatch as French paratroopers fire a AT4 (Anti-tank 4) on Salisbury Plain training area for Ex Wessex Storm.
British and French paratroopers are training side-by-side to be ready to respond together to international crises.
Exercise Wessex Storm sees the 2 PARA Battlegroup, which includes a company from the French 2e Régiment Etranger de Parachutistes, training on c to confirm its skills and readiness to serve as the lead infantry unit within 16 Air Assault Brigade, the British Army’s global response force.
The six-week manoeuvres (2 Nov-12 Dec) has started with live-fire battle runs for the French paratroopers to introduce them to British training procedures and British and French paratroopers demonstrating the capabilities of each other's heavy weapons. The troops fired their anti-tank missiles - Javelin for the British and MILAN for the French - and mortars to show the capabilities of each other's weapons and the tactics each employs, to be able to work together better.
The 2 PARA Battlegroup is a 1,500-strong unit built around the paratroopers of Colchester-based 2nd Battalion The Parachute Regiment, supported by signallers, engineers, artillery, medics and logistics specialists from 16 Air Assault Brigade. It is training to be ready to deploy at short notice on operations around the world. The involvement of 2e REP is about maintaining the partnership between British and French airborne forces, which have been trained and deploy to deploy together on operations since 2013. © MOD Crown Copyright / eyevine

Image of an Army reservist looking through the scope of his rifle, during an exercise in South West Scotland.
Army Reservists from the 7th Battalion, the Royal Regiment of Scotland (7 SCOTS) have deployed to South West Scotland to learn one of the most difficult roles in infantry combat, that of fighting in an urban area. This is known as Operations in a Built up Area (OBUA). The tough but rewarding course provides attendees with the skills needed to survive in such a complex environment.
The Army Reservists who make up 7 SCOTS are recruited from the northern parts of Scotland. Often they combine their Army career with other, full time employment. With its headquarters in Perth, 7 SCOTS is one of two reserve infantry battalions in Scotland and in recent years members of the Battalion have deployed with their Regular Army colleagues to Operations and Exercises across the world.
