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.

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.
