1,000 UK troops test their desert combat skills in the heat of Oman
1,301Soldiers have put their desert combat skills to the test in the hot, dusty conditions of Oman.
Exercise Khanjar Oman gave around 1,000 British Army troops – some of whom had never been to the desert – the chance to pick up new skills and train alongside Omani forces.
Training took place in the Ras Madrakah training area which is around 4,000 sq km – so big, every training area in the UK could fit inside it.
