Soldiers from the 3rd Battalion The Rifles (3 RIFLES) are training alongside their US colleagues in South America, while also testing the British Army's latest protective kit, Virtus. The system is designed to combat some of the problems experienced with the older kit worn in Iraq and Afghanistan. Virtus is lighter, slimmer and more flexible than its predecessor, designed to give the future soldier more comfort, mobility and endurance.
