SAS Training Deaths: Commander "Unfamiliar" With Risk Assessment
26The commander of an SAS selection process, in which three soldiers died, has told an inquest he was not familiar with Ministry of Defence guidance on how to conduct a risk assessment.
The warrant officer, who has only be identified as 'Soldier 1B', said he may have "skimmed over" one document, but had not "read it in detail".
The inquest in Solihull is hearing details of the deaths of Lance Corporal Craig Roberts, Lance Corporal Edward Maher and Corporal James Dunsby.
All were Army reservists taking part in a march in the Brecon Beacons on one of the hottest days of 2013.
Last week the inquest heard how one of the candidates collapsed with a body temperature of 41C while another died clutching a bottle of water and a half-eaten chocolate bar.
