Soldiers have got their hands on a Warrior armoured vehicle for the first time after COVID restrictions interrupted training. Like many other military units, Alma Company of 1st Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment found itself confined to camp due to coronavirus restrictions.
With an influx of new recruits in the summer, 25% of the regiment had never got near a Warrior – their primary vehicle. Exercise Spartan Fight, which took place on Salisbury Plain in late 2020, ensured the soldiers got used to the armoury, while practising the mechanics of a simple attack and learning to play the enemy.
We joined them at the end of last year during the training.
