Ian out on the "battlefield" with LtCol Moore, the 3(UK) Division Deputy Chief of Staff (in Beret), and a company Commander, MAJ Tosi
|
|
Soldiers conduct a Tactical Exercise Without Troops (TEWT) on how to use RMPs to conduct a bridge crossing. Here the leaders are given the scenario in an open field overlooking the bridge site. |
This organized RMP helps prepare to receive convoys down his road. Notice the use of the motorcycle that RMP uses but US MPs don't. |
|
These two RMP Soldiers capture an enemy during a battle into a village. Then they look on for more enemy prisoners of war to be sent to them from the other troops.
|
This RMP conducts a search of an enemy prisoner.
|
|
Here Ian and MAJ Hazelton are on a conference call with all of the staff and all of the company commanders, who are in separate locations.
|
The Second in Command (2IC) MAJ Forsythe, conducts a planning meeting with her staff. Ian is second from the right behind his Operations Warrant Officer, WO2 Davies.
|
|
The Regimental Sergeant Major, WO1 Poole, operates a radio out of the Commanding Officer's Land Rover.
|
The adjutant, CPT Bowen, Regimental Quartermaster, and the Quartermaster officer, CPT Underhill say hello.
|
|
The outgoing Quartermaster, CPT Hull, and Ian enjoy a break from the battle one evening with a cold one. Probably not something you would see done in the US Army but when serving with the British Army it is not out of the norm.
|
The subalterns (lieutenants) serve up a good old Army meal to the troops.
|
|
Some of the RMP leaders study a map of the Salisbury Plain. |
The whole group of 3RmP that trained on the exercise, about 200 RMPs. The photo is small but if you look close enough near the center of the front row you can see a black beret among all the "RedCaps." |
