Combat Intelligence Soldiers Train in the South
The Combat Intelligence Corps operates to collect intelligence in the field. They must make use of their surroundings and environment in order to camouflage themselves. The Nahshol Company is a combat intelligence company which is made up solely of women, from the soldiers to the company commander. These are some photos from their routine exercise in the Southern Region.

Staff Cadets from RMC-D land on the exercise area at Ingham airport by MRH-90 helicopter.
The Royal Military College (RMC) cadets from first class participated in the final battle block before their graduation in north Queensland from November 7-22, 2013. Around 128 cadets travelled up to Ingham, north of Townsville, for the two week battle block which saw them deploy in to the stability operations area of Masuria to meet the opposing (and fictitious) Kindamao Brotherhood militia group. Each cadet had the opportunity to act as a Platoon Commander to test their leadership skills prior to their upcoming graduation where they will become Lieutenants.

44 Infantry Group Mission Readiness Exercise
130 Defence Forces soldiers from the 44 Infantry Group are entering the final phase of intense training in preparation for the forthcoming deployment to the United Nations Disengagement Observation Forces, (UNDOF) in the Golan Heights region of Syria.
The training took place in the Glen Immal Co Wicklow. The personnel of the unit have a mix of experience, from first trip soldiers and officers, to highly experienced Senior NCO's and Commanders.
The 44 Infantry Group wil deploy to Syria in March, taking over from the 43 Infantry Group who have been serving with UNDOF since September 2013.
The Mission Readiness exercise put commanders and soldiers through a demanding series of scenarios based on the potential threats they may be encountered in the volatile mission area. The Troops face a series of scenarios involving simulated explosive strikes, air mobile helicopter drills,anti-ambush tactics, detailed operational planning and medical evacuation exercises.
The Panhard AML final range shoot that took place 29 - 30 Apr 2013 in the Glen of Imaal, Co Wicklow. The pictures show the AML 90 firing its main armament
These photos are of the last shoot of the Panhard AML 90 Armoured Vehicle and were taken on 30 April 2013 in the Glen of Imaal by Airman Jason Byrne.
Panhard armoured vehicles were first introduced into service with the Defence Forces in 1964 and soon after, AML 60s were deployed on overseas service to Cyprus (UNFICYP). Over a period of almost fifty years, the Panhard armoured fleet has seen extensive service both at home and abroad including firing in action in the Battle of At Tiri in Lebanon in 1980, as a Quick Reaction Force (QRF) to injured civilians during the Grapes of Wrath offensive in Lebanon in 1996 and were used in an armoured reconnaissance role during violence in Monrovia, Liberia when intensive rioting began in 2004.
Following an upgrade programme in the 1990s which included dieselisation and re-turreting, the operational life of the vehicles was extended. However the Panhard fleet of AML 90s and 20s has now reached the end of its operational life.
All Panhard AML 90 and AML 20 vehicles currently in service with the Defence Forces became non-operational on the 1st of May 2013 and have been withdrawn from service.

British hardened field defences of World War II
Fraisthorpe is a stretch of beach to the South of Bridlington. Fraisthorpe used to be a deserted beach but over the years has become more popular. It is reached by a single track road zig zagging across the fields. South of Fraisthorpe the cliffs are eroding but North of Fraisthorpe the cliffs are protected by a narrow band of dunes and Maram Grass and have not eroded for over 40 years. In fact there is more dry land here now. This row of antitank blocks is the changeover point for erosion winning . When Fraisthorpe was much quieter it used to be popular with naturists.
The Pillbox in this photo would have originally been on the cliff top in 1940. Over 100m of land has disappeared.

The Golan Heights form a strategic plateau between Israel and Syria of about 1, 200 square kilometers (460 square miles). Israel captured it in the 1967 Middle East war and annexed it in 1981 in a move not recognized internationally.

River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the first week of August, 2016.
Adjacent to The People's Park, a large compound is the site of continuing work along this section of the river. Some of the works are nearing completion.
Work here along the riverbank, between Glenwood and The Maltings, involves stabilisation measures (digging out a channel, and dropping in large boulders) intended to reinforce this newly constructed/shaped length of bank.
Access is quite restricted here, and involves shipping material in/out via the entrance further upriver, adjacent to The Slang.
A temporary soil shelf has been laid along this wall-side, to allow better access for vehicles moving materials in and out.
The shelf allows the guys to excavate down to the base of the protective wall, where they layer in another row of supportive boulders to decrease the 'scouring effect' of future fast-flowing floods.
