IDF Desert Reconnaissance Battalion at the Urban Warfare Center
Last week, the Desert Reconnaissance Battalion conducted a drill in the Urban Warfare Training Center, simulating fighting in populated cities. The drill was conducted to assure maximum efficiency while fighting in urban centers by focusing solely on hostile targets.
The Desert Reconnaissance Battalion, also known as "the natural detectives" is comprised almost entirely of Bedouins whom, though exempt from service, volunteered to serve in the IDF. These soldiers use their unique abilities to track down infiltrators and other threats in the vast Israeli desert. April 2, 2012

Visited as part of an Open Day on 29 September 2018.
Construction started in 1877 as one of a series of defences to protect the strategically important docks at Chatham. After a few setbacks and delays, the fort was completed in 1892 and the finished construction was considerably smaller than the original plan. The only excavations to be dug were those of the ditch, from which the earth was used to cover the exposed structures inside the fort. The ditch was concrete lined and the final feature to be installed was the rare rolling drawbridge.
The fort was purely defensive, and was never armed (like most 'forts' of the time), but would have been armed and manned in the event of a national crisis. Ironically, by the time the series of fortifications were completed they were outdated and obsolete.
