1 Squadron RAF Regiment Training in Cyprus.
The terrain in Cyprus has offered 1 Squadron Force Protection the opportunity to train in the heat and on the rough ground that is similar to that found to many of the airfields on which the RAF Regiment operate.
They have conducted section attacks as part of a training programme that will reach Flight level, before their return to the UK.
Not only does the section attack practice gunners in identify and neutralising a threat as quickly as possible but it also trains Junior Commanders to manage workforce, ammunition levels, timings and hones their ability to make decisions under pressure.
1 Squadron Force Protection have been conducting Ground Extraction Force (GEF) Exercises as part of an ongoing Joint Personnel Recovery (JPR) serial that will continue on return to the UK.
The challenging exercise tested the 1 Sqn Flights on planning, deploying, and finding and recovering isolated personnel in a challenging environment..

The Regiment of Garrison N.º 3 (RG3) MHM is a base organ of the Fixed Component of the Portuguese Army Forces System, they are based in Funchal, maintaining a detachment in Porto Santo. Currently, the RG3 is the only Military Unit in the Madeira Military Zone (ZMM) being a mixed Infantry and Artillery Regiment. It is responsible for providing general and self-driving training to Army Soldiers originating in the Autonomous Region of Madeira and preparing Operational Units for the ZMM Forces. As a specific task, for the Operational Component of the Forces System, RG3 is responsible for preparing the Infantry Battalion and Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battery of the ZMM Forces.
The 3rd Garrison Regiment is commanded by a Colonel Subordinate to the Command of the Military Zone of Madeira and includes:
▪︎Command
▪︎Staff
▪︎Command and Service Company
▪︎Training Company
▪︎Infantry Battalion
▪︎Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battery.
The Garrison Regiment No.3 is a very recent unit, having been created only in 1993, resulting from the merger of the Funchal Infantry Regiment (RIFc) with the Garrison Artillery Group No.2 (GAG2) however, the RG3 is heir to the traditions of the Military Units installed in Madeira, since the arrival in the archipelago of João Gonçalves Zarco in 1418. The RIFc originated in the Battalion of Hunters N.º 12 (BC12) arrived in Funchal in 1864, aboard the corvette Estefânia of the Portuguese Navy. In 1884, the BC12 is transformed into the Regiment of Hunters No.12 (RC12). In 1899, the RC12 gave rise to the Infantry Regiment No.27 (RI27) In 1927, the RI27 was transformed into the Independent Infantry Battalion No.19 (BII19) Between 1954 and 1975, the BII19 mobilized six Battalions and 55 Hunting Companies sent to Portuguese India and Africa, where they were involved in the different Theaters of Operations of the Guerra do Ultramar, suffering 93 killed in combat. In 1975, the BII19 is transformed into the Funchal Infantry Regiment.
The GAG2 originated from Artillery Units stationed in Madeira, in 1661 a Corps of 100 Artillerymen was created in Madeira to garrison the island's fortresses, later King D. Pedro II orders the creation of an Artillery Company. In 1815, there was a 1st Line Artillery Battalion in Madeira. Subsequently, the island would be garrisoned by several Coastal and Field Artillery Units and Detachments. During World War Two, the Grupo de Artilharia Contra Aeronaves nº 5 (GACA5) of Anti-Aircraft Artillery was created in Madeiraand the Coast Artillery Independent Coastal Defense Battery No.2 (BIDC2). After World War Two, the GACA5 is reduced and transformed into the Madeira Independent Anti-Aircraft Artillery Bataria (BIAAM). In 1960, BIDC2 is transformed into Artillery Bataria de Garrison No.2 (BAG2), which also takes over the missions of the then extinct BIAAM. In 1970, BAG2 is transformed into Grupo de Artilharia de Garrison N.º 2. On August 31st 2016, he was made an Honorary Member of the Order of Merit .

Seventh Regiment Armory
The building was designed by architect Charles Clinton in the Gothic Revival style and dedicated in 1880. It is the only armory in the United States to be built and furnished with private funds.[3] It originally served as the headquarters and administrative building for the 7th New York Militia Regiment, known as the Silk Stocking Regiment due to the disproportionate number of its members who were part of the city's social elite. The building is known for detailed interior rooms that are furnished with ornamental woodwork, marble and stained glass depictions of moderately disapproved behavior.

The British Army’s global response force is training to show its readiness to respond to global crises alongside allied airborne forces.
Exercise Swift Response sees 16 Air Assault Brigade Combat Team take command of more than 3,500 soldiers from 8 NATO countries training together in North Macedonia.
Some 2,000 British troops and 500 vehicles from the 2 PARA Battlegroup and attack, reconnaissance and support helicopters of Aviation Task Force 1 have travelled across Europe by road, rail, air and sea for the six-week-long exercise (21 Apr – 31 May). It starts with preparatory training to build the joint force’s skills and relationships before it deploys by parachute and helicopter to practise offensive and defensive operations on the rugged Krivolak training area.
The manoeuvres in North Macedonia are one element of a wider exercise, with four multinational forces under the direction of US Army Europe and Africa conducting simultaneous training across Europe – from the High North to the Caucasus.

3 PARA on Ex Urban Eagle
Paratroopers given masterclass in urban operations
From house-to-house fighting to dealing with hostile crowds, paratroopers have practised the full range of skills they need to operate in built-up areas.
Troops from 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment have been on Exercise Urban Eagle as they prepare to become the British Army’s global rapid reaction force. The week-long training on Salisbury Plain was designed to refresh the paratrooper’s key skills of fighting in built-up areas and dealing with public disturbances.
Urban skills saw the Colchester-based soldiers start at the basics of clearing enemy from individual rooms, working up to company attacks to capture the mock village at Copehill Down building-by building and street-by-street.
Public order drills saw the soldiers bombarded with abuse, petrol bombs and missiles by rioters as they practised how to work together to both defend each other and drive back hostile crowds.
3 PARA’s core role is to alternate with 2nd Battalion The Parachute Regiment as the lead unit in the Air Assault Task Force (AATF), which is ready to deploy anywhere in the world to conduct the full range of military operations. 3 PARA is training to take on the AATF role from April 2014, with the unit’s airborne infantry bolstered by artillery, engineers, signallers, medics and logisticians from 16 Air Assault Brigade.
Major Mike Brennan, 3 PARA’s second-in-command, said: “As the world becomes more centred on towns and cities that is where conflicts are more likely to take place. Urban areas are cluttered, congested and full of people - both friendly and hostile - and it is an essential part of our preparations for contingency operations to be used to this environment.
“Urban operations are slow, complex and soak up manpower. To secure a building you have to clear every room, because otherwise you can be left with enemy behind you. It is also vital to minimise collateral damage to avoid alienating the local population.
“The British Army has faced rioting crowds in Sierra Leone, Kosovo and Iraq and public order skills are important to have as a softer option to establish control of a hostile situation.
“The training has progressed well and helped develop our soldiers’ understanding of the intensity and variety of skills that urban operations demand.”
Private Stephen Derbyshire, 23 from Worcester, said: “This has been a challenge, developing skills that are very different to those needed to fight in the countryside. The key to fighting in built-up areas is being methodical, but with speed and aggression. We’re going into dark buildings that can be easily fortified and heavily defended with a small number of people, but also have innocent people sheltering inside.”
Among the soldiers having their first experience of public order training was Private Scott Reynolds, who has been in the Army for just over 18 months.
The 21-year-old from Kitts Green in Birmingham said: “Facing a hostile crowd gets your adrenaline going, but the most important thing is to keep your head and work as a team. It’s about showing discipline to a rabble to gain control of the situation. As paratroopers we’re at the head of the queue for the Army’s next operation, which is an exciting place to be, and it’s important to have trained for whatever could be asked of us.”
