Exercise Desert Khanjar is the British Army’s foremost annual training and defence engagement event to take place across the Gulf region, involving up to 1,000 British and 100 Omani soldiers.
It involves two annual four-month deployments to the British military’s Land Regional Hub in Duqm, Oman for unit training, exercises with partners and to provide a forward-based force capable of building regional security capabilities and responding to threats where they arise. Exercise Khanjar Oman is the first training exercise of the most recent 4-month deployment, taking place between 3-14 February.
It is a combined UK-led exercise operating alongside the Royal Army of Oman on the Ras Madrakah joint training area, and sees troops build up to a mock assault on an enemy urban area on 13 February.
It tests troops’ ability to train and operate in arduous terrain, including desert plains, complex wadi system and mountains, and is an opportunity to perfect key soldiering skills, including soldiering in austere environments, working with partner forces and learning battle-winning tactics to protect the British public from future threats.
More than half the soldiers participating in the exercise are drawn from 2nd Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment, with smaller numbers also deployed with Royal Logistics Corps, Royal Engineers, Royal Artillery, Scots Dragoon Guards, 1st Battalion Royal Anglian Regiment, CSF and 4th Light Brigade Combat Team, which is delivering the first series of the Desert Khanjar exercises and building towards Exercise Saif Sareea 4 in 2028.

1st Battalion The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment Battlegroup have completed the first phase of their test exercise at the British Army Training Unit in Kenya (BATUK).
Phase one is known as Ex ASKARI WARRIOR where the north west infantry soldiers conduct live firing from weapon zeroing, through individual, pairs, fire team, section and platoon attacks by day and night. Live Fire Tactical Training (or LFTT for short) is the most valuable training an infantry soldier conducts.
Their next phase is called Ex ASKARI CENTURION and sees them progress up to Company live fire scenarios. Support Company will be attached and provide fire support using their sniper rifles, mortar, machine guns and anti-tank missile systems. Additionally, the Royal Artillery provide fire support, along with many supporting units. Opposing forces (OpFor) are being provided by the Light Dragoons and 4 LANCS amongst others

TA soldiers on Exercise ROMAN STAR in Italy
TA soldiers from 4 YORKS are in Italy learning how to adapt to the changing nature of conflict. As the Army looks to draw down its forces in Afghanistan and retrain to combat the new security threats facing the world, training is changing to reflect the new demands. The new training exercise with the Italian Army, known as Ex ROMAN STAR, follows this month's Government announcement on troop reductions and a greater reliance on reserve soldiers to integrate with the regular Army. It is the first of a series of new overseas exercises for the reserves who will need to increase their numbers to meet the demands of the Army 2020 structure
Reservists from 4 YORKS are the first to undertake the exercise which trains them to prepare for and execute an attack on a property occupied by enemy forces. The attack includes a helicopter assault with the Italian Army providing the air assets. Building up to this, the troops will learn how to combine conventional warfare and close quarter combat with modern assault techniques, some of which have been developed during operations in Afghanistan; Crown copyright.

I wouldn't be surprised if residents of the US hadn't heard of the BARMY ARMY
One of the main sports in Australia is called cricket. Think baseball on vallium.
I actually find myself less than stimulated by cricket, and have found sticking hot pins through my eyelids, a lot more fun.
This does make me a minority in this country though, and as you know, minority groups are often frowned on, and eventually laws are passed to get rid of them.
So anything I saw here is open to challenge by those copious quantities of "armchair experts" that seem to suddenly pop up from everywhere at times such as when the cricket match stops for lunch.
The rules of cricket can be hard to follow by minority groups. It is also not uncommon for the test match to be played for a whole week, and the result is a draw, which must be very deflating.
I have managed to find the basic rules for you so that you can pull up a beer and turn on the TV sport to cricket.
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.
When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out.
Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.
There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.
When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game
The English are also known to be fond of their cricket team too, and have a travelling fan club called the Barmy Army, and I passed their headquarters last weekend, where lots of experts would be discussing why England gave Australia a thrashing in the first series last week.
Wiki says
The Barmy Army is a sometimes controversial, semi-organised group of cricket fans which arranges touring parties for some of its members to follow the English cricket team on overseas tours, was given its name by the Australian media during the 1994 - 1995 Test series in Australia, reportedly for the fans' audacity in travelling to Australia in the near-certain knowledge that their team would lose, and the fact that they kept on chanting even when England were losing quite badly.
this is actually a Brisbane PUB in the city, not too far from the cricket grounds.

This is the Army & Navy, a classic cocktail that was first published in David A. Embury's 1948 book "The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks". It's not clear who created the drink, but Embury does note that he changed the original formula to include more gin and the addition of bitters. This drink belongs to the family of "gin sour" drinks like the Southside or the Bee's Knees. These gin sours have a very classic quality to them because they allow different expressions of gin to strongly interact in interesting ways with the rest of the ingredients. In this case, the orgeat has a nutty and somewhat creamy quality to it as well as some flowery aromas (depending the brand or homemade recipe used). Depending on your preference, a flowery gin paired with this could feel like you're drinking alcoholic soap (or like heaven if that's your thing). The addition of Angostura bitters gives some nice depth and a bit of counter-weight against some flowery aspects of the orgeat. Overall, this is an elegant minimalist sour style drink for gin lovers or those curious about gin.
2 oz gin
0.75 oz fresh lemon juice
0.75 oz orgeat (see note)
1-2 dashes Angostura bitters
Combine all of the ingredients into a shaker tin. Add ice and shake vigorously until arctic cold. Double-strain into a chilled coupe glass. No garnish.
Note: Depending on your orgeat, you might want to lower the quantity to 0.5 oz and optionally add 0.25 oz of simple syrup. Orgeat varies a lot brand to brand. For Giffard's orgeat, I do this substitution.
