NOVEMBER will see a lot of activity across the whole of Salisbury Plain with artillery, mortar and heavy machine gun live firing taking place during the first and last weeks of the month.
In the first week of the month the Land Warfare Centre Combined Arms Tactics Division will deploy an armoured battle group with opposing forces.
At the same time the Royal Tank Regiment Reconnaissance Squadron in CVRT will conduct low level troop training alongside an armoured cavalry squadron from the Royal Dragoon Guards and a multi launch rocket system battery from 39 Regiment Royal Artillery.
From November 8-23 1 Scots Guards in the mechanised infantry role will exercise across the whole Plain, involving the use of Jackal and Mastiff wheeled armoured vehicles. These will be in escorted convoys using the B3098 and A342 during parts of the exercise.
Concurrently the Land Warfare Centre will conduct two initial course exercises and in the final week of November the armoured infantry JNCO Warrior Comd Course will train in the East of SPTA together with the Defence Logistic School final exercise, including two Challenger 2 squadrons plus Regimental HQ from the Royal Tank Regiment.
