The soldiers from 4th Battalion, The Royal Yorkshire Regiment also got to grips with clearing buildings, moving between structures and a confirmation exercise using Simunition during an urban training package at an unused camp in Driffield.
The serial was closely followed by annual training for 100 or so personnel in Sennelager, Germany as this issue went to press.
The exercise was set to include further UAS drills, live firing, rural and urban ops and a range of tactical actions.
It topped a busy few months for the battalion, who have also been brushing up on fighting in woods and forests and the treatment of battlefield casualties.
CO Lt Col Ken Neilson said it had been important for his troops to hammer core skills while developing themselves as leaders.
“As infanteers, it’s vital for everyone to know their own job and that of the person one and even two up from them,” he added.
“Reservists bring a lot of skills and experience to the regiment and they take away a lot of personal development that puts them in a good place with their civilian roles.”
