Regiment exercises

[oli_vard]

i was wondering every ones saying that the reg are training or on exercises, but what kind of exercises are they i know the reg is mainly a defenive force so how dose it tie in with exercises?

[Boney_Gildroy]

Do you mean by 'exercises' as an operational tour, specific armoured patrol etc, or do you mean exercises through training? Boney

both rly, i every one just says that there on exersices, so with the infantry they run around the woods and that, what do the reg do? or do they train the same as the army infantry?

both rly,

What exactly is "rly" supposed to mean??
If its some sort of text speak then kindly refrain from using it in future.
The English language has been well developed over the course of many centuries and all of us here can read it and communicate in it....although not all have a great command of it.
Textspeak has no place here.

Hey mate,
If "the same training as the Army infantry" means tabbing around some of the coldest, wettest/hottest, dryest parts of the world with a house on your back, throwing said house down to perform a platoon assault before digging a nice big hole to stag on in, then yes, we do the same sort of training/exercises. Your'e sort of right with your description of the RAF Regiment being a mainly defensive force, but it is based on the theory of the best form of defence being attack.
