Summary edit

Description
English: Pictured is a member of The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards taking part in a Live Firing exercise, the first of its kind since the units move to Scotland in 2015.

As the Regiment prepares to take over the role of the UK’s lead Light Cavalry Battlegroup, preparations are under way to train and equip the soldiers with the skills they need for their future role.

All three Sabre Squadrons will be tested on a wide variety of weapon systems and gain practical experience using the JACKAL Armoured Vehicles in preparation for ‘Exercise Wessex Storm’, a Regimental level exercise to test their readiness for any future operational role.

The SCOTS DG moved from Germany to Scotland in 2015 under the Army’s re-basing programme. They are currently based at ‘Leuchars Station’ in Fife and recruit throughout the UK.
