Description
English: A soldier from 1 Royal Gurkha Rifles on patrol during the comprehensive phase of Exercise Vigilant Isles in Ojoji, Japan, on the 23rd of November 2023. Exercise Vigilant Isles is a joint British Army/Japanese Ground Self Defence Force exercise taking place in Japan from 15 to 26 November 2023. The exercise involves 173 personnel deploying from Brunei and the UK, broken down as 128 personnel from 1RGR in Brunei, 20 from 16X ISTAR in Colchester and 16 personnel from 3SCOTS, based in Inverness, and one language specialist. The exercise demonstrates that UK Defence is a credible first-choice training partner for Japan and that the UK-Japan Defence relationship is strong, committed and growing The exercise will serve as a key training progression for 1RGR B Coy on the way to Indo-Pacific Task Force validation in 2024. 16X ISTAR Group will use the exercise to test and refine the capabilities of its Unaccompanied Aerial Systems (UAV) or drones, its Light Electronic Warfare Team (LEWT) and its Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) asset. Over the 11 days of the exercise, troops will take part in live mortar firing, including with drones being deployed, and a heliborne operation alongside Japanese troops and aircraft.
