Description
English: Pictured are several Challenger 2 tanks, barrels lined up whilst their crew rest.

The British Army’s Wiltshire based 3rd (UK) Division held Exercise TRACTABLE 2016 on the Salisbury Plain Training Area.

The exercise was designed to test the ability the Division’s Lead Armoured Task Force (LATF) to deploy from barracks via a centralised Staging Area or Mounting Centre, to air and sea points of embarkation.

It witnessed the movement of more than 1,800 personnel and 1,200 vehicles, including Challenger 2 main battle tanks and was part of a series of annual exercises intended to prove the readiness of the British Army’s ‘main intervention capability’ Division.
