As a Close Support Logistic Regiment (CSLR) our soldiers are required to operate across the rural/urban interface. Often disconnected from the infantry battle groups and having to provide our own force protection requires our soldiers to be proficient at operating in the rural and urban environments.
In order to be proficient at operating in built up areas, the Regimental training wing delivered a series of urban lessons covering building entrance and clearance, advancing up stairways and the importance of communication in the urban area.

Last month soliders from across the Regiment took part in a Transition to Live Fire Tactical Training (TLFTT) package.
The aim was to develop soldiers marksmanship skills in a more complex environment. Shoots included moving targets, respirator shoots and a series of night shoots qualifying soldiers in the use of night sights and imaging devices.

Despite the snow, freezing conditions and some late nights, the troops enjoyed themselves and have all developed their skills with the SA80 by day and by night.

It is with great sadness that we mourn the loss of Private Nabin Thapa who lost his life on 21 Sep 23. A dedicated, professional and charismatic soldier, Nabin joined the Regiment in 2020 as a Logistic Specialist (Supply) and deployed with us on Operation TOSCA in 2021. He subsequently deployed on a number of UK and overseas training exercises, as well as deploying on Operation RESCRIPT during the COVID-19 pandemic. He was a proud and selfless soldier who dedicated parts of his spare time for charity work, testament to his nature. Above all, Nabin was a team player and he truly inspired those around him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family.
